This is part 3 of my VMworld 2011 recap posts. Day 3. I woke up to aching legs, which is to be expected considering I have spent the last two days on my feet for around 14 hours. I had arrange to meet Chris Colotti (@ccolotti) for breakfast at 6.45 am. We were presenting our session “CIM1264 – Private vCloud Architecture Technical Deep Dive” at 8am. We headed off to the employee lounge, some of you may have noticed Chris’ tweet on breakfast for champions. It consisted of a bowl of Special K, Red Bull and a large cup of coffee (for me being the true Brit that I am, the coffee was replaced with Tea). We got to our session room for around 7.30am. The guy organising the Audio was great. He kindly agreed to play a bit more upbeat music, rather than the standard mellow music that had […]

VMworld Europe – Session time announced
Now VMworld US has finished, it is time to concentrate on VMworld Europe. Chris Colotti (@ccolotti) and I presented #CIM1264 Private vCloud Architecture Technical Deep Dive three times in Las Vegas, and reviewing the session surveys and Twitter posts it was a great success. For those who want to learn more about VMware vCloud Director architecture and to dive into Allocation Models and Networking, this session will be ideal for you. Currently the session is only scheduled once on Tuesday 18th at 12:00pm. If this session proves to be as popular as it was in the US, then we will attempt to schedule another slot.

My first VMworld 2011 – A speaker’s recap – Day 1
How do you start to describe your first VMworld? I think the best way is to use one word “WOW!” It all started off with attending a session by Duncan Epping (@DuncanYB) and Frank Denneman (@FrankDenneman) with Chris Colotti (@ccolotti) moderating. This session was titled “VSP1682 – vSphere Clustering Q&A“. It was very well organised and kudos to the guy that “Stumped the Chumps” and won the book for the unanswerable question. During this session I met Alan Renouf (@alanrenouf) who works in Technical Marketing and is a close friend of PowerCLIMan. I had spoke with Alan numerous times on Twitter, and was cool to finally meet him. I thoroughly enjoyed the live Q&A Duncan and Frank did, and was impressed with the sheer amount of people that turned up at 8am. Once the session finished it was off to the Speaker Resource Centre with Chris Colotti. We were presenting […]
