I just finished a Skype call with David Bieneman, he‘s the CEO at Liquidware Labs these days. We started off with talking about the old Vizioncore days when David attended his first VMware TSX 2005 at Vienna, Austria. David also has given me a heads up about a new website called VDI.COM which is a technical resource where thought leaders in server based computing and virtualization come together.
The site is focused on real VDI adoption related issues like desktop and user assessment prior to designing VDI, design and deployment of VDI, best practices on how to secure VDI, how to gauge user experience and measure application level performance, observing user/application workload behaviour, expanding POCs (proof of concepts) to production and of course moderators keep adding more topics.
There are forums, polls, blogs and even classified ads for independent consultants or those selling their old FAT clients! The site it super social and viral. Unlike a standard forum with simple text Q&A - you can share videos, you have an instant messenger built in, chat-rooms, event postings, file uploads and even a photo forum to vent or have a laugh.
The best part is, thought leaders from all over the world have already began to sign up with VDI.com - not the employees of just a single solution or platform!
So head over to http://www.vdi.com and Let the VDI begin!
When you’re not into Skype and want to meet David Bieneman in person, he will be at this year’s VMworld, here’s his quote ..
Eric, the 45 minutes we spent was not enough. I’ll be at this year’s VMworld in San Francisco – booth 1438K in the new innovators pavilion if any of your readers want to come by and pick up a VDI.com giveaway! Lastly so everyone knows, VDI.com is owned by Liquidware Labs... but not smothered by Liquidware Labs. Let’s not have any surprises once that gets out... So now it’s out! We may put some advertisements up on there, but we don't plan on making this an ‘ad site’ using every free space and disrupting the main intent of the site... to share, learn and teach.
