VMworld - 36

We've been hearing a lot about the Dutch vMafia, so we went to meet them to see if we could find out a little bit more about what they do. See if we managed to get away in one piece.

This afternoon Eric Sloof and Mattias Sundling were interviewed by Jeremy van Doorn, the famous presenter of VMworldTV. In this interview we are discussing the highly popular “Mythbusters goes virtual” VMworld session. This session (VSP3067) will be repeated at Thursday 14:00 but the great news is that it also will be presented by Mattias and Eric at the Dutch VMUG which will take place at the 9th of December 2011.  

Get a sneak peak at what you can learn from one of the highest rated sessions at VMworld Europe. The Mythbusters go Virtual to tell you all about some common misconceptions and teach you to avoid them.

The VMworld, hosted by VMware, is the leading virtualization and cloud infrastructure event of the year. It's specifically designed for IT professionals seeking to accelerate success in their enterprises as they preserve existing investments while aligning their specific requirements to enable the cloud.

This year’s VMworld is about to kick off at the Bella Center in Copenhagen, but next year it will be more south, far more south… Barcelona.

Mark your agenda’s for some tapas – 16...18 October 2012  October 9th to 11th Spain will get hot and virtualized!!!

Monday October 17th from 20:00-24:00 is your chance to meet up with peers before VMworld 2011 starts. This event is free for all attendees of VMworld and VMUG members. Please bring your VMworld badge or registration as a ticket. It’s not possible to pre-register for the event. VMUG DENMARK invites you to have free beer and soft drinks all night at one of the coolest places in Copenhagen.

See you all there - Cheers - http://www.vmugparty.com/

While I was reading the frequently asked questions at the VMworld.com website I noticed something special:

To reduce the impact on the environment, shuttle service will not be provided. Instead, you will receive a 4 day Metro card at registration when you receive your badge. The Bella Center has its own Metro station and is on the Green M1 line.

The Copenhagen Metro has two lines which run from suburban Vanløse to Vestamager and Copenhagen Airport, both situated on the island of Amager. The Metro opened in 2002. It takes 23 minutes to travel through the entire system. Most passengers, though, spend a maximum of 6-7 minutes at a time in the Metro. The lines cover 21 km. 10 km in tunnels and 11 km on elevated tracks and embankment.

The “Myhtbusters goes virtual” session was very well received at the VMworld 2011 Las Vegas. Because of that, it will also run at the VMworld 2011 Copenhagen. So hop over to the schedule builder and reserve your seat. The “Myhtbusters goes virtual” session is scheduled for Tuesday at 10:30am in Auditorium 11 repeating VSP3067 on Thursday at 14:00.

When’re attending “Myhtbusters goes virtual” - keep in mind I will guarantee that after this session, you will take your notes and change a thing or two in your own data-center :-) promise. Please join Mattias Sundling and Eric Sloof Tuesday at 10:30am in Auditorium 11.

Some things never change, or do they? vSphere is getting new and improved features with every release. These features change the characteristics and performance of the virtual machines. If you are not up to speed, you will probably manage your environment based on old and inaccurate information. The vMythbusters have collected a series of interesting hot topics that we have seen widely discussed in virtualization communities, on blogs and on Twitter. We’ve put these topics to the test in our lab to determine if they are a myth or not.
