VMworld - 73

It’s busy at the Moscone convention center in San Francisco. VMware is making all the preparations for the VMworld 2007. I collected some video footage. It’s without sound but I’m still working on that. You can visit my YouYube page at this address.

Next Saturday me and my wife will fly from Brussels to San Francisco where I’m going to visit the VMworld 2007 event. During this event I will try to record a lot of audio interviews and capture some video footage. The lead-in for the audio interviews is ready and I also created a nice leader for my you-tube video’s. I used the online schedule builder to create an interesting list of sessions. I will team up with two fellow VMware certified instructors. Viktor van den Berg just bought a new flash light for his Nikon D50 camera and he will cover the event for the Dutch Vmug. He has opened a new photo-set on his Flickr site, where you can find the VMworld 2007 photo’s. Bouke Groenescheij is busy with the preparation for his “The Complete Clustering How-To�? presentation. He will cover the event live using his weblog. The first official event will take place on Sunday. Vizioncore organized a partner appreciation evening. I don’t know what to expect, but I’m confident that Vizioncore will throw a great party. Keep a close watch to my site and stay up- to-date.

In exactly one week the VMworld 2007 in San Francisco will start. A great event with thousands of attendees. Some companies probably will announce new products at the VMworld 2007 . I collected the following information. If you have any news about any announcements please leave a comment.

- VMware will launch VMware Server 2.0.

- Vizioncore will re-launch  the Invirtus products and announce the new prices.

- VMware and Dell will launch VMware ESX Lite.

- Transitive will launce Quick Transit.

I was wondering where the VMworld 2007 party is going to be. The only thing I can find in “My Schedule�? is  Wednesday, September 12 7:30pm - 11:00pm VMworld Party. Until now this is the best kept secret at VMware. After searching the internet I have found this VMTN discussion. So the location is going to be Treasure Island and we can enjoy a concert from Smash Mouth but can we trust Brian Gallob on this ?  ;-)
