Vmworld on The IT Hollow

Tech Field Day Extra

Hey! You got your VMworld in my Tech Field Day!

The makers of Tech Field Day are having an “Extra” set of sessions at VMworld 2014 this year in San Francisco.

As you may already know, the Tech Field Day group gets together a set of delegates to engage with some vendors about a variety of solutions. These discussions are all streamed live, as well as posted for later viewing. The discussions are to be technical in nature and can be directed in a much different path than a normal “set” presentation.

VMworld 2012 Right Here Right Now

VMworld 2012 was in San Francisco this year and the weather was beautiful. San Francisco was a lovely host and the Moscone Center proved to be very capable of handling the large crowds that were around for the event.

The Solutions Exchange was massive. It included companies like HP, EMC, Netapp as well as some startup companies like Tintri, PHD Virtual and a very new Cloud Physics which was the talk of VMworld this year. Check them out at http://www.cloudphysics.com.

VMWorld 2011

VMworld 2011 was held at the Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas. Over 25,000 attendees this year.

It was held in Las Vegas, but the sites and attractions didn’t take away from the event. Despite all the distractions that Las Vegas can provide, there was too much going on at VMworld to get caught up in the city.

My favorite part of VMworld was the Hands on Labs.

After signing up for the specific lab you wanted, you were ushered to your assigned desk. There were dual screen workstations setup at every desk and very straight forward instructions on how to complete the labs. These labs would get very in depth and would show you why and what was happening behind the scenes when you would perform your operations. I especially enjoyed the Netapp lab.
