VMware Networking Blog

Have you ever tried to explain or justify virtualization to someone, but walked away feeling they didn’t quite get it? e.g. your boss, or maybe someone else that needs to “get it” for you to get your job done.

Here’s a great video that is crisp, concise and hits all the main points in an easy to understand way.

(yes, I know it’s not strictly networking, but I thought this was really useful)

The Virtual Computing Environment (VCE) coalition was announced this morning. This is a coalition between Cisco and EMC, together with VMware to accelerate customers’ ability to increase business agility.

Apart from bringing a single point of contact for design, service, and support, the coalition introduces the notion of the “Vblock Infrastructure Packages.” These are ready-to-go infrastructure packages that are fully tested, integrated and validated.

You can find more information (presentations, papers, videos, etc) at:

• Press Release
• Cisco’s VCE Coalition page
• EMC’s VCE Coalition page

As always, Chad Sakac from EMC also has a lot to say over on his Virtual Geek blog.
