We had a record crowd today to find out more about VMware’s vCloud initiative. Bill Shelton joined us as our guest. We talked about topics like REST-based provisioning and lifecycle APIs, service providers, massive VC scalability, VDI, and failover out of the cloud. Listen with the widget at right, the mp3, or iTunes. (1:04 duration)

- Rodney Haywood: Gartner validates Nick Carr
With the current cloud offering one needs to rearchitect your
applications or do things in different ways. This is not a standardised
approach which is what the utility of computing requires. After all you
can plug into any electical point and things work. With virtualisation
and the VDC-OS and vApp framework you will not need to change your work
loads. This is where I think we will see the Carr vision turn into
reality.
Upcoming: We are live every Wednesday @ noon Pacific time. You’re more than welcome to join us on the chat or via phone.
