Congrats to my colleagues in the VMware Communities team for creating and fostering a place that made #3 on this list of web sites that IT pros should master in 2009.
There’s some grousing in the comments over at Network World that some of the sites recommended here are “social sites,” but I think that anybody who has participated at the VMware Communities is aware of the value it’s brought them and their career. Virtualization as a platform and data center architecture touches on every part of your stack — hardware, networking, storage, security, apps, and more. Being a part of a community of your peers — one that’s global and 24/7 and damn knowledgeable — is as important a tool in your toolbox as a stack of white papers. This should be your first stop when you have a problem, and I hope you stick around afterward — you’ll probably learn something!
Nine Web sites IT pros should master in 2009 | By Carolyn Duffy Marsan, Network World.
Chances are you’ve already embarked on a server virtualization project, and continued consolidation of your servers is a key
money-saving goal for 2009. Most of you are using VMware for your server virtualization projects, and our product reviewers
recommend you stick with VMware
over Microsoft’s Hyper-V for the foreseeable future. To get the best
real-world feedback on how best to deploy VMware, keep your eyes on the
VMware Communities Web site. It’s got user groups in your community and
lots of tips from other VMware developers that can help you solve
problems faster.
