There are of course a bunch of cool events coming up, as usual, in the exciting world of virtualization.
The VMware Forum is making a stop in Chicago and London today, and continues to Minneapolis, Toronto, and Prague. The web page with details is linked from vmware.com homepage – in the grey box that says “VMware Forum 2011” on the lower left.
We have a ton of webinars coming up soon, on topics ranging from Real-Time awareness and risk assessment, over cloud adoption by federal agencies, to desktop virtualization in hospitals. There are more webinars listed there than I have time to mention here, so go have a look at webcasts.vmware.com
A full-day regional VMUG conference is coming up in Vancouver on the 21st of June. A regional conference is more than your usual VMUG meeting. It’s a full-day conference, with an agenda including interesting speakers. The Vancouver conference will feature John Troyer’s talk, so there’s your additional motivation to put this on your calendar.
Additionally, the following VMUGs are meeting over the next seven days: Romania, Calgary, Columbia, Scotland, Western Michigan, Indianapolis, Nashville, Central Ohio, Poland, South Florida, Northern Indiana, Seattle, Halifax, Jacksonville, and the fabulous Las Vegas. You can find more details and registration links for all the VMUG meetings at myvmug.org by clicking on “Events.”
Tomorrow at 2:30 p.m. EDT, the Virtualization Security Podcast by our VMTN community member Edward Haletky will focus on PaaS.
