Although it feels like VMworld 2011 in Las Vegas has only just finished, the European conference is already almost on us. I thought I'd put together a short note on what I'm involved in at VMworld 2011 in Copenhagen.
#VSP1700 – vSphere 5.0 Storage Features co-presented with Paudie O'Riordan, Storage Escalation Engineer with EMEA GSS. This seemed to go quite well at VMworld Las Vegas, and covers pretty much everything new in the storage space that came out in vSphere 5.0. Currently scheduled for Thursday at 12:30pm.
#GD21 – Group Discussion on Storage Best Practices, again with Paudie. I really like these, and the ones in Las Vegas seemed to go very well with a lot of audience participation/interaction. There is no set agenda for these group discussions, and it is basically a round-table discussion about all things storage. It is powerpoint free (for the most part). And of course you'll have Paudie telling you about the horror stories he's seen in support! Not to be missed. 🙂 Currently scheduled for Tuesday at 9.00am.
#GD47 – Group Discussion on the vSphere Storage Appliance (VSA), with Tushar Shanbhag, Product Manager for the VSA. We didn't have this in Las Vegas, so its really cool that its in Copenhagen. I've done a lot of postings on the VSA in the past, and it is now getting some real traction in our customer base. This is also an opportunity to not only learn about the VSA, but also influence the direction of the product. Tushar is the guy who puts together the VSA roadmap, so you might also learn about some cool new VSA features planned in forthcoming releases. Currently scheduled for Wednesday at 4.30pm.
Experts 1:1 – Spend 15 minutes with me, talking about all things storage. No fixed agenda so you can bring along any topic of your choosing. Very informal. Currently scheduled for Tuesday at 10.30am.
