VMWorld 2008 Presentation – Performance Tuning
Posted by: | CommentsI have been accepted, for the third consecutive year, to be a speaker at VMWorld, which will be held in Las Vegas beginning September 15th, 2008. I will deliver a presentation on Performance Tuning for VI 3.5, aimed for an audience with Intermediate Level experience with VMware Infrastructure. I have delivered similar well-received presentations in past years and I hope that the room is full again!

Welcome to John Davis as a VI Contributor
Posted by: | CommentsWelcome to John Davis, a co-worker of mine at New Age Technologies, to the blog site. Among other notable accomplishments, John is a featured speaker at VMWare’s VMWorld conferences and has significant experience doing virtualization projects. Look for insightful posts from John.
John starts out posting with a bang. Check out the Supplemental VI 3.5 Reading post and all the quality links with sample scripts and reading materials.
Supplemental VI 3.5 Reading
Posted by: | CommentsI am a VMware Certified Instructor, who teaches several classes, including the Install and Configure class, Deploy Secure Analyze class, and the FastTrack class. I teach 50% of the time and perform Professional Services the other 50%. In my opinion, I think the Install and Configure class should include some additional material that I typically find necessary, whenever implementing VI 3.5 for a new customer. So, to accommodate my students, I like to provide a stanadard set of supplemental documents. Some of these are created by New Age Technologies and some by VMware. Take a look and let us know what you think. I plan to update these documents continuously.
