Really glad to see that this will cut down on the 1-1.5 hour waiting in line that I ended up doing last year!

Well deserved, congrats!!

Same here...I didn't like last year having to wait in line for an hour, but oh well.We'll see how they manage it this year. Got my trip all booked, can't wait for August! See everyone there! Let's get a meetup of sorts going as well

Congrats again man! I'm hoping to take the VCAP-DCA at VMworld and then DCD shortly after. Always good to hear experiences on how the test went!

Awesome! You'll have fun, last year was a blast! Still waiting to hear if my session got accepted or not, but I'll be there either way. We should definitely get some drinks going

That's funny, would have figured it would be the other way around. Either way, I'm really excited for VMworld this year. Some great sessions there!

Interesting, I didn't know that. I was kind of curious as to how I could see the voting numbers. I know people had mentioned you could last year, that's too bad they took it away. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. Do the notifications go out pretty quickly after public voting closes?

haha, sorry about that :) I've had a different username on here for a little while now. I saw another session similar to mine up there from some folks at VMware, so it wouldn't surprise me if that gets chosen over mine. I'm sure they have more experience than I do :) But it's definitely a...

1567 and 1570. So many good sessions up for voting this year. It's going to be hard to make a schedule this year!

You've got some great sessions there, will definitely be getting my votes! I'll be there, can't wait! My two sessions made it to public voting so I'm hoping one makes it through.

I've got the 1511+ with 5x WD 7200 1TB drives serving up NFS and iSCSI for my ESX home lab as well as some windows file shares. It works perfectly and I'd say is definitely worth the price! Nice and quiet too!

lol, I think I'll pass. We have a 2020 also, hardly use it because it's way underpowered

Awesome pics! That's a really good price on the VNXe...I've got budget for a new netapp soon (2040 probably), but I'm going to have to give the VNXe a look. That's much better on pricing than what Netapp was giving us for a similar config

I've got two of these boxes: Supermicro X8SIL-f Xeon X3450 8GB RAM Onboard dual NIC's plus Intel dual NIC's ESXi booting off flash drives Storage is a Synology DS1511+ with 5x WD 1TB drives.

I know a few people (including myself) who have used that book as a primary resource along with the blueprint to pass the exam. It definitely goes over what you'll need to know and combined with your home lab, you should be good shape.
