    VMware's New Expert Certification Program

    So if we're going to make associations VCP = CCNA VCAP = CCNP New thing = CCIE VCDX = CCA Is this how it's trying to be positioned? I'm still curious on the plans for the exam itself, would it just be a DCA lab on steroids along with a written exam? Personally, I like it. While I've had the...

    If given a choice between these VMware-based specialities...

    You may not get the liberty of having such a choice. Kidding, congrats! It's a fun ride, been doing it for 3 years with no intentions on stopping just yet.

    If given a choice between these VMware-based specialities...

    My position/pay isn't changing, just a specialty route that I have to focus on will. With that being said, I still want to make sure whatever product(s) that I have to get stovepiped into will have plenty of growth in the marketplace. Yes and no. You're right that I'm not going to get out...

    If given a choice between these VMware-based specialities...

    So I had a career development talk with my boss the other day and he wants me to choose a specialty as the vSphere/vCD-based engagements are obviously slowing down. I'm having a hard time deciding which route to take and really trying to be as diligent as I can about making the decision. I'm...

    Your home ESX server lab hardware specs?

    Just took the dive on a Mac Mini for the first host in the lab. Sure, not as beefy as some custom stuff that could be built up but I was looking for something with a small form factor, low power consumption and quiet. I'm on the road a bunch, so I wanted something I could leave running without...

    VMWorld 2013 roll call!

    Whoa! Nice! Opted not to get shitfaced last night and got up at 3am to catch the first flight out, back in the Carolinas. Had a blast though.

    Will vSphere 6 be announced at VM World?

    Tried today but struck out as they weren't handing them out till 4 and that's when one of Duncan's sessions started so I opted not to hang back. Hopefully there are more available tomorrow.

    Will vSphere 6 be announced at VM World?

    I had heard that once, then heard otherwise so I've been trying to get a good answer. Duncan has a post up saying that it does work with PCIe? http://www.yellow-bricks.com/2013/08/26/introduction-to-vsphere-flash-read-cache-aka-vflash/

    Will vSphere 6 be announced at VM World?

    Solid wrap-up... Hated knowing SSO was being fixed yet being forced to to 15 5.1 upgrades last month. The RSA iteration is almost as embarrassing as vRAM.... well, slight exaggeration. I haven't been able to get a solid answer this week, but will the flash read cache capabilities be...

    Will vSphere 6 be announced at VM World?

    Actually I just checked and it's off the site but it was there a month or two ago. So either way, even if they release vSphere 8000 today you'll still be fine for a few years.

    VMWorld 2013 roll call!

    Yeah, watching it from the big screens at the hotel. No time to make it to Moscone and back. Pretty excited though. Just got an amping speech from Jeff Casale, ready to get back to work honestly.

    VMWorld 2013 roll call!

    Whoa, that's free? First I've heard of it.

    Will vSphere 6 be announced at VM World?

    Yes, you'll be AOK. Hell, they still offer the VCP4 test don't they?

    VMWorld 2013 roll call!

    Extremely disgusted. The area by the convention center is okay but the immediate area around the Hilton friggen sucks. Over ran by hipsters and homeless. I had some guy as me for 37 cents then proceeded to yell a bunch of obscenities. Did get to briefly check out the solutions exchange stuff...

    VMWorld 2013 roll call!

    Should there be a call sign or bat signal for HF people? I honestly haven't planned one single evening activity for the whole event, will probably just wing it.
