I’ve got a series of blog posts lined up in the giving spirit of the holiday season (which commercially started the moment Halloween ends – in the US they start with Thanksgiving, rest of world starts ramping up the advertising for Christmas and the other many Nov/Dec holidays).
I’ll give away the punchline now – here are the four gift blog posts:
- UBERAlign from Nick Weaver – a CRAZY awesome tool that everyone VMware Admin should have in the kitbag going fwd – regardless of whether you use EMC storage or not – the rest Nick – thank you!
- Recordings of many VMworld sessions – and fixes to broken FTP links to the core FTP content – sorry this has taken so long, but have been a busy, busy little beaver on many things – mostly 2012 planning.
- SRM Survey – have a chance to influence SRM roadmaps – how cool is that?
- Huge (literally huge!!) “Santa Chad” giveaway contest. There will be more Iomega devices, more iPads, more VNXe 3300’s than we’ve done in any other giveaway… Stay tuned for details – will post details early next week.
So – without further ado, a little more on #2, recordings of VMworld sessions (and downloadable content).
SPO3977: Next Generation Backup and Storage
You can download the presentation at the link below:
BPO2479: Disaster Avoidance and Disaster Recovery
You can download it here (BTW – this is the updated VMworld 2011 Copenhagen content that talks about vMSC)
EUC2846: View Enterprise Architecture Design and Implementation
BCA1931: Design, Deploy, and Optimize SharePoint 2010 on VMware
BCA2320: Oracle and vSphere Best Practices
You can download the presentation used at the link below. I would consider this a MUST have for anyone considering Oracle and vSphere (from all angles – tech, licensing, support, etc)
CIM2343: How NYSE build their Financial Services Community Cloud
Enjoy!

Chad, the presentations for SPO3977 and BPO2479 are on a password protected site and can't be reached. Greeting, Michael

This type of contact is invaluable to people like me who don't get the opportunity to attend VMworld. Thanks!
