Sharepoint and VMware…. The sheer volume….

As we get down to the wire with VMworld (I can’t believe I signed up for 5 sessions!), something came up I thought was funny (and useful enough to share).

The VMware team doing EA2526 - SharePoint vSphere Best Practices (Thursday at 1130 AM – 1:00 PM) reached out and asked if there were updated reference archictecture docs and test results since we did the same joint session in VMworld 2009 Europe. 

(personally – I think the EA tracks are some of the best – really good, really practical guidance on deploying mission critical apps on VMware)

So, I looked, and check out what comes from the filter: of “technical docs, covering Sharepoint and VMware, published after february”.

The solutions validation teams – my hat’s off to you – this shows the insane amount of work you’re doing.   If you’re a customer – there is great info to leverage.
