June “HOWTO” VMware/EMC Webcast series

Trying to continue the effort to make Webcasts useful, technical, and marketing free – June is “HOWTO” month.  HOWTOs are detailed step-by-step instructions/whitepapers/videos on how to make something work.

Remember – the EMC/VMware webcasts are at the same time, same day – every week.   Thursday at 8am PT/11am ET/15:00 GMT.

June has a lot of goodness.  Click on the picture below to register for one or all.

• June 7:  EMC/VSI (Virtual Storage Integrator) – our vCenter plugin, and something everyone should use.   It’s a great tool, always updating (lots of people still don’t know about the delegated controls and performance reports), and free.   Simon Seagrave is the presenter (vSpecialist on the technical enablment team), and a great guy!
• June 14: Application Availability (SRM and EMC) – I have yet to encounter a customer who’s not happy with SRM.  Perfect?  No (I still hear that the re-IPing is less than perfect when you have large scale) – but I hear great feedback.  lots new here in the latest SRM rev, and new use cases too (SRM **with** stretched vSphere clusters).   Presenters are Ed Walsh (vSpecialist extraordinaire from the northeastern part of the US) and Ken Werneburg from VMware.
• June 21:  Using tools to make application-integrated replicas in the VMware context, including (in the Exchange case) simple and easy mailbox level recovery.   Rick is a webcast veteran – and recently moved into the product team that does this at EMC (Replication Manager and AppSync)
• June 28: “Chad’s Choice” – A little out of the “HOWTO” list, but I’m thinking of making this month’s session a EMC World 2012 summary + VMworld 2012 preview (though I might be a bit premature).   Thoughts?
