EMC World NDA breakout on VNX and vVol

We are interested in getting customer feedback on our vVol implementation and would like to invite a couple of joint VNX-VMware customers that can invited to NDA sessions.  If you are a customers that are highly virtualized (VMware) or interested in vVols, please let me know (comment below, or email me at chad dot sakac at emc dot com).

This will be presented by the engineering and product management team, so will be a solid session.  NDA required (can be done on site).

Session Details:

VNX Family For Virtualized Environments: New Features, Best Practices & Future Directions

Learn why SMB and enterprise customers rank EMC’s VNX family as the best storage for virtualized environments. This session discusses our new virtualization features, best practices, and solutions. We will also review new technologies EMC and VMware are jointly working on that will change the way customers think about storage provisioning and operational models. This session also discusses the benefits of Virtual Volumes (VVols) in the datacenter, the salient differences in the way storage services can be represented, and policy based storage provisioning methods.

I'm not a customer, but we're partners with both EMC and VMware, and I'm definitely interested in vVols if you've got room for one more in the session...

Chad,

We recently deployed a VNX5800 and VVols is something I'm interested in hearing more of.

Hi Chad,

I'll be at EMC World, I'd like to attend the vVol NDA session(s).

We started out last year with (2) VNX 5300's and since then we've purchased another (3) 7600's. We are about 92% virtualized using VMware, about 1100 VMs many of which are SQL servers. We're using AppSync and Recoverpoint on all VNX. The MCx VNX's are all thin and doing very well.

I'm very interested in how you & VMware guys are going to help get around the limitations imposed by # of LUNs per host, Luns per target, # of targets, Thin reclaim, etc. BTW, we are a large (very large) iSCSI shop on 10Gb.

Thanks,

Ben

Hi Chad,VMware is still spelled VMware, not VMWare, naughty boy ;-)
"If you are a customers that are highly virtualized (VMWare) "
