Super Session Date – March 2nd 2012

Registration Link to MyVMUG.org site

Nutanix, Wyse, Liquidware Labs, and the VMware View team are sponsoring a special meeting on the topic of VDI. It will focus on the two key components of a successful VDI deployment, the hardware and the software. The hardware to make the VDI responsive with the same rich experience as a local desktop and the software to mange all the little settings and tweaks every user does to make their Windows environment their own while still allowing administrators to use a single master OS image for users. So come out to the Triad VMUG’s first special sponsored meeting and find out how you can reduce you PC count, desktop management headache’s, and still provide users a great work experience.

VMworld 2011 Winners

Just wanted to give a shout out to a couple of past VMUG sponsors who took home the Tech Target gold for best of a category.  You can see the complete list here.

Category: Hardware for Virtualization

Winner: Arista Networks, Arista EOS with VM Tracer / Auto Segmentation
The VM Tracer links Arista switches to VMware’s vCenter and creates an infrastructure in which the network responds to changes in VMs, among other capabilities.

Category: New Technology

Winner: Veeam Software, Veeam Backup & Replication v6
Version 6 of Veeam’s popular tool provides image-based data protection that companies need for traditional file-based backups. It impressed the judges because it takes virtual data protection further.

 

Congratulations!

Do you want to be a sponsor?

So you want to sponsoring a VMUG meeting for this chapter and/or additional chapters.  The VMUG organization wants you to register and be included in the “local” sponsor database.  It is the hope that by compiling a listing of interested sponsors that the local VMUG leaders will have a single place to go to if they need to seek a sponsor.  This open registration seems like a great idea to generate larger listing which, having reviewed the past sponsor listings, was a problem.
