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!

First up (since they responded first) – Veeam (Team Green) is showing off version 6 of their Backup/Replication tool but follow the link at the end for the entire VMworld activities ($6K giveaway) – Link

Next we have Quest Software (Server Virtualization/Management) who has about three or four ways to win some money and several sessions they would like you to attend – Link for details. For a listing of recent product announcements go here.

Of course the VMUG organization will be there and would like for you to see them and save some money on your VMUG Advantage subscription – Go here for details.  You must be registered with myvmug.org to see the page.
