WP-vSphereStats : In the wild

I told myself I would post the first person in the wild that used my vSphere Stats WordPress plugin. And here is the first I found from Steve’s site: www.virtualizationandwaffles.com

Cool environment Steve!

Now I wonder who will have the biggest?

Show And Tell : First vSphere Plugin for WordPress!

Crazy

I can’t wait to see what crazy stuff you come up with next…

That was something Chad Sakac told me a few months ago. Back before my latest Celerra VSA version (get it here), or my UIM appliance (sorry that one is vSpecialists eyes only right now).

I really have not done anything off the wall recently. Most of my day to day effort is dedicated to absorbing the information fire-hose that my team deals out on a daily basis. I have a couple of side projects I have been wanting to catch up on but they are all to big to start at the moment.

And to be honest it has been getting to me. I like contributing to the vSphere community and it has been a while (in my head at least) since I released something for that [...]

Geek week : How to build an empire in 6 days

15 EMEA based vSpecialists, too much caffeine, the smell of last night’s pizza, and a seemingly impossible list of tasks to accomplish – that was Geek Week Q2 2010.

EMEA vSpecialists

As a vSpecialist at EMC, we attend a lab construction week as part of the on-boarding and initiation ritual. The instructions are simple: take this list of applications and infrastructure configurations, and work as a team to install and configure them all with the kit we provide to you before the week ends. There are multiple objectives for Geek Week, the main ones being; get the team working together, learn about integrating EMC, VMware, and Cisco technologies, and develop a good understanding of technologies that are not yet released, so we are best able to support our customers at product launch time.

Cisco Live 2010 : Things to do in Vegas

Eirc Hollis / Chris Horn

Eric Hollis & Chris Horn discussing VCE

Ok, if you are at Cisco Live 2010 and have any interest in the new Private Cloud innovations or in Virtualization, I have a who’s who of EMC vSpecialists onsite that you must meet.

1. We have in one location two of the masters of the VCE SST team. These guys eat, sleep, and breath Vblocks all day. Chris Horn, and Eric Hollis are the busiest vSpecialists and other than maybe Chad Sakac or Wade O’Harrow, have more face time with customers looking at private clouds than anyone. I highly recommend swinging by booth 1671 and asking to meet them. Tell them Nick (@lynxbat) sent you.

2. There are people who are in the know at EMC, and then there is Stephen Spellicy. This guy is involved in helping with product development, [...]

Cisco Live 2010 : It’s all about the Milk & Cookies

IMG_1292

Watching John Chambers, CEO of Cisco, give the keynote presentation today at Cisco Live 2010 I was struck by two important things:

The focus on changing the way the consumer / business users utilizes technology The strong emphasis on the demand for a new model for business operations.

Both of these appear on the surface to be great marketing statements. But, what makes these different is the timing with the evolution of technology today.

I think the value proposition of the video on every business/consumer device is obvious. I know the Cisco Cius brings the capability to change the way interactions occur and collaberation begins. But, what affected me most was a simple statement that Mr. Chambers made:

“Today, change starts from the consumer and moves to the datacenter”

It just clicked for me [...]
