EMCWorld 2010 : A Week to Remember

vSpecialists_EMC_World_2010_closeup_small

Even though EMCWorld has been over for a few weeks I still wanted I get this post out telling my experience. I have been so busy that I just now got this finished.

I have not had a very long career. In fact compared to most of the guys on the team I belong to, I am the newborn calf quivering on shaky legs. But, I can say that I have had a pretty exciting one so far. I have never been short on challenges and deadlines. And I have always been surrounded by incredibly skilled people (especially now). That said, without a doubt, EMCWorld 2010 was the pinnacle of my career so far.

I really do not know how to recap everything. In some parts I am going to feel like I am bragging (which I hate to do). In others, that I am taking credit for [...]

Besser UBER : Celerra VSA UBER v2

What is better than UBER?

UBER version 2.

It has only been 19 days since the original release of the Celerra VSA UBER edition for the masses. The response has been overwhelming and encouraging. And out of that appreciation I am excited to present the Celerra VSA UBER V2 (version 2).

If you are not familiar with the original feature list with the first UBER version, then go here first.

Harder Better Faster Stronger

**** Go here for new version of UBER VSA ****

Have you tried the EMC Celerra VSA before? If so, then forget everything you experienced. If not, then welcome and let me introduce you to easiest way to test enterprise-level features with NAS and virtualization.

I won’t go through the history or the advantages of the Celerra VSA because Chad Sakac does a much better job here, and here.

I am a greenhorn at the EMC vSpecialist team. I have just barely three notches on my belt (if notches represent months). So everything is new to me. I am constantly bothering my direct manager with questions like: “Why do we do that?” or “How did this come about?”. This is because I am looking at everything and trying to understand the why behind it all. And this is part [...]

vSphere Mini Monitor : Now With More Cowbell!

VMM Channels

The purpose of the vSphere Mini Monitor is to provide a simple extension of the vSphere Web SDK to allow for real-time alerting of important user-based events on your vCenter server. It is not meant to replace a holistic monitoring platform. I wrote it to be secure, multithreaded, and lightweight. It is simply a cool geeky tool. [...]

Change is good : Fear & Atmosphere

Parachute

This post is a big deal for me personally. It is the first public acknowledgment of a major change in my life. This blog post will be about me announcing this change; but it will also be about why I am doing it and what lessons I feel can be learned. [...]
