I wanted to reach out to the various sponsors that I have for this years VMworld conference.
First I have to thank VMUG Leadership for arranging for all VMUG leaders and co-leaders to have the ability to get a pass for VMworld this year. If that’s not a reason to get involved I really don’t know what is. Goto www.vmug.com and signup for your local chapter. Get involved. Also while there look at the VMUG Advantage subscription. It saves you on Training and Certifications with VMware and provides access to pre-recorded training for some products.
Next I need to thank 2 companies for sponsoring my wife’s VMworld Guest Pass. Yes there is such a thing and yes some spouses do go to VMworld!
Zerto and RES Software have graciously sponsored my wife’s guest pass and have sent her shirts. She plans on “blinging” these out so that they aren’t so plain jane Techie shirts. If you see someone wearing a Zerto or a RESSoftware shirt with Rhinestones on it – thats my wife!
Thanks to both Steve Thomsen of www.Zerto.com and Mat Keenan of www.ressoftware.com for arranging this.
I’m looking forward to seeing the many vendors and others at VMworld this year. There should be some major announcements from VMware about new products/versions and acquisitions. Also there will be some discussion regarding the change in VMware leadership and what role Paul Maritz will play at EMC.
Most of all I am extremely excited that I will be defending my design for the VCDX certification. This has been a major goal for the last two years.
Again I do really want to thank those involved at RES Software and at Zerto.
