From the monthly archives: May 2010
As we continue to build and grow our service provider business, we have been very lucky to have a great group of vendors to work with. Some of those vendors I would consider to be partners as well, and a select few of them have become trusted advisers. Because the infrastructure/software is just the enabler [...]
Continue Reading →Does anyone out there, especially if you are a service provider with a multi-tenant model, have any experiences with or feedback on your VMware VSPP experience? We have a proposal we are working through now, and I'd like to hear from anyone out there as to how you feel it works (or doesn't) for your [...]
Continue Reading →Ran into this a little while back, and wanted to make sure to share with the group.
We do a great job of keeping our vmkernel logs clean, so when we started seeing a bunch of spam in there we dug in to figure it [...]
Continue Reading →For those of you who haven't seen it yet, Chuck Hollis from EMC has started a(nother) blog, this one specifically about the SP business and how it relates to EMC. I couldn't be more excited. One of the reasons I started this was because of the lack of voices, and his is [...]
Continue Reading →This post was originally published on May 13th, 2010. I was forced to take it down less than 2 days later because my employer didn’t like how they were portrayed. This was one of the reasons I chose to leave the company less than 5 months later. It’s been over three years, so I’m going [...]
Continue Reading →My first EMC World conference was definitely a success, and since it's a little depressing to see the world's most efficient tear-down crew pull everything apart it's time to head out. I'd like to give a big thanks to everyone who helped make this a great event for me and for the executives I brought [...]
Continue Reading →So, I have to say that the coolest part of EMC World so far was the event I just left. A couple weeks ago I got an invitation to an "EMC Private Cloud Connection" meeting, with little additional information about the format or content. I accepted just out of curiosity, but man am I glad [...]
Continue Reading →I've spent the week at EMC World, and it's been an interesting event. It's my first EMC World, and I've been impressed with the technical level of the event. There has been a good contrast between the keynotes (10,000 ft. view), the breakout sessions (2,500 ft. view) and the private meetings (street level). EMC has [...]
Continue Reading →With all possible respect to Chad Sakac (and his post here) I'm still waiting for my VM teleporter. As a service provider, my customers aren't interested in moving VMs 65 miles, they are interested in moving them from one time-zone to another. They are interested in moving their VMs from one coast [...]
Continue Reading →This post was originally finished on May 4th, 2010. It was never posted, and I was never allowed to share the fact that this issue happened, or try to warn the community about it. This was one of the reasons I chose to leave the company less than 5 months later. It’s been over three [...]
