I hope everyone in the United States had a fun and safe 4th of July weekend! In honor of this American holiday, wanted to share some photos I took of my local fireworks this weekend (click through to view them all). Now on to the roundup of links that I’ve collected over the past few weeks based upon customer interactions, online discussions, and stuff that caught my eye:
VMware Specific Links
- Meet the Engineer – Feature Videos on VMware Communities
- VMware I/O queues, “micro-bursting”, and multipathing (deep storage discussion from Chad Sakac)
- VMware Furthers Collaboration with HP through OEM Agreement and Co-Development Plans to Deliver New Solutions for Datacenter and Application Management
- vShield Zones Overview (from a vExpert)
- And the winners of the VMware top blog are… (from vSphere-Land reader survey)
- VMotion between Data Centers—a VMware and Cisco Proof of Concept
- HP has integrated VMware ThinApp with the HP Client Automation policy-based management platform
- vSphere Virtual Machine Upgrade Process (from Scott Lowe)
- Scalable Storage Performance with VMware ESX Server 3.5 (oldie, but still valuable and relevant based upon conversations I’ve had last week…)
- Using HP RGS with VMware View 3.1 (while not officially supported by VMware, I know a few people who will try this anyway…)
- ESXi Builder 1.4 and other utility scripts (Configure ESXi from Factory Settings) – Seen an increase interest in ESXi lately (rightfully so since this is the future direction of the ESX installation form factor). This utility script helps to implement ESXi configuration following power on of a server with an ESXi USB key installed.
