           -Where Virtualization is a Reality!

This year Olin (our SysAdm @ WTC) and I are at VMWorld...We arrived on Monday afternoon and got all checked into our hotel (Westin St. Francis) and registered at VMWorld. After a short and late lunch we participated in a VMware sponsored SMB Focus Group at One Market.

Due to a mutual NDA between ourselves and VMware, there's not a lot of specifics that I can go into. However, there are a couple points that I'd like to make:

1) VMware is trying very hard to figure out how to get into the SMB market. They're listening and, from what I can see, making pretty good progress in finding solutions that will fit.

2) VM User Group meetings should be more like this meeting. It was a round-table discussion with one person keeping us all on-topic. There were no vendors selling us their services or warez.. just a bunch of users talking about specific problems and solutions. The last few VMUG meetings I attended were useless. I can't complain too much, though, as I am not willing to put my hat in the ring to help out... plate's way too full.

I'll be posting again during/after the first general session.
