Was chatting to the Company Director today about VMware and going on a VSphere course would make Craigie a happy chappy.

He has given the green light for it!

So I might change my goals for this year

nice
get him to green light a trip to Partner Exchange (are you a partner?)
A Week in Vegas FTW! :P

 

You git!

We're not migrating for ages yet - it's not even on my 2K10 'roadmap' - although a sodding Exchange upgrade is - so I've got no chance of doing the course this year. My training budget has already been earmarked anyway - I'm finally doing my CCNP - so I might actually be doing some studying this year for the first time in yonks!

Had a vSphere test lab set up for a while, and am migrating my home environment in the next few weeks, so I'll hve a good tinker with it. I'm excited about the potential of distributed vSwitches - not so much about host profiles (since no other f***er touches my hosts at work except my US equivalent - who's even more of an anal nerd than I am).

 

LOL - DaemonTools & iso images ftw!

 

yup i carry a 500gb drive with me always, has most of MSDN mirrored and all the VMWare latest images, a few linux distros and specialty isos, ive done entire greenfield site deployments from that HDD

 

I haven't actually used VMware vSphere or ESX yet as most of our clients are SMB's, so tonnes of the usual mix.

However, we are do use it in our own hosting centre and for our clients offline backups.

We also have one of our larger clients who is planning (if they can get the budget) to condense there 30 production servers onto vSphere.

It's one of those subject areas that has always intrigued me, and I didn't really think I would have the opportunity to do the course.

One of the reasons I brought the ML115 was to start playing around with ESXi, got to get Exchange 2007 and then my MCSE upgrade out of the way first

 

We would be going virtual this year as we're moving to a new location and all servers would be virtualised. I have also been told would be going on a VMWare course sometime this year two. Yeah! it's all well so far.

 

Congrats Craigie, I'll be going on a vshpere course soon as well the minute we hire a desktop support guy...
