This weeks chinwag is with Kenny (Kendrick) Coleman. He’s IT pro and a vExpert working in the field of virtualization, and in his spare time – he’s a active blogger. I first came across Kenny via twitter. He’s a bit about Kenny from his blog:

“I’m Kenny Coleman (Kendrick is my full name), 27, and live in Louisville, KY. I started my career off as a windows system engineer after graduating from the University of Kentucky, which lead me wanting to get back into networking and landed me my first certification, CCNA. As as Cisco and systems engineer, it lead me into my new passion of virtualization. I’ve been heavily involved with virtualization for some time now and have both my VCP3 and VCP4 certifications. I’ve been honored by VMware with the vExpert award for my contributions to the VMware community and being a virtualization evangelist. I’m a swiss army knife when it comes to IT and I’m not a one-trick pony. I believe that’s what has made me so successful this far into my career. I love diving into new technologies, trying to be a bourbon connoisseur, halloween, and being around friends.”

In our chinwag I asked Kenny to pick is top 3 free tools for VMware (from a blogpost which listed 10)… He’s also written some articles about NIC and vSwitch layout – and so asked him to outline the criteria between each type of design… and how 10GbE would change things… finally we chatted about the upcoming VMworld and what he expected from the event…

As ever if you want the MP3 version of the chinwag it’s here – but to be honest it’s much easier to subscribe to the MP3 podcast via iTunes which means the podcast will be download when ever I do them. Alternatively, if you would prefer the videos on your iPAD/iPOD/iPhone – you subscribe to the video version of the Chinwags there (beware they are big!). If you don’t use iTunes, here’s the generic RSS Feed link
