I first met Mike at the Indy VMUG – we chat about the regional event I attend (and the massage you could get) and we also talk about his recent deployment of FlexPod…

In this miniwag I chat to John Troyer, VMware Social Media guy… We chat about VMworld’s past and present, and how the VMware Community has evolved over the years.

Lee Dilworth is one of my main contact points for SRM in the UK – and reviewed all the SRM books to date. In this miniwag we chat about the new vSphere Replication feature…

This miniwag is Steve Beaver. He’s a bit of legend in the VMware Community and one of old hands on the VMware Forums… We talk about the company he’s work with current which does network analyse who are getting into virtualization – and we talk about how much VMworld has changed since the early days.

This year I’m hanging out at the bloggers lounge doing mini-chinwags with folks who stop by and say hi. This one is with Tom Howarth, we talk about whether ESXi is “ready” for secure environments, vCenter on Linux…
