London VMUG, May 17th – Win a VMworld 2011 Bag from me.

Would you like to win a brand new VMworld 2011 backpack? (of course you would) :)

If the answer is ‘Yes’ then come and attend my session at this weeks London VMware User Group meeting, it’s just around the corner and there’s still time to book your place. The agenda is available online here and you’re able to register your place too. The line up of presentations and guest speakers makes a full on day of information overload additional to the networking opportunities.

So, I’ll be hosting a session where you, the audience, will collectively contribute to help design the utopian solution for a Highly Available application I’ve thought up. To encourage contributions every participant will have their name noted and entered for a draw to win the bag. Simple. I may well bring other items to ‘encourage’ voices from the floor.

As well as myself from Xtravirt some of my esteemed colleagues will be in attendance, you’ll be able to spot us as we’ll all be wearing these (insert cough) lovely t-shirts.

Keep Calm and Virtualise

Xtravirt T-shirt

Come and say hello to us and learn more about Xtravirt and speak to Paul Davey, one of the co-founders of Xtravirt, he’s a damn interesting chap.

I look forward to seeing you there.

Do you have a VDI / EUC pilot’s license?

Listening to an EUC presentation earlier today the VDI slides appear. Many facts and figures including discussions on VDI use cases and success stories are presented, great. Now, either I’m missing something but VDI and EUC aren’t the same solution. It’s my belief you should clearly separate the propositions and vendors shouldn’t attempt to muddy the cross-over. This type of implication runs in parallel with the idea that “anyone can fly an aeroplane”.

Data centre desktop hosting whether internally provided or via a (insert the C word) Cloud provider delivers legacy operating systems and incumbent administration applications to set of thin clients.

End user computing challenges the presentation of desktop computing and attempts to remove the device dependency. Data presentation and availability shouldn’t be dependent on the host device operating system hence End User Computing not Virtual Desktop Infrastructure.

There is a difference.

So if a vendor suggests their solution can do it all check for their pilot’s license before getting onboard.
