I will be speaking at the New England VMware Users Group (NEVMUG) on Thursday, July 19th, 2012. The session is titled “Virtualization 101” and is a great introduction to virtual technology. Here is the session description:

Mastering the principals of virtualization is the foundation of a
trouble-free environment. Whether you are just starting out or an
seasoned veteran, Dan Mitchell, VMware vExpert and author of
VMware vSphere for Dummies, will reinforce what it takes to build
a rock solid environment. He will take you through the basics of
installation and networking to the best practices of configuring a
Virtual Machine.

Project Octopus Beta

by

May 3, 2012

I’ve been using Octopus for months internally already as I already discussed in my enterprise social collaboration post and I think it is an awesome tool! I would recommend everyone who is interested in an enterprise level file sharing solution, not unlike dropbox, to sign up for the beta as Octopus is the way to go!

Project Octopus is the successful marriage of Zimbra and Mozy technologies, with some additional code jointly developed by the two teams. Prior to GA release, it will be folded into Horizon, providing a centralized policy and entitlement engine that will broker user access to applications, virtual desktops and data resources. The result will be a simple, seamless end-user experience when accessing work resources across private and public clouds on whatever device the user chooses.

The beta is open to all and will last through VMworld. Due to limited support resources, priority will be placed on customers with active engagements.

“Project Octopus Beta” originally appeared on Yellow-Bricks.com. Follow us on Twitter and Facebook.

I received an email this morning that started like so:

Dear Dan Mitchell,
We’re pleased to designate you as a vExpert 2011 as recognition of your contributions to the VMware, virtualization, and cloud computing communities. You’ve done work above and beyond, and we’re delighted to

communicate more closely, to share resources, and to offer other opportunities for greater interaction throughout the year as we continue to grow
