News and insights from the vibrant world of virtualization and cloud computing
Richard Garsthagen, Senior Evangelist for VMware in EMEA (see the interview we did with him at the last VMworld Europe), has announced in a blog post that VMworld Europe 2009 will again be held in Palais de Festivals in Cannes (the same pace of where the film festival is) from Feb 24 till 26.
The pre-registration page has already been opened up, in case you’re interested in enrolling quickly and getting regular updates about upcoming announcements.
Last Friday, VMware has officially opened up the registration process for the fifth edition of its annual VMworld conference. VMworld 2008 will be held September 15-18 at The Venetian in Las Vegas. If you’re still interested in submitting a paper for one of the sessions at the conference, you’d better be quick: the call for papers deadline ends next Friday.

Virtualization.info just announced what promises to be one of the most interesting virtualization events of the year: Virtualization Congress bills itself as the world’s first vendor independent virtualization event and will be held from 14 to 16 October at the ExCel centre in London.
From the about page:
It is not a secret that virtualization technologies are changing companies’ data centers. The immense popularity that these technologies are obtaining is equal only to the need for knowledge about them. And as we try to build that knowledge, virtualization is already changing. There are many new products each month, and hundreds of new features each year.
At virtualization.info, we have covered the market evolution for a long time. We know how fast the landscape is evolving, and how complex it can be keeping up the pace. Thus, we decided to shape an event with unique characteristics, different from the typical conference, which can bridge the gap between innovation and implementation in a more effective way.
Congratulations to Alessandro Perilli and watch out for extensive coverage on Virtualization.com!
Interesting article from ‘The Virtual Man’ Daniel Kusnetzky, President and Principal Analyst of Kusnetzky Group LLC and blogger at ZDNet. At a conference, he was asked by a group of attendees what he did for a living, and after a short explanation about his company he went on to explain virtualization technology.
Kusnetzky discussed the typical goals organizations have when they acquire and then deploy various types of virtualization technology, like:
Kusnetzky asks: “If you where put on the spot and asked to explain all of the different layers of technology and all of the different uses of virtualization, what would you say?”
Why don’t you go tell him? 🙂
