News and insights from the vibrant world of virtualization and cloud computing
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.

If you have a virtualization success story you would like to share, VMware issued a call for presentations today for the upcoming VMworld 2008.
“Most VMworld attendees have some experience with virtualization and they are eager for insights that go beyond the consolidation of non-mission critical workloads. Are you using virtual machines to build a better disaster recovery solution? Have you virtualized a critical enterprise system? Have you found a creative solution how to charge back business users for virtual machine usage? Have you developed a process for planning VM capacity? Tell your peers about it!
Session proposals should provide an in-depth explanation of the technology and business challenges you have resolved, as well as a description of your architecture – hardware, software and networking setup of your solution. Advice, key success factors, data points and lessons learned while solving technical, organizational and process challenges related to virtualization deployment are always appreciated by your peers.”
If selected to present, you’ll receive a full conference pass for four days, access to all VMworld sessions and hands-on labs, and hotel accommodations for one night.
As pointed out by VMblog, the VMworld Session & Labs are now online. You can check out a pile of videos & presentation slides as a nice addition to our own video coverage of VMworld.
At this year’s VMworld Europe in Cannes (France), Virtualization.com went wild and recorded dozens of videos featuring marketing, technical & product managers, executives, company founders and analysts from the virtualization industry. To recap of what our insomniac bloggers Tarry Singh and Nicolas ‘ Charbax‘ Charbonnier have been up to in Cannes, we’ve made a dedicated page with an overview of all the video interviews and booth tours.
