Popsicle Stick Video: Free VMware Tools Session – VMworld Europe 2011

David Davis — Wed, 19 Oct 2011 19:44:03 +0000

Today, vKernel posted a flattering (I think) video showing what the Kendrick Coleman and David Davis Best Free vSphere Tools for 2011 presentation might have looked like at VMworld Europe 2011 if we had been selected to speak. While we had a huge turnout of around 1000 in Vegas this year, sadly, we weren’t asked to speak at VMworld Europe due to the reduced footprint of the show.

In this video, not only do you get to see what the session might have looked like but you learn about the upcoming free tool from vKernel called vSCOPE (available October 26, 2011 from www.vKernel.com). Thanks to Alex at vKernel for this funny idea and for posting this video!

I am still amazed that Kenny is already HAS his VCP7 and has starting preparing for his LOL !

Actually, Kenny and I will be giving our free tools presentation again, LIVE, next week – register here to attend!

VIDEO: Interview of Alex Rosemblat of vKernel at #PEX2011 by @davidmdavis

At VMware Partner Exchange 2011 (PEX) I had the pleasure of interviewing Alex Rosemblat of vKernel. In the video, Alex told me about vKernel’s main product – Capacity Management Suite (CMS). He explained the problems that VMware Admins face on a daily basis related to monitoring and understanding capacity then explained how CMS can help resolve those pain points.

I agree with Alex that capacity management is always going to be an issue that VMware Admins need to maintain and understand and vSphere, out of the box, doesn’t do as good of a job with that as I would like. I have tried CMS before and was impressed with what it offered in the way of performance and capacity analysis as well as how quickly it did it. CMS is offered as a virtual appliance and that like that as it makes installation quick and easy.You can download a 30 day free trial of CMS here.

I have talked about vKernel before, primarily because of their HUGE selection of free vSphere tools.

Enjoy the video!
