I just received in the mail from VMware a package with two brand-new super-cool posters inside. They sent me the new PowerCLI 5.0 poster and (one I have never seen before) the VMware ESXi 5 Reference poster. I created the video below to show you what they look like and say thanks to great people like @jtroyer and @heyitspablo.
I did find that you can download the new PowerCLI 5.0 poster and the VMware ESXi 5 Reference posters, here, at their [more]

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!
We’re back ! After a hugely successful presentations to hundreds of VMware Admins at VMworld 2010 and 2011, Kendrick Coleman (of VCE and www.KendrickColeman.com) and David Davis (that’s me, of TrainSignal and www.VMwareVideos.com) are back to give you an updated and encore presentation of our Best Free vSphere Tools for 2011 presentation – in LIVE WEBINAR format !
If you couldn’t make it to VMworld 2011 in Vegas (or were just too busy to attend this session) then this session is for you. This session WON’T be at VMworld Europe so this is your last chance to catch it this year!
If you happened to catch our session at VMworld, you would know that we don’t just show 10 tools, it’s probably closer to 30. We give credit where credit is due for all the members of the VMware Community that dedicate time and effort into producing all these free tools. This session appeals to every person who has an interest in vSphere. We will talk about some of the free tools that beginners and novices can use that are easy out-the-box solutions and we will discuss some of the tools that require a bit of CLI work that appeal to those experts out there. We scoured hidden corners of the web to bring you the greatest content available. So come one and all to see the “greatest webinar on earth”!
I can guarantee that you will come back armed with more knowledge than you expected because this isn’t a single product pitch, heck, it’s not a product pitch at all. This is a webinar focused on giving vSphere admins what they want, knowledge to overcome obstacles in every day situations.
Here are some of the responses we received from our session in Vegas at VMworld 2011:
“Best little gems, can’t wait to try them out!”
“Even better than last year, best session for the whole week”
“One of the best presentations I attended. Had actual usable content instead of a sales pitch.”
“One of the best sessions I attended”
This live webinar will take place on October 26, 2011 at two times in order to make the the entire world happy (well almost).
