Dallas VMware User Group (VMUG) – Update 3Q 2008

I recently attended the Dallas / Fort Worth Area VMware User Group (DFW VMUG) meeting. We had an amazing turnout of 75+ attendees. Dell presented their storage array technology and how it integrates into VMware’s Site Recovery Manager (SRM). VMSight presented their performance management and reporting software for VDI. DFW VMUG President Tony Gradig covered what he learned at VMworld 2008 and offered some great VMware how-to tips. VMware engineers were on hand to answer questions. And finally, the VMUG was nice enough to have me speak about my Train Signal VMware ESX Server video training series, allowing me to show a video, offer some training videos as door prizes, and allowed me to offer a discount to all VMUG members.

I snapped the photos below of the meeting. I want to give a big thanks to Tony for planning the meeting, being the emcee, and for providing the excellent meeting room at his company’s HQ. (don’t tell anyone but we even had free pizza)

I look forward to the next DFW VMware User Group Meeting! To stay up to date on upcoming meetings, monitor the DFW VMUG VMware Community Forum.
