VMworld 2009 Keynote Day 2
Filed Under Uncategorized | Leave a Comment
Herrod is immediately covering the desktop space and VMware View.
Covering the PC Experience Over the Network (PCOIP). PCOIP will ship with a software only protocol but will have a hardware acceleration option. PCOIP will ship this year!
Herrod is touching on Hosted Virtualization for “Employee-Owned IT”. Basically, the concept of BYOC – Bring Your Own Computer.
Also discussing a Bare-Metal Virtualization for “Corporate-Owned IT”. I’m really digging the bare-metal virtualization that will be happening on laptops.
- No host lesss management and patching
- 3D graphics and local performance
Demo: On the Client Virtualization Platform
I’m very impressed with the full motion video and 3D Graphics from the user experience.
Now performing demo from a home PC to a View session demonstrating the user pc experience.
***Moving to demo on connecting to a View desktop from an iPhone using the WYSE pocket cloud. Very cool!!

I’ve had a very busy VMworld so far dedicating time to networking and sessions. This evening I also had a full schedule on happy hour and parties. I started of the evening at the Thirsty Bear where the south central teams for VMware, Cisco, Intel, and Iland hosted the event. Later, I attended the WYSE party at the OLD MINT where there was great food, wine, and live performance. Check out my video from the OLD MINT.

For anyone that is at VMworld you have heard of the datacenter that has been put together to support VMworld operations and labs.
For those that are not aware, there is a total of 512 Cisco UCS blades utilizing a unified fabric of Cisco MDS and Nexus 7000 gear including literally tons of storage from EMC and NetApp. Capable of taking on tens of thousands of VM’s and many many terabytes of storage.
37,248 Virtual machines on 776 Physical Servers
Cut power from 25Megawatts to 540 Kilowatts by virtualizing
Here is a short take of the implementation..

I took a video snippet of the Blogger table this morning for the VMworld keynote session.
I’ve never seen so many instances of tweetdeck running across laptops. It was great to meet everyone in the virtualization blogging community.
