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

Ahh Yes! VMworld is fast approaching. VMware finally opened access to the session builder today. It was much anticipated as you can see from some of the frustration comments coming from VM Enthusiasts anxious to get their schedule built.
I registered for some great sessions and was lucky enough to also get the labs I wanted. As of now, below are some of the sessions I will be attending. This may change up before VMworld as I revisit the schedule and sessions.
