Inside the Facebook Datacenter
This is one of the more interesting videos I’ve seen lately. It’s a short 2 minute 30 second clip that shows the inside of the Facebook datacenter but more importantly talks about the tasks they’re up against like having to store 2,000 photos a second or 40 billion a month. All that with a handful of engineers. It’s pretty incredible actually. Enjoy the video.
Listen to Me on the Road
I just updated my blog with Odiogo - a new service that transcodes all of my blog posts into audio feeds. So, if you don’t have time to read me on-line then you can subscribe to my audio feed in the right hand column and listen to me on the go. I’m sure I’ll entertain you on your way to work. Disclaimer: Not responsible for being so boring and dry that you fall asleep at the wheel and drive off th
Mobile Phone Virtualization with VMware - Demo
I worked several hours at the VMware booth and the Genius Bar at VMworld Europe the whole time staring at this huge cell phone showing off the new VMware Mobile Virtualization Platform (MVP). The VMware team was on hand showing off the new software at the show. Below is a demo. This technology will have a huge impact on client virtualization and go a long way towards anywhere, anytime, anything (A
VI Java API 2.0 Beta released
As many of you know I just can’t keep my hands out of the different API sets that VMware offers. From Powershell to VIX to Java it’s all there. The product set is incredibly extensible. I was getting back up to speed on our Java API and found out that the new API set was just released as beta. For those of you in love with Java you’ll be happy to know you don’t need AXIS anymore (it was a royal pa
How VMware Writes I/O to Disk
A couple of weeks ago I posted about SQL Server running in a VM and how disk writes were assured to happen in contradiction to a poorly written article on SQL Solutions. After working with VMware Engineering there’s now a KB article that talks about how and when I/O writes happen with different VMware products. Below is the full text of the KB article. You can also find the source here. IO crash c
VMware Named Best Cloud Platform and Best Overall Cloud Product
Starting January 1 this year I moved over to focus on cloud computing and datacenter of the future activities on a global basis here at VMware. There’s a ton of activities going on in the IT world around cloud computing so it’s been a steep ramp to climb in order to get my head around what everyone is doing. I’ll be writing a lot more about cloud, what VMware is doing, and what standards the indus

The move is targeted to allow partners to more easily share advances in hosted desktop clients based on the most pervasive hosted desktop system out there - VMware View.

VMware Continues on the SVVP Certification Track
Eight new ESX configurations have been approved by Microsoft for support under the Server Virtualization Validation Program (SVVP). The new configs allow up to 64 GB memory in any virtual machine. This is an increase from the previous 4 GB limit, and will be useful to customers deploying Exchange Server, SQL Server, or any memory-intensive application. All future SVVP configs will be listed at our
Using Perfmon in a Windows VM
This post is sponsored by IT Knowledge Exchange. Visit ITKnowledgeExchange.com today to ask your toughest virtualization questions and get answers from your peers. I got a question from a customer as well as a partner recently about whether or not they should use Perfmon in a Windows VM. I emailed our internal performance team to make sure that my answer of “no - it could give you bad results” was
Wake Up Your Mac Faster
OK. Not exactly related to virtualization but I thought I’d share this anyways. I am always on the move and I’m usually bringing my Mac with me. One of my favorite things about the Mac is that I can really just close the lid and walk to a meeting and open the lid and it’s ready to work instantly. That’s just incredible to me. Sure, a PC can sleep and even hibernate but neither makes the thing come
