  • vForum London

    So I had the pleasure of attending the VMware vForum event at Wembley Stadium yesterday. One of the surprise finds at the event was the Condusiv Technologies stand down in the Solutions Exchange.

    Now I didn’t realise it but Condusiv Technologies are a company I have had experience of before, for those of you familiar with Diskeeper you will remember the name Executive Software, well at some point Executive Software rebranded themselves as Condusiv Technologies.

    For the most part Condusiv were there demonstrating their new V-locity software, the benefits of which are said to be :-

    • Increase application performance by 50%
    • Reduce latency by 50% for faster file access
    • Eliminate bottlenecks without expensive hardware
    • True "set and forget" management

    From what I saw of the demonstration I was very impressed with the potential of V-locity and I have asked Condusiv for an NFR license to do some home testing on my home lab, hopefully a license will be winging it’s way over to me soon so that I can run some tests on my various NAS devices here (both pre and post software install).

    In was good catching up with old friends from various different companies (VMware, EMC\MTI, GlobalKnowledge) as well as catching up with some of my fellow #LonVMUG’ers and I was also glad to see at least one other person wearing his CloudCreds t-shirt with pride Smile

    This was my first vForum event and I must say it was well presented with just the right amount of detail, the solutions exchange area was full of different vendors and the food\drink provided was top notch.

    Over all I was impressed and will be attending next years event as well.

    Thank you VMware.

  • It’s #LonVMUG Time Again

    It’s only a couple of days before the first #LonVMUG of 2012 and I thought I would post up the agenda for it.

    The #LonVMUG is being held on Thursday 26th of January from 10:00 – 17:15 at The London Chamber of Commerce and Industry, 33 Queen Street, London, EC4R 1AP

    If you haven’t managed to attend any VMUG’s I would definitely recommend that you do because it’s a great way to network with like minded peers and attend some very well delivered presentations.

    If you’re coming to the #LonVMUG on Thursday pop over and say hello
