We are really excited about our DemoCloud and wanted to share some background information on it and more important encourage you to come and visit us at the VMworld Booth.
 Some perspective on our DemoCloud “Demo Cloud Activate” – Captain Kirk had it right……..using computers should be this easy. We needed a stable environment where I can quickly and easily provision a pre configured, ready to go stack! We chose to go with the vSEL project headed up by our very own Sir Ford Donald – Super Architect and great friend. vSEL is our internal platform that hosts infrastructure for our worldwide sales force. A huge benefit of using vSEL is that it provided everything for us, View, Storage, Security in a an encapsulated ready to go “bubble” It would have taken months for our teams to build this infrastructure from scratch. The best part of vSEL is that uses our latest products launched – vCloud Director 1.5, vSphere 5.0, and vShield. If you are planning on going to VMworld be sure to check out Ford Donald’s session on vSEL. One of my favorite features / capability of vSEL is the ability to share final “Gold Master” copies of our demos with our worldwide sales force. Sharing content is pretty easy to do.. 2 clicks and there you go.  Running our Demos from Wanatche, Washington USA The Demo Cloud is hosted in Wanatche Washington and it is pretty incredible to have our demos truly hosted in our remote data center. Take a look at our network stats from Palo Alto to Copenhagen.  A picture really does say a lot about our Demo Cloud. It truly has changed the way we do business.  A few lessons learned as a Business Owner managing Demo Cloud. 1. Create a central knowledge base so your developers can get answers to FAQs, Documents, Wikis and pointers to other sites – we used a Private VMTN Community – Jive has been a great platform for us. 2. Establish an SLA process, people, and agreement on scope of resource you will provide for your developers. Always set expectations accordingly and over deliver. 3. Have a robust flexible ticketing system for issues that need to be tracked – we our internal ticketing system – Helpzilla. It really beats using an email list 4. Reporting – We created our reports using APIs is will give us more flexibility – and are using Chargeback to collect data. 5. Set a process and criteria for releasing vApps into the wild. The last thing our field needs is a vApp that has no documentation, not usable or supported by the creator. We set up an internal Demo Library where we only allow blessed, supported content. It makes it easy to centralize and point people to it. 6. Be sure to remind everyone how much time, money you have saved by deploying your services using your DemoCloud.

It's Time to Rethink IT Management

The past few months have been very exciting at VMware. In July, we launched vSphere 5 and the industry's first cloud infrastructure suite. At VMworld in August, we unveiled our vision and products to liberate and support end-users in the Post-PC era. And today during the opening keynote of VMworld Europe (where we have more than 7000 registered attendees!) we are adding to the fun. We are announcing three new product suites that deliver a new approach to IT management – an approach that is specifically targeted at the “cloud era.” As Paul Maritz pointed out in his August VMworld keynote, we’re now in a world where more than 50% of the total server workloads worldwide are virtualized. Amazing! Virtualization is really an on-ramp to cloud computing, enabling more and more enterprises to enter the cloud era. This has profound implications, impacting every facet of the IT landscape. For example, by separating applications from the hardware they run on, virtualization enables consolidation and mobility. However, many existing management tools and processes weren’t designed with this in mind. The cloud also requires changes to how IT is delivered, evolving to a model of instant, self-service access to elastic capacity. And finally, the cloud introduces a new dimension of choice (the enterprise datacenter is no longer the single source) that is changing the role of the CIO from IT provider to service broker. I like to call this the “builder to broker” transition. All of these changes are very powerful, and they have profound impact in terms of what it means to manage IT. It’s time for an IT management rethink, and we believe that a new approach represents the next important step in the journey to the cloud. Done properly, this new approach should help enterprises move even more of their applications into the cloud and amplify the value they get from them being there. We feel this is so critical that we now have the majority of our engineers focused on developing management-related innovations across all of our product lines. So, what is unique about VMware’s approach to management? First, we believe the platform needs to shoulder much more of the management burden, embedding and automating as many capabilities as it can. This has been a guiding principle for many of the innovations in VMware vSphere – vMotion, DRS, HA and FT – and we will continue our quest to move this forward. We’re also constantly looking at manual interactions with vSphere and trying to get rid of as many as possible. We want to automate everything in sight as this is the only way customers will be able to achieve the efficiency and economics of cloud computing. Next, we believe the days of managing silos – of machines, of application stacks and of discrete disciplines – are over. It is time to converge these disciplines, streamline and remove steps to create more agile, shared processes. This phenomenon is well recognized in the application delivery space as “DevOps”. We think there’s also key convergence in a new discipline of “CloudOps”. Finally, cloud management must support high-velocity, dynamic environments. The pace and scale of today’s IT demands require teams have visibility and control, but more importantly, they need the ability to focus on what really matters. There’s simply too much data out there. We are focused on how to best filter this information, bringing the key facts to the appropriate team’s attention. This applies at all levels, from the server and storage administrators to the CIO and CFO. The new product suites we are introducing today apply these foundational principles to simplify how customers manage infrastructure, applications and the business of IT in the cloud world:
These new management suites have been under development for multiple years now, and our entire company is thrilled to launch them today. If we can crack the code on how to operate and manage IT in the cloud era, we will open the door to a new world of amazing achievements. And while it’s not quite the “World Peace” I alluded to in the keynote, IT as a Service will be pretty good, too. :-) If you want to learn more about the suites we are introducing today, you can dive deeper at: http://www.vmware.com/go/management-experience

VMware vCenter Update Manager (also known as VUM) provides a patch management framework for VMware vSphere. IT administrators can use it to patch and upgrade ESX/ESXi hosts, upgrade VMware Tools and virtual hardware for virtual machines, as well as upgrade virtual appliances. A white paper that examines the performance of VUM is available. This paper includes some interesting information, including:

After a great experience running live TV shows from the VMworld Community Lounge, we will open up the VMware Community TV to our friends in Copenhagen as well.
I have just set up the schedule page at vmware.com/go/vmworld-community-tv
Every day of the show, we will be broadcasting from 10:30 to 16:00 on a live streaming channel at livestream.com/vmwarecommunitytv.
Just like in Vegas, we will have a video streaming station set up which you can book and use to broadcast your session live on VMware Community TV.
If you are interested in doing a live podcast using our setup, you can book a slot, and use it to interview guests, offer some commentary, or a live technology demonstration.
If you would like to use our audio and video equipment to record your content for offline use, you can book that as well outside of VMware Community TV hours, on a first-come, first-served availability basis.
When requesting a slot in our streaming station, please let us know what topics you plan to cover and whether you will have any guests during your show. Since we are at VMworld, the topics should be related -- cloud, virtualization, VMUGs, vExpert talks, or other VMware-related areas.
Each segments should be 20-30 minutes long and start on the half-hour. The podcasting station is self-serve, but we will have some technical assistance available.
If the schedule becomes oversubscribed, John and I will give Community content first priority in scheduling, but exhbitiors with community-oriented topics are also encouraged to book a slot.
We will do our best to accommodate your schedule, but can't guarantee that we can give you the time slot you want. To help us with that, please submit several time slot suggestions or ranges to pick from.
Approximate broadcast times: Monday-Thurs 10:30-2:30.
