I’m working booth #710 at VMworld 2011 in Las Vegas this week! Here’s a map showing where we are located in relation to other vendors. I’ll be there at 5 PM tonight (August 29th) when the Expo Hall opens. See you there!

P.S. My friend Tommy Trogden (aka @vTexan) could use your votes as well! Details here.
Just a quick update from the floor at VMworld, the conference is in full swing and the attendance has been amazing. Over 17,000 registered according to the keynote yesterday.
The big news at the show for us is our announcement of the ServerIron ADX 4000 ASM-4 bundle. Think of it as a “stepping stone” between a fully-licensed ADX1000 (4 cores) and a significantly more expandable chassis-based system. It also gives customers with specific fiber connectivity needs more deployment flexibility, in case the 1000’s all-copper + two 10G ports won’t suffice.
We are demonstrating ADX in our booth, in conjunction with the Application Resource Broker, to show how we can provide automated, policy-based provisioning and de-provisioning of resources based on application performance metrics. Stop by and check it out, it’s very slick technology.
I’d also like to give a quick shout-out to Frank Iglesias of Radiant Systems, winner of the first drawing for Bose headphones from Brocade. We will be giving away a pair of headphones every day at the show, so be sure to enter! Hope to see you there.
Ready For VMworld 2010!
Aug 28
The excitement is in the air, it’s that time of year again — time for VMworld 2010 in San Francisco! I go to a lot of conferences, but I must confess that VMworld is one my favorites. (Second only to EMC World, or maybe a tie.) It’s a great place for technologists to gather, learn and share.
This will be a working conference for me, so I’ll be dividing my time between attending sessions and representing Brocade in booth #1307. We have a great location this year, conveniently located between the VMware booth and the Blogger’s Lounge! As you walk through the Solutions Exchange area, please be sure to stop by and say Hello. Foursquare is going to be a big part of the Social Media experience at VMworld this year, so be sure to “check-in” at our booth when you visit!
We have a lot of activity packed into our 10″ x 20″ space! Ken Newman (@KenNewman) will once again be our Master of Ceremonies, and he will have giveaways for everyone that attends his presentation. We will also have a daily raffle for a set of Bose 3 Noise Cancelling Headphones, as well as our Grand Prize drawing for the ever-popular Apple iPad. (I’d venture to guess that VMware has the highest iPad-to-attendee ratio of any conference I’ve attended, so chances are good to win an iPad from somebody!)
We will be doing several technology demonstrations, but the one I’m most excited about is the Brocade Application Resource Broker (ARB). ARB is a vSphere client plug-in that works in conjunction with Brocade ServerIron ADX to provide on-demand resource provisioning for virtualized infrastructure. Here is a link to a 2 minute web presentation that provides an overview of how it works, but I hope you will stop by to see it in person, it’s really cool technology. Hope to see you there!
VMWorld 2009
Aug 27
I’m looking forward to going to VMWorld 2009 next week in San Francisco, I’ll be working booth #1831, so be sure to stop by and say hello. I’m reserving the *good* schwag for my social media friends. ;-)
