We’re at that time of year when the tech conference season, after a bit of a summer break, swings back into full gear, some we’ve already had, such as MSIgnite and some we have to come, over the next couple of months there’s a range of shows big and small dotted across the globe on a range of topics.One of the biggest and still one of the most influential tech shows of the year is VMworld, VMware’s showcase event, a long time cornerstone of the technology community for IT pro’s and vendors alike.VMworld attracts IT Pro’s and vendors from many disciplines’ server and storage vendors, through to automation and analytics companies all working closely with VMware’s platforms to deliver services across enterprise and organisations of all types.What can you expect to learn from a show like VMware? What’s the benefit for you? Well as we sit handily between VMworld US and Europe, I thought it would be a useful to explore VMworld a little more.Joining me to discuss this, is the co-host of the fantastic Virtually Speaking podcast Pete Flecha, a veteran of a number of VMworld’s as customer, partner and now as employee, he’s in a great position to provide some background to the show, how it’s changed and some of the key announcements from Vegas and what to look out for in Barcelona.We discuss what exactly is VMworld, its size, the community it attracts and why it's a show about much more than virtualisation.We hear Pete's favourite announcements from the show including the intriguing "Project Dimension" and finish up looking ahead to Barcelona and discussing why, if you've never attended VMworld, you may want to get it on your calendar for next year.Enjoy the show.Click here for full show notes:- https://wp.me/p4IvtA-1B4

What happens in Vegas, heads to Barcelona - Pete Flecha - Ep76

Over the last 15 years or so, there has been major shifts in the way we deliver technology in the enterprise, cloud, mobility and of course virtualisation. You can't look at the virtualisation industry without looking at the company who has defined the industry more than any other, VMware. However, they are not immune to change and the world is certainly changing as we become more application and data centric and with this our expectations of how we consume our IT services has also changed.How are VMware changing in response? On this weeks show I managed to catch up with the hosts of the excellent VMware Virtually Speaking podcast, Pete Flecha and John Nicholson, to ask this question and find out how VMware are changing, how they see the needs of their customers evolving and what future trends they see as the next important areas for focus.We discuss how technology not only needs to be resilient but also smart. We look at how organisations want their IT to be able to easily consume and integrate "cloud" into their on-prem solutions.The guys also talk about VMware's shift toward simplifying the technology stack allowing us to focus on our applications and data and not the complexity of the infrastructure below it.Pete and John provide a fantastic insight into how our organisations technology requirements are changing and how VMware are changing to remain a relevant and important part of our IT stack.John also introduces me to my all time favourite analogy that involves cavemen and jetpacks.Enjoy the show.Full show notes are here... http://wp.me/p4IvtA-1aM

In this episode I'm joined by Pete Flecha, Senior Technical Marketing Architect at VMware, as we discuss VVOL's. VMware's new approach to delivering storage to virtual infrastructures. VVOL's look to address many of the problems traditional SAN based storage presents to Virtual infrastructures. Pete provides an intro to the problems VVOL's look to address, how they go about it and what we can expect from the recent vSphere 6.5 release that brings us VVOL's v2.0... enjoy.Show notes are here http://wp.me/p4IvtA-z2
