I finally completed bookings and arrangements for VMworld and I thought would be nice to share my schedule here. I honestly don’t expect to be able to attend all listed sessions but I’ll do my best.
One thing that I regret is not have signed up to sessions a while back. Some of the sessions I really would like to attend were Full already and I had to select alternative sessions. However, keep eyes on the schedule as VMware may open new sessions.
As learning new stuff is what drive us ahead I won’t be attending all EUC (End User Computing) sessions. I’m trying to diversify my focus a little bit. However, the EUC sessions I am attending I strongly recommend, either because of the topic or the presenters.
Sessions I recommend:
EUC2103 Storage Tips and Best Practices for VMware View Desktop Deployments
I know Jeff Whitman and Jim Yanik well and have also provided feedback on their presentation. If you are a technical professional deploying VDI solutions this sessions is a must go. These guys will cover many storage aspects in VDI deployments, including futures.
EUC2692 Rethinking Storage for Virtual Desktops
I have no idea what to expect from this panel, however having Chad Sakac (@sakacc), Vaughn Stewart, Mike Koponen and Travis Vigil paneling together is certainly a must Go session! I think we will all learn in this panel.
EUC1683 Lessons Learned Deploying and Managing 3000 Virtual Desktops
My good friend and VDI Jedi master Jeff O’Connor (@cloudpimps) will be presenting his real life experiences and frustrations deploying a 3000 seat VDI for Australian Securities Investments Commission. I recommend this session for anyone looking for the real deal.
EUC2846 View Enterprise Architecture Design and Implementation Best Practices
John Dodge and Tommy Walker know everything about VDI and VMware View. From this sessions I would expect more than just best practices, but some hints of what is coming down the track. They are member of the Office of the CTO and have in-depth knowledge of the current and future architectures.
