The Current State of Green Computing PDF Print
Written by Scott Herold   
Friday, 02 May 2008
The idea of green computing has generated a lot of interest in quite a few organizations.  The marketing money that VMware has been throwing at it is actually quite impressive.  A quick trip to VMware's website, and one can easily see that green computing is a primary focus for them.  Anyone who has been out to their Palo Alto location knows that they spent a lot of money building an entirely energy efficient 5-building campus...and it is a beautiful campus at that.   I've done quite a bit of research in this area, and one of the disturbing trends that I have seen is that "Green Computing" or "Lower Power Consumption" is extremely low on everyone's virtualization priority list.

Scott 1 - VMGuru Lab 0 PDF Print

Most intelligent men would not state this, but I was fortunate enough to have my wife spending a week in Spain visitng her sister. This allowed me to pull a few late nighters and not only finish racking and cabling all the servers, but also custom cut and run all network cables (those that I could unplug for now anyways). To top if all off, I even got all 5 of my PE 1435's configured with various hypervisors.

Look Out Norway (and the UK) PDF Print

If you are one of my very very few (33) Norwegian visitiors, you may or may not be excited to know that I will be heading over to present virtualization backup strategies at the Thinpower 2008 event on the 7th and 8th of May. When the idea was first pitched to me I had no idea the Norwegian Citrix and Virtualization community was as large as it is, and I am actually quite excited about the trip.

The Aftermath PDF Print
Written by Scott Herold   
Wednesday, 12 March 2008

I'm finally fully readjusted and back on schedule after VMworld and a bit of follow-up travel so can get some updates out about some cool things that have come up recently. First and foremost, Cannes, France was amazing. VMware (Richard Garsthagen ) picked an awesome location for the event. My first night was capped by the Vizioncore party where I got the chance to meet up with a lot of partners that I have come to know over the last few years.

VMworld Europe PDF Print
Written by Scott Herold   
Wednesday, 20 February 2008
I was hoping to publish my new article about my new iSCSI server that I built this week, but completely ran out of time trying to prepare for an 8 day trip to France for VMworld Europe in Cannes.  There may be a chance that I can squeeze the build specs in before I have to leave for the airport Friday afternoon, but will not make any promises.
