VMWare Users Group Tampa and Orlando

June 12, 2009

vmware-logoI had the pleasure of attending the VMWare Users Group (VMUG) quarterly meetings in both Tampa and Orlando recently.

The Tampa VMUG meeting was held April 16th at the Southwest Florida Water Management District offices.  It was an informative meeting, including vendor presentations from LeftHand SAN (HP) and Riverbed.

The Orlando VMUG was May 28th at the Everest University campus.  Coming right after the vSphere launch, the discussion was interesting as was the presentation by Vizioncore.

The next Tampa meeting should be in July and include EMC, VMWare, and DataDomain (per VMUG discussion).
