The vBrownBag team love to be involved in unusual and innovative things. One new thing we really like is John Troyer’s upcoming conference The Reckoning.

The Reckoning will be a fairly small gathering, a couple of hundred technologists who like to communicate about technology. Naturally when

It was magic at first, running multiple VMs on one server using a hypervisor. Then the magic was running VMs on a hypervisor that was itself a VM on another hypervisor.

No conversion, just copy the VMs to this new cloud.
