BACKGROUND Upon arriving at my new organization the end of February of this year, a co-worker had already migrated most of our virtual infrastructure to vSphere 5.1, utilizing SQL 2012 as the vCenter Server database. In doing so, they noticed some “bugginess” with the infrastructure – unable to log in using the ‘thick’ Client, the Performance tab →

So when the exam was released to general availability last week I wanted to get it booked and sat as quick as possible. This morning was the appointed time so I went down to my local Person VUE testing centre and spent a while staring at a screen.

Hi everyone! We’ll be having Zerto’s own Shannon Snowden on the US #vBrownBag podcast on February 13th, 2013 at 730pm CST.

This post is most decidedly not OpenStack related. However, it’s one of those “I am a grown up and work on grown up things” sorts of posts. When you are on a call with multiple other folks, there is a style and flow to the conversation, and while the phone allows for two way communication,
