The Cohesity office in San Jose is directly under the flight path to San Jose airport. For the week of the Build Day Live at Cohesity planes were flying close over our heads. It was also great for Jeffrey; his flights were from San Jose. Tracey and I had a bit more of a hike,

Hi everybody! @arielsanchezmor here 🙂 I am in possession of the old vBrownbag recording kit (camera, tripod, wireless lavalier microphone) so whenever I get permission to record user presentations, I do it. I’m happy to be able to show three sessions from friends near where I lived the Pittsburgh area, from the Pittsburgh VMUG in

vForum rolls into Sydney next week and the vBrownBag crew will be there, near the Dodgem cars making TechTalk videos.

If you are at vForum then you will find

VMworld US is over for 2018, and I hope everyone has recovered from the travel and the inevitable post-conference ills. I managed to not pack any decent shoes, just my travel slippers and a pair of sandals. As a result, I learned that new shoes and conference walking do not mix, the big blister on

Another, very educational, Build Day Live event completed, and I still find that each event feels different. The Build Day Live with Supermicro felt like I was learning a lot about the company and not so much about the specific product that we deployed. I already knew that Supermicro is a server vendor in their own category, not an all-encompassing behemoth like some of the other big vendors but not just an assembler of components like some lower cost vendors. I knew that Supermicro designs and manufacture their servers and that their engineering is top notch. What I didn’t realize was that the engineering and manufacturing happens in San Jose for products shipped to US customers. I didn’t know how good Supermicro is at re-using engineering across product families using modular designs. I also had no idea that there are a complete range of Supermicro data center network switches.
