Virtualization, Cloud, Infrastructure and all that stuff in-between

I’ve been really busy the last couple of weeks and I’ve had to trim down my incoming RSS feeds, as there was too much noise and I was missing important things like the following;

• Scott Lowe’s summary of sessions from VMWare’s partner Exchange, some useful information on Site Recovery Manger
• The new VMWare Certified Design Expert (VCDX) certification – next step up from VCP, will have to have a look into it now I’ve finally managed to re-schedule my cancelled QA course – official VM announcement here.
• Official Microsoft Clustering Support with ESX 3.5 Update 1 here
• Some workarounds for deploying Windows Server 2008 with virtual center here – would have been nice if support was in an official update from VMWare soon; it’s not like it’s been beta’ing for a while is it (errr!)
