Score with Virtualization

We just got back from the Citrix virtualization seminar in Washington D.C.  The seminar was very informative with live demos of their products.  They pretty much covered all their virtualization products and how they work together: XenApp (application virtualization), XenDesktop (desktop virtualization), and XenServer (server virtualization).  They also had three of their customers come in to share their experiences with Citrix virtualization technologies.

Now for the free stuff.  Attendees received a small bag (man purse?), a notepad, a pen, and a 1GB flash drive.  Citrix XenServer is also now free with XenMotion (live migration) and XenCenter (let’s see how VMware responds to this ).  Picture of the free stuff below.

Just got back from the Microsoft Virtualization Launch Event in New York.  Overall, it was pretty good.  It was also pretty short, it started at 8:30am and it’s pretty much done by 1:30pm.  There’s also not a lot of people who attended this event compared to their other launch events, there were plenty of seats available.

They pretty much talked mostly about the benefits of virtualization and Microsoft System Center.  They showed live demos on how to use System Center and its interoperability with VMware ESX Server.  They also showed demos for application virtualization and there are hands on labs if you want to try out the products.

For the free stuff, you get a T-Shirt, a voucher for prep course collection #6319 and exam #70-652 ($316 value), and a Microsoft Virtualization Evaluation Kit (will be mailed to you).
