Haha finally at VMworld Europe. What an event!!!
I will keep posting new discoveries on here. The first thing that got my attention as many of you who is attending is the nice free gadgets are available at the different booths. Free is always good is not it.
Though the Free SvSAN offered at booth 59 is really worth your visit to that booth. If you are attending & have not visited Booth 59 then try to hurry before they run out which I belive will not be too long before then with the crowd at the booth.
the SvSAN they offering is yours to keep for life. I believe it will be great for testing to be able to simulate SAN using a local Harddrive & test all the advanced features of VMware. This is can be great for proof of concepts from your TP or just for your own testing. Below is another 11 reason posted on the VMworld site for visiting Booth 59 by Abhik Mitra:
1.) IT’S FREE AS LONG AS YOU PICK UP YOUR KEY, OTHERWISE IT’S $995
2.) THIS IS NOT A 30 DAY FREE TRIAL – THE SOFTWARE IS YOURS FOR LIFE!
3.) TURN INTERNAL DISK DRIVES INTO A VIRTUAL SAN
4.) BUILD A HIGHLY AVAILABLE ESX ENVIRONMENT FOR UNDER $2000
5.) SINGLE OPERATION PROVISIONING – CREATE DATASTORES RAPIDLY
6.) CREATE, MANAGE & PROVISION DATASTORES FROM A SIMPLE VCENTER INTERFACE
7.) UNLOCK THE POWER OF ESX – LEVERAGE THE BENEFITS OF VMOTION, DRS & VCB
8.) SCALE PERFORMANCE AND CAPACITY NON-DISRUPTIVELY
9.) SHARE DATASTORES ACROSS CLUSTERED ESX SERVERS
10.) NOW GO THROUGH 1-9 AGAIN AND ASK YOURSELF, WHY WOULDN’T YOU DO IT??
11.) PS – We’re giving away a Nintendo Wii, iPods and copies of Greg Shulz’s book, “The Green and Virtual Data Center” It’s Simple! Be seen wearing our StorMagic T-Shirts and one of our scouters will let you know that you’re a winner! Oh, and you have to be seen wearing the T-Shirt to actually win
Wow, so don’t waste the chance. For others who is not attending you can get your free copy as well at Free Copy Stormagic SvSAN
Make sure you use the following Promo key to get a free copy for life if you just snap it on time “demo.” Make sure you register with a valid company e-mail as they seems not to send it to free e-mails accounts.
Ah still not convinced of trying it for free or not sure what I am talking about then watch the below video:
