NetApp - The Virtual Storage Guy

RTFM has Re-Launched

Mike Laverick's RTFM Education site has relaunched with a fresh new look and navigation provided by an expanded staff. For many of us Mike is a man among mice when it comes to VMware education and information.

Mike, the site looks great and I can't wait to catch the webcasts...

Another 'Must Read' Blog

I was pleasantly surprised last week to learn that a long time friend, ex-NetApp associate, and now Senior Systems Engineer at VMware, Dave Lawrence has started blogging.  Dave has always been on top of his game with technology and it is apparent by the content of his posts.  The VMGuy is chock full of great information for VMware administrators and architects.

I'd suggest that you consider the VMGuy a must read and add it to your RSS subscriptions.

VMware on NetApp Best Practices Update

As one might imagine

Several of us within NetApp receive a fair amount of feedback around the content in our VMware on NetApp Best Practices Technical Report, TR-3428.  A few of the areas where we receive a large amount of inquiry are related to the frequency of the updates to the document and requests for notification of when updates are posted. I’d like to use this post as my way of saying we hear you, to follow up on these questions and ask for some feedback as we move forward with the document and begin work on our ESX 4.0 on NetApp Best Practices document.

An update has been posted

Version 4.4 went live on November 24th around midnight EDT.  As this is update closely followed version 4.3, which posted in November, I’d like to share with you some of the key updates and additions to the content that have been introduced in the past 30 days.
