As we were wrapping up VMWorld Europe (or at least Mark Browne was) Gina Minks (@gminks) and Tony Foster (@wondernerd)discuss virtualising workloads for High Performance Computing and Big Data. Its an interesting proposal that could lead to more efficient and frankly less expensive Big Data projects, opening up the industry to innovation. If you have any further thoughts, please comment here or reach out to Gina and Tony.

We catch up with Dell EMC Elect member Victor Forde of Asystec (@victorforde), in Barcelona with his colleagues Matthew Sheeran (@virtuepedia) and Thomas Kieran.
