vSoup

We´ve been graced with the presence of Mr. Joe Onisick, Cloud and Datacenter Guru and all around nice guy (If you agree with him, that is). So, topics? We had a few: Dell Quest Acquisition VMware DynamicOPs Acquisition Multi-Hypervisor Data Centers Amsterdam TechEd – How does it compare to VMWorld Conference arranged parties – are […]

Finally a new episode, that is way overdue because of Ed´s Asian Adventures. This weeks guest is PowerShell and PowerCLI Guru Hal Rottenberg, and in no particular order we get into: VMworld sessions Forum usage When was your Powershell ‘Moment of Clarity’? Mac use and associated challenges Splunk and vSphere usage Splunk + development in […]

In this special edition of vSoup we welcome Bas Raayman to have a little chat regarding the new VCDX Wannabe website. Naturally we talk VCDX certification, including defenses, the VCAP certifications and Bas spills the beans on the VCAP-DCA beta exam.

Guess what? We have a guest this time too! Michael Poore, yet another englishman who´s recently visited the US of A, finally graces us with his presence! Now, tell us, how large is your shower head? Seemingly a random question, but hey, this is vSoup after all. Is it possible to work towards the VCDX […]

Once again we bring you David Owen. For some reason he seems to be a returning guest, we only wish that the listener numbers would reflect it! David was recently one of the Virtualization Field Day 2 – Silicon Valley delegates, and finally gets a chance to tell the world what it feels like to […]

Philip Buckley-Mellor, a video on demand infrastructure consultant is our guest. Since he, unlike the hosts, is used to tackling big things we get into scalabiliy, Splunk, vCOPS 5. For some reason, augmented reality also makes an appearance, and traffic in Vietnam. And, can anyone guess which series of movies would be the best de-duplication […]

Welcome to a guest-less episode of vSoup, where the hosts find themselves left all alone in the big world pondering what hit them in 2011 and what’s going to hit them in 2012. We get into all sorts of topics like Christian’s new job, Volkswagen shutting off off hours email, Ed’s Hyper-V to vSphere experience, […]

Duncan Epping, VCDX #007 with a license to pimp VMware, is our guest. A promising young lad that might just have a future in the virtualization space, if he plays his cards right. We talk about Duncan’s next project, vShield App, Hairy Security Guys, and we get the answer to the ultimate question “What is […]

For the first, and quite possible the last time, vSoup goes video! Recorded live at VMworld Europe 2011, with special guest Ed Grigson who blogs at vexperienced.co.uk. Ed and Chris are both present in the studio, but Christian, who can’t be at VMworld this year, is back home in Norway. Thankfully his presence is emulated […]

Arjan is one of the rather huge dutch virtualization army, and a really nice guy as well. We get into all sorts of topics, like P2Ving Domain Controllers, Christian's new job, Ed's possible Asian rim job, and can you, as a consultant, really say to to a client/customer?

Also, for some reason we get into replacing Christian (at VMworld Europe) with a potato, and the possibility of having Chris wandering around Copenhagen wearing a green bikini.

VMware Workstation 8 gets some more well deserved attention too, including running Hyper-V in it. The value of conferences gets mentioned and so does the conference parties!
