Virtuazing desktops have their own challenges. Profile management is a hot item for VDI. AppSense is one of the products for profile management. AppSense gives you ‘roaming’ profiles between Windows 7, Windows XP and Windows 2008 for example. I shot a video during a product demo at the Solutions Exchange. See the video to learn what AppSense can do for your VDI environment.

For those who never visited VMworld, after two long days with all kinds of sessions, labs and Solutions Exchange booths VMware organizes a party. These parties are always very big. Imagine from the 6000 visitors a lot of them visit the party. There’s a lot of food, drinks, music, games and other things to keep you busy till deep in the night.

Earlier today we shot a video at the Quest booth. They demo’d  vFoglight 6.5 and features of vFoglight storage solution.

During VMworld Europe 2010 in Copenhagen I will be keeping a diary to show what a blogger’s life is all about.

I am awake early today. Maybe because it is the day to go on a vRoadtrip to Copenhagen with the VMguru crew J Time to check my e-mail and twitter flow to get up to speed. More and more bloggers, speakers, partners and VMware personal is moving towards Copenhagen. Just follow the flow of tweets…

Time for a shower and shave I reckon. Ahh that feels good fresh and fruity! Packing my bag with cloths and such I will need next couple of days. Now time to gather all electronic gadgets I will need. AC  adapters, network cables, laptop, mobile phone, business cards and an alarm clock. The bag feels heavy.

After an eight hour, 850 km drive we arrived in Copenhagen. The trip wasn’t too bad. The problem is you can’t see to much of the countryside when you drive at speeds above 210 km/h. Luckily we made some pictures and videos along the way.

Below is a compilation of the footage we shot so far.

Every year VMware is organizing VMworld. It offers attendees informative sessions and hands-on labs, plus access to a wealth of technology partners.

Today VMware organized the vForum 2010 in Nijkerk, the Netherlands, and during this day Dutch VMUG-er Viktor van den Berg interviewed Richard Garsthagen. Richard is one of the organizers of VMworld and during this interview he revealed some news about VMworld 2010.

First of all VMworld 2010 USA will be held from August 30th until September 2nd  in the Moscone Center in San Fransisco. The European version in the Bella Center in Copenhagen will take place from October 12th until October 14th.

Talking with colleagues and community members the issue which is immediately brought up is ‘Can we expect any news in Europe or is all news presented one month earlier?‘ Richards response is that VMworld is not primarily meant for product news but it’s a three day training event.

The biggest news Richard bring is that VMware is going to promote the experts. How? During VMworld 2010 you can get educated in four different ways. First of all you can attend breakout sessions or attend the self passed labs. A new item is that a you can attend smaller, more private group sessions. But when this is not private enough you can register for a 10 minute one-on-one private session with one of the VMware experts! Very cool!

A second great new feature …..
