Deltek Insight 2010, Washington, D.C. May 17-20

UPDATE 5/21/2010: The conference was pretty good overall. It was great to reconnect with so many people. Looking forward to the actual release of Costpoint 7, the first fully web-based release. I will be following up with all of you that I ran into over the next week. But now it’s time for Hot Rods and Muscle Cars in Ocean, City, MD!

Deltek’s annual conference is next week, May 17th through the 20th. I wasn’t sure if I was going to go this year, but I’ve made a decision to go.

It’s being held at the Gaylord National, right outside of Washington, D.C. at the National Harbor in Maryland. I’ll be on the lookout for those of you that I know and if you see me, don’t be a stranger!

VMWare Virtualization Forum 2009

I attended the VMWare Virtualization Forum yesterday in Washington, D.C. and came home even more sure that VMWare is the top virtualization vendor out there. It was a lot of marketing, of course, but I still got a lot of good info out of it. Kind of hard to complain about a free full-day event like that.

The next version of VMWare ESX and associated technologies, dubbed ‘vSphere’ seems pretty impressive, especially when coupled with Intel’s new 5500 series Xeon processors. They are calling it a ‘Cloud Operating System’, which is really more marketing speak than anything. The fundamentals of the ESX products have not really changed greatly, just improved; if you ask me, you could have called the previous versions a Cloud OS too and gotten away with it.

I’m really hoping to make it out to VMWorld 2009 this year and am really looking forward to my first vSphere deployment.
