Day in the books at Virtualization week

A good day was had by most i would assume...At least I felt the day was for us. Some lively comments and discussion on twitter and the blog's.

Some interesting news from VMware this morning...the cloud is now open. No way to have that ready for SAP eco-system in the next 1-1.5 years

Thank you all for the fun twitter conversation.

Sapvirtualizationweek2009 is here!
Zia Yusuf is ready to launch the event and the overflow crowd is a buzz. Tomorrow is the Vmware vsphere launch we shall see where the media hangs out for honest answers!
The secondary buzz is how much Oracle paid for Sun!
It is another buy but it will be an interesting merger of talents..I wish my favorite pony tailed CEO well!

Here we are in sunny palo Alto, CA. Sunday evening, 87 degrees and the world of virtualization is ready to be showcased in the SAP eco-system.

I have been moved to the monday Morning slot at 11:45 am pst following Manfred Buchmann, of SAP.

We came to lookm at the entire 24 speakers and I realized I am the only partner speaking with no corporate motive. I am speaking on behalf of the SAP client.

This should be a unique week for myself, SAP, & the future of SAP's virtualization direction.

We shall keep this blog updated all week via email updates.

SAP Virtualization Week 2009

Good Morning all....It is with great pleasure I promote the SAP Virtualization week 2009

I have the honor to be presenting with some of the big dog's in the industry...Simon Crosby of Citrix, Steve Herrod of VMware, Gunther Schmalzhaf of SAP along with Virtualization Guru's Scott Lowe and Rick Scherer.

For me this is 18 years in the making since my mainframe days and really in the SAP eco-system i believe we are 3 years behind the 8 ball. This event is available on-line as well as was in person but that part is sold out.

My presentation is Tuesday afternoon at 2:15 p.m. pst. Virtualization and Business Agility: How to create a virtual strategy for real success in SAP

I will be focusing on the SAP eco-system, NOT a particular solution because as we know each SAP landscape is unique and one solution can not support them all.

I will be very honest on what we see with our clients in the SAP eco-system, what we tell them, how we plan a virtual strategy, but to give you a peak before we really key on planning! ;)

So please logg into the site, watch all the speakers you wish and lets show how SAP in a virtual environment is a $1.875 Billion savings point!

I also will be blogging everyday from this event and others in the upcoming weeks...VMware has their new product launch on the 21st and I will be a featured speaker at Citrix Synergy as well with 2 presentations and 2 geek speaks....so again i will provide as much detail as possible....send any questions to me directly at ccarter@ccierp.com

Tahnk you all
