The show floor proved to be really busy this morning. One piece of
evidence: we distributed 1,500 shirts in 2.5 hours. The orange shirts
say "Virtualize World Peace" and the crowd was 2-deep at demos for
Virtual Machine Manager (in beta now), SoftGrid and Windows Server
virtualization (the hypervisor-based architecture for Longhorn).
The sessions have proved to be muc better than the keynote. A few
sessions on VDI and some interesting insights on how that model can
create even more power consumption than before and the scalability
challenge of adding all those desktop images to the servers/blades. The
power consumption challenge was perhaps the most interesting given the
comments from PG&E earlier today in the keynote. PG&E, which provides
power to most of California, is providing business with credits
($700-$1,300) for consolidating servers in the datacenter using server
virtualization.
More to come later.
