Want to see HP Flex-10 and ESX(i) at VMWorld? Vote for session 3005!
VMworld 2011 is coming up and one of the great things about the conference is independent community members can also offer to present on any topic of interest.
I’ve put forward a presentation proposal Designing and Building a Simple and Scalable Virtual Infrastructure with HP Flex-10 and ESX(i) which is the ONLY HP Flex-10 related presentation proposal.
As there are many more presentation proposals than available slots, the options are put to a public vote so YOU get to decide what you want to see at VMWorld.
If HP Flex-10 and ESX(i) is of interest to you, please vote for my session. You will need a VMworld logon and click on the thumbs up icon against any sessions that interest you, hopefully mine!
Title: Designing and Building a Simple and Scalable Virtual Infrastructure with HP Flex-10 and ESX(i)
Technical Level: Technical
Abstract: No one is downsizing their virtual infrastructure. Your virtual hosting environment is the one place in your IT department where you are not looking at making anything smaller. The benefits of virtualisation in managing costs by making better use of resources, improving availability by increased uptime and simplifying and standardising on your IT processes means you need to virtualise more and more. Using HP blades is a great foundation to build and expand your virtual infrastructure enabling you to create your own private or public cloud. HP Flex-10 delivers 10GbE to each blade and using VMware’s advanced converged networking capabilities allows you to provide IP Storage, VM Traffic, vMotion and FT to your infrastructure in a simple yet scalable way. Understanding and designing your infrastructure for HP Flex-10 can seem daunting, frustrating and confusing with too many options along with ever changing firmware and Nic driver version requirements. “Designing and building a simple and scalable virtual infrastructure with HP Flex-10 and ESX(i)” will show you how to configure your blade environment, what firmware versions you require and how to build your ESX(i) hosts with PowerCLI to take advantage of 10GbE converged networking.
I cannot make it to VMworld this year. I have already setup 2 c7000’s using VirtualConnect and will be setting up and supporting at least a couple more. Anyway, can I get a copy of this presentation ?
Cheers,

Hi Justin, unfortunately my presentation wasn’t accepted for VMworld so I won’t be presenting.
Shame, would have been of interest – any chance you can mail it to me..
Yeah – we have lots of Flex-10’s where I work. I’d love to see someone else’s ideas on how to setup shop with them. Especially with the newer G7 blades with the Flex Fabric NIC’s.
If you have a presentation put together, I’d love to see it!
