I’m looking forward to a return to Wellington at the end of this month.  I’m scheduled to teach a vSphere 5.0 Install Configure Manage course which looks to have a few friends on it so should be fun.

While I’m in Wellington it’s definitely time to meet with other vFriends and have vBeers.  The announcement is up on the vBeers.org web site. We will be at the Malthouse on Courtney place from 6pm on Tuesday May 1st.

Tell your friends. This is a great place to meet and chat with people who work in virtualisation.

What are the implications for the IT department when the business starts to by Software as a Service?

This topic follows on from discussions I took part in at the HP Cloud Tech Day in Sydney last week.  I hope to have a few of the other attendees join us as they know a lot more about this than I do.
