VMworld 2010 Registration is OPEN
If you haven't heard yet, VMworld 2010 registration is open for all. Some changes are taking place this year...like no more pre-registration for breakout sessions?
This year, VMworld is connecting you directly with subject-matter authorities with our Knowledge Experts Program. These highly respected members of VMware community - made up of industry-leading customers, bloggers and VMware employees - will be conducting and participating in Breakout sessions and Birds of a Feather discussion groups. Plus, they'll also be available for one-on-one meetings and more casual discussions as they circulate throughout the conference.
One-on-One Meetings
You can schedule one-on-one meetings with up to 3 Knowledge Experts during the conference. Use these 15-minute sessions to delve into topics that relate specifically to your organization.
Birds of a Feather Discussion Groups
In addition to traditional Breakout Sessions, we're introducing Birds of a Feather Discussion Groups led by one of the Knowledge Experts. These informative and interactive discussion groups are a great opportunity for you to gain insight from like-minded colleagues in similar industries. Attendance is on a first-come, first-served basis.
Self-Paced Labs - More Options
In 2010, all VMworld Labs will be held in a self-paced environment - allowing us to maximize the number of labs offered and giving you more opportunities to explore how virtualization can make a powerful impact on your organization. Unlike traditional instructor-led labs, self-paced labs create a more interactive and educational environment - one that lets you see, first hand, how the latest in VMware software can help you energize your business.

VMware's New ESX to ESXI Upgrade Center
VMware has launch a new special website helping everyone prepare for the transition to ESXI. Why this new site:
We launched this upgrade center to help customers and partners get comfortable with ESXi because we've stated on numerous occasions that in the future, ESXi will be the exclusive focus of VMware development efforts.
So head on over as well all prepare for ESX 5 (which I hear will be only released with ESXi).
P.S. ESX 4.1 release with a full ESX console is expected to released in May - June time frame.

Statelessness: CISCO UCS -vs- HP Virtual Connect
I have to say as I learn more about the CISCO UCS solution I do like how they took a fresh approach to the entire problem...making everything "Stateless".
This is an excellent comparison and explanation of what the UCS system tries to achieve and a comparison to HP Blade solutions using HP Virtual Connect.
