I spoke at TechTarget’s Data Center Decisions conference in Chicago last week. One of the speakers was Virtulization Expert, Andrew Kutz (author of the famous SVMotion plug-in). In this video, Andrew discusses using virtualization in a lab environment. Click on the video to watch the full interview…

In my new video, I demonstrate, step by step, how you can run VMware ESX Server 3.5 and ESXi 3.5 inside VMware Workstation 6.5. This is also shown in my Train Signal VMware ESX Server video training course.
While you wouldn’t run ESX in Workstation for a production server, running ESX in Workstation is an excellent way to test and demonstrate ESX Server (and the entire VMware Virtual Infrastructure suite) on a single PC. Think about it - what if you had a single PC with 2 ESX Servers, an iSCSI virtual SAN, and a Windows Server running Virtual Center. With that, you would have “VMware Infrastructure in a box” and be able to run powerful features like VMotion, SVMotion, VMHA, and Update Manager, all on a single PC.
Special thank you to Xtravirt.com for their “VI in a box” whitepaper that shows how to run ESX Server in VMware Workstation.

VMware recently posted some great videos over at blip.tv and I will be posting links to them here at VMwareVideos.com. One of those videos covers a cool new feature of VMware Workstation 6.5 Beta - Record and Replay. Take a look…

I am excited to say that my VMware Server & Workstation video training course is officially available! 
After creating the popular Microsoft Virtualization video series, I moved on to VMware virtualization. Because VMware has the lion share of the virtualization market, I believe that this new video will be even more popular than the Microsoft video!
To create this video training, I spent 3 months researching VMware Workstation & Server. I made every effort cover the VMware products from all aspects including designing, installing, creating virtual machines, virtual networks, storage, backups, and performance tuning. Once we covered Server & Workstation, we moved on to our VMware ESX Server overview and our bonus video, VMware ACE.
