Dutch VMUG Event ’08 about to start!

Tomorrow, the Dutch VMUG Event ’08 will take place. I’ll be wearing a nice shirt with ‘Virtual Lifestyle’ on it. Feel free to approach me to talk, that’s what I’m there for!

My schedule for the day will be to attend talks about storage:

‘The future of virtual IT infrastructures’ by Johan Spiers of Lefthand Networks
‘Blockruptcy’ by Tim Waldron, NetApp;
‘Virtualization and Storage’ by Frederik Vos, XTG;
‘SRM and DR best practices’ by Bob van der Werff, VMware;
‘A closer look at the VMware Metashell’ by Viktor van den Berg, VMUG.

See you tomorrow!
