Just wanted to do a quick post on how easy it is to move an existing Synology disk group to a different Synology device. I recently had to do that but the information available wasn't too clear, especially with regards to the safety of existing data etc. It started a few months ago when my [...]
A few months back, I reported the return of Ravello with exciting new capabilities in the pipeline. Being a big fan of the technology, I was very excited to know what’s coming and couldn’t wait for its release. Today, I am pleased to say that Oracle is announcing the general availability of Ravello on Oracle [...]
I started Day 2 by posting coverage of Day 1 of VMworld and all things of note since after landing in Barcelona. Then there was the run to the venue. Coincidentally, I got the same seat in the keynote as on Day 1 and next to Barry Coombs and Megan Warren. https://twitter.com/AtherBeg/status/907860626831179778 The keynote was [...]
I hope you enjoyed our interview with Pat Gelsinger a few days ago. Today, we have another special treat for you. On Day 2 of VMworld Europe 2017, we interviewed Sanjay Poonen, Chief Operating Officer - Customer Operations at VMware. In the interview, we talked to him about life in general but also at VMware [...]

We started with getting his thoughts on the brilliant VR-Powered Cloud Management demo in the morning keynote session but [...]
You might know that I co-host the Open TechCast. Everyone on the show have "fancy mics" and I have my Jabra headset, which does the job but it's not great. For that reason, I decided to get one too. Now, that much was easy but if you've ever tried looking for one, you'll know that [...]
I covered Part 1 of the Oracle Ravello Blogger Day in my previous post. This post is all about the second part of the day which was devoted what we were originally invited for: Ravello. Why the silence? To answer that question and start us off, Navin Thadani, VP, Product Development, Oracle Ravello Cloud Service [...]
Last week, I attended the Ravello Blogger's Day at Redwood City, along with many other fellow vExpert bloggers. When I received the invite for it, I had to say yes as I was/am a big fan of the technology, given its potential and the many problems it can solve. Also, I was intrigued to see what [...]
The Unpanel (from left to right): Chiara Rustici, Mark Craddock, Adrian Colyer, Alex Tijhuis, Kuan Hon Not even Storm Doris could prevent me from attending the CloudCamp event, organised by Cohesive Networks and also sponsored by VMware Code. Due to major travel restrictions and no tubes, I wasn't expecting the turn out to be [...]
