Liquidware Labs = New Gold Sponsor
[adrotate banner=”6″]
I’m pleased to announce Liquidware Labs as next Gold Sponsor
Ok, Ok, We all know I used to work for Liquidware so I’m slightly biased but that was 2.5 years ago and I still love their technology. I’ve been a strong advocate so its no wonder they are also supporting me. I love them so much that I’ve been aggressively pushing for use of LWL products at Canopy and Atos.
So what do they do? Well if you are in the VDI game you probably already know, but you don’t you are missing out big time. IMO Liquidware fills the gaps not picked up by the core VDI vendors. They are the industry leader when comes to:
- Assessment of existing desktop estates to help transform to VDI
- In guest visibility of the VDI platform end-2-end to help diagnose issues with:
- Performance
- Logon Times
- Application Response times
- Usage
- And much much more
Check out Stratusphere FIT and UX for more on the above
They also have a Persona/Profile Management solution that is not seen as the industry leader but as the most cost effective solution called ProfileUnity. Now I’m being honest when I say not the industry leader but things change and more recently LWL have closed the gap without compromising the price point.
Enough said.. GOT VDI? You need Liquidware Labs

Devolutions = New Gold Sponsor

I’m pleased to announce that Devolutions is our new gold sponsor.
Now they have a free tool I’ve been using for sometime now after @dszp (who one the first people I connected to in twitter) told me about this wonderful software for allowing me to manage my RDP sessions like a local connection broker called Remote Desktop Manager
Actually what I found was it was so much more… not only does it have the ability to broker RDP sessions but has built in other clients too like: vCenter, Radmin, PC-Anywhere, Citrix, Telnet, VNC…… the list is end-less…
Remember back in the day we all use to use Veeam FastSCP well this is one of those most have tools. But my use case around the RDP connections was to make my life easier. You know how sometimes it can irritating when you have to break out the RDP (mstsc.exe) into command line just to switch to admin mode or change the RDP port???? well no more if you use Remote Desktop Manager.
VMturbo = First Gold Sponsor
[adrotate banner=”3″]
I’m pleased to announce VMturbo as the first Gold sponsor . We’d looked at VMturbo at Canopy and thought it looked cool and had some advantages because of its hooks into vCloud.
VMTurbo’s is a Software-Driven Control platform that enables organizations to manage cloud and enterprise virtualization environments to assure application performance while maximizing infrastructure efficiency. What VMTurbo told me is they take a market-based approach to dynamically examine real-time performance characteristics, resource capacity, system constraints and service level priorities across the environment to determine, implement and adjust resource configurations and workload placement. This drives the necessary actions to bring the environment into a healthy state where performance is assured while maximizing efficiency — and keep it there as demands fluctuate— quickly, automatically, continuously and efficiently. VMTurbo enables enterprises to meet service levels and business goals, and is the only technology capable of closing the loop in IT operation by automating the decision-making process to control the environment in a healthy state.
So we all know I’m big on automation right now and this takes automation to a new level. Lets not automate just new stuff but automate the old stuff too.
As cloud and virtual environments grow in complexity, enterprises need a new approach to ensure that the best decisions are being made throughout the entire infrastructure, keeping everything running smoothly in real time. VMTurbo’s patented technology is the only way to automate this process – enabling companies to fully harness the power of virtualization.
VMTurbo also has a 30 Day Free Trial of their Operations Manager product here.
