		<title>VMware Support offline for most of day due to power outage</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On the 17th of Feb some form of Power Failure occurred at one of VMware&#8217;s Palo Alto locations.   From what I understand this primarily affected the support systems and as such the phones were down for most of the day.

		<description><![CDATA[The recent Zimbra acquisition by VMware threw me a bit for a loop initially.  Then I started chewing on it and read the good post by Rodney Haywood.   Very shortly afterwords I had a classic Homer Duh moment.
