From a very interesting tweet:
@MeghanAtBMC: VMWorld infrastructure is running 37,248 VM's on 776 ESX servers w/total of 37TB of Memory 348TB Storage
SWEET!!!
The next set of questions coming from someone that manages a datacenter:
Can we get a whitepaper/post mortem report on:
- How this datacenter ran during the show?
- What issues did you see?
- What worked well?
- How many VMotions happened?
- How many HA events occurred?
- How many IOPS occurred?
- How many last minute change requests for more CPU, Memory, Disk, Extra VMs come through?
- What kind of change management was in place for this?
- What were the support policies?
- How many admins were involved?
- How many hack attacks occurred?
- What kind of security issues were seen?
- What kind of repair worked happened?
- What was Lab Manager used for?
- What was View used for?
- What versions of everything that were used?
- Did you have any FT VMs? How did they work?
Any other questions datacenter folks would be intersted in? I know I'm just itching to know.

I've got my schedule packed and for a first I'm getting asked to take a peek of a couple different vendor products from people internal to the company. These folks want to get input on if these products will be useful for our different internal efforts with respect to our virtualization environments and OS environments. (Note.. if you don't catch the mega WOOTness here you should now. VMware is becoming a noticeably important tool at director and above levels.)
