Speaker: Vipul Shah, Microsoft.
Oh no, another marketing head. It’s been Need I say Vipul is a senior product manger? Isn’t everyone in MS a senior product manager? It also appears to me that the majority of the virtualisation technologies are developed in the MS centre in India rather than Redmond. We heard in Ireland, recently at the lunch events, about the global around the clock effort to develop Windows. This is further evidence of that.
Rockstar Mark Russinovich is playing in another room in this slot in a session that I wouldn’t have much time for, i.e. UAC is/isn’t a security feature. That story has been done to death now. That means this room is 60% empty.
Production application virtualisation (on server VM’s) has increased maybe by 100% during 2006-2008. Lots of reasons which we know: deployment/management time, carbon foot print, flexibility, lower costs, DR, etc.
I walked out on this session after 30 minutes of marketing filled with incorrect statements, e.g. “sure, go ahead an use more than 64 cores in your Hyper-V server and it will be supported”. Uh uh. It will not be supported.
