Monster VMs (Database Virtualization) with?vSphere 6.5 Doing IT Right
vSphere 6.5 has made a lot of changes to enhance the performance of Monster VM?s. Databases by their very nature are the classic Monster VM?s. If Monster VM?s are not virtualized properly they will never perform well and can negatively performance of other VM?s on the hosts. In this presentation, we will teach you how to properly virtualize Monster VM/Databases with vSphere 6.5. We will discuss why you virtualize, installation issues, how to Architect for performance discussing vSphere 6.5 specifics, the storage layer, the processor, Memory considerations, the network layer.? Topics include NUMA, Memory reservations, how to avoid common mistakes. Lesson learned here help you optimize any workload you are virtualizing. With Special emphasis on Monster VM?s on Vsphere 6.5

?Monster VMs Doing IT Right VIRT8209
Monster VMs Doing IT Right VIRT8209 was a top 10 presentation at VMworld 2016 (Both on Tuesday & Thursday). For a numbers of ?years when I present at VMworld I have made top 10. Its great to have an audience that appreciates the fact I am trying to make it fun and at the same time share a lot of great technical information on vSphere virtualization.
Monster VMs Doing IT Right – TOP 10 VMworld 2016
Over the last few years I have co-presented with some great speakers on the topic of Database Virtsualization (Both Microsoft SQL Server and Oracle) and Monster VMs Virtsualization. On this topic my co-presenters have included:
Don Sullivan, VMware?@dfsulliv, Jeff Szastak, VMware?@szastak
This year I asked David Klee, Heraflux?@kleegeek?to join me. David was a tremendous asset to the presentation and a real pleasure to work with. Joining me is this presentation is a lot of work and I really appreciate Davids help and more importantly helping to make sure Monster VMs Doing IT right continues the winning streak of being a VMworld Top 10 Presentation. Given the quality and caliber of speakers at VMworld 2016 this is not an easy feat. Both David and I are looking forward to taking this presentation to VMworld 2016 in Barcelona.
This presentation is based upon the best selling books?Virtualizing SQL Server with VMware: Doing IT Right (VMware Press Technology). I would encourage you to consider the purchase of this book and its sister book?Virtualizing Oracle Databases on vSphere (VMware Press Technology)
Both these books complement each other and are a very useful to have on hand as you go through the slide deck for Monster VMs Doing IT Right VIRT8290R.

Lessons Learned When Choosing A Cloud Provider (Updated 06/20/16)
This presentation was first given at the Data Summit in New York City. It was a very successful presentation. It was written up on the Forbes website in an article?21 Questions To Ask Your Cloud Computing Provider, Before You Sign?by Joe McKendrick. The most recent version of this presentation was done for the Tech Summit in Washington DC and Boston MA.
For an industry that is 10 years old, even in 2016?AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google, and Verizon Cloud still have outages that have taken down companies such as Netflix, Amazon, and Reddit and temporarily put them out of business.
These outages and other issues have forced these early adopters to the cloud to rethink their cloud strategies. What is even more disturbing Amazon Web Services tells companies that they should move everything to the cloud, and yet The Wall Street Journal disclosed that Amazon does not follow its own advice of being 100% cloud. This session discusses recent cloud trends, the lessons learned from these events, and what it means to you as a buyer moving forward as you migrate to the cloud.
