6 Months As A vArchitect - What's It Like?

I feel like my blogging has been lagging lately and I wanted to give my readers an insight as to why.

 

First, I've been working like a mad dog at my new gig. I remember sitting at previous jobs and see the tweets that said "on a mission for inbox 0", I now know what that means. VCE is on a rocketship and my days are no longer 8-5, it's more 8-8, or 6-10, or 24/7. The inbox is constantly getting hit every day with new clients needing to know more about Vblock. My job is a mission to educate Service Providers on why we do VMware better on a Vblock. Then develop a bill of materials for that specific Vblock. In addition, I'm working with Chris Colotti from VMware on a special project that will hopefully unravel itself in the weeks to come.

 

2nd, I've been spending what little vSphere client time I have inside of vSphere.Next. Since I can't blog about vSphere.Next yet, I've had to draft up a few blogs in waiting. Now i just need VMware to unleash the beast so I can hit the publish button. Believe me, there are some cool things coming and it's better to wait until the bugs are worked out.

I've been with VCE for 6 months now and life is busy, fun, energetic, passionate, chaotic, and is a never-ending spiral of information. This is also a side-effect of being in a semi-small company that can do things rapidly. If changes need to be made to a process, it can be done in the matter of a few emails. That's a great dynamic of this company. I have also been exposed to some things that you can only get at parent companies. Since Cisco and EMC are the primary contributers to VCE, we are given employee level access into both companies. I've been able to meet great people from both sides of the house, as well as share in confidential information that will eventually bring itself to market that change existing Vblock Platforms.

 

That's enough for now... I'm hoping that very soon i'll get more time inside the vSphere client so I can get some more VMware focused objectives posted to this site. Something to look forward to is the Top 10 Free Tools for 2011, which I will begin the testing very soon, so stay tuned!
