These are my links for May 20th through May 21st:
- Five Key Steps to Managing SharePoint Users – Managing user permissions in SharePoint can be a double-edged sword. On one hand, it empowers users to be responsible for defining who can do what on SharePoint sites without heavily relying on IT. However, on the flip side, user management can be a total mess without proper guidance and a well-defined process.
- How Much Bandwidth Do I Need for My Virtual Desktop – Do you ever wonder how much bandwidth you need to do a desktop virtualization implementation?
- EMC 20% Unified Storage Guarantee !EXPOSED! | Christopher Kusek, Technology Evangelist – However since joining EMC, all I would ever hear from the competition is how ‘space inefficient’ we were and frankly, I’m glad to see the release of the EMC Capacity Calculator to let you decide for yourself where your efficiency goes. Recently we announced this whole "Unified Storage Guarantee" and to be honest with you, I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. So I decided to take the marketing hype, set it on fire and start drilling down into the details, because that’s the way I roll.
- Top 10 Free vSphere ESX Tools and Utilities | Tech Blog – here are your Top 10 Free products to use with VMware vSphere
- XenClient: Baremetal Desktop Virtualization | Standalone Sysadmin – At Synergy, Citrix announced XenClient, the next logical step in the progression of desktop virtualization, namely a bare metal hypervisor.
We ended up going with a small vmware view deployment because we already had ESX and got a better deal on view. But the project was rushed and its not installed or configured optimally (not the project leads fault)
We are not using shared clones and not redirecting profiles or user data.
I’ve been reading comparisons of xendesktop vs view and really wish we would have gone with xendesktop. We have Citrix PS 4. Oh well.
I found this video comparing streaming video and PowerPoint in both products. I’m just wondering how well this would look on a non-HDX xendesktop

Tuesday had much better sessions for me. Two great clariion sessions, one was over 
my head but I got some tips from it. Then I had control center and rainfinity sessions, I don’t think these products are for us. It is so hard to get to sessions on everything I want to, I want to take a look at emailXtender and backup advisor (charge backs for avamar if we get it) But I’m busy with clariion,celerra, and avamar.
Melissa and I saw Spamalot last night, it wasn’t very busy so they moved everyone from the 2nd tier down to the floor. So we had really nice seats. It was a great show, I love the holly grace movie so it was a good time.
Meet up with a few fellow twitters today, its fun to meet people that you’ve only read their blogs or twits.

The first day is always blah, too many keynotes note enough sessions. Hands on celerra performance troubleshooting was good. Now I just need to get my unit to code 5.6. Melissa and I went to see carrot top in the evening. Good show.
Nine Fine Irishmen at New York New York was a great dinner.

Did EMCWorld kill twitter, after taking a nice long lunch break. I’m back online to prepare for the next sessions and checking what’s going on in the twitter world. But twitter seems to be offline. I saw someone post about twitter doing upgrades soon. But I checked the twitter blog and nothing about an outage…hmmm
