Hi. I'm Matt Davies and I've just started at Splunk looking after Product Marketing for EMEA so welcome to my first Splunk blog post! Today is day 9 and its been a whirlwind of great customer stories, exciting updates on the product direction, getting hands on with the product (thanks to David Carasso's book) and trying to figure out which is the coolest t-shirt in the Splunk Store. I'm currently stuck between "Because ninjas are too busy" and "I like big data and I cannot lie"....

Now that I've covered a few key business case considerations, I'm going to move on to aspects of planning the implementation and subsequent migration of your desktop transformation program....

You can use the following guidelines to determine what you can and should not virtualize......

Every now and then I get the question: why does Unitrends charge $0.25/GB/month for its cloud service when I can buy cloud storage for less than that from Google, AWS, Azure, and other cloud services? It's a great question ? with a pretty simple and compelling answer....

Those who follow me on twitter probably have seen me “moaning” about the Dutch VMUG for a long time now. For years the Dutch VMUG was not a VMUG like any other VMUG in the world. Yes we had HUGE event in the Netherland every year with over 700 attendees, but it was a commercial event (my opinion!) and not a User Group event. User groups throughout the world are groups which organize events / meetings, these are organized by VMware users for VMware users, free of charge (or for a minimal fee), independent events, striving to make the life of the user better by sharing experiences and knowledge! In the Netherlands this was different, the VMUG was controlled by a single company but that has changed… finally! Een overzicht van de veranderende Nederlandse VMUG: http://t.co/Wsf1rrc6cv en volg @nlvmug voor updates — De Nederlandse VMUG (@NLVMUG) June 16, 2013 As of June the 15th 2013 there is an Official Dutch VMUG. This VMUG is part of the world wide international VMUG organization and controlled by a board of VMware users called the Customer Council! So what does this mean? Lets make this absolutely clear, there is only one official VMUG in the Netherlands and that is NLVMUG.nl. Also, the yearly event in December (already announced for the 13th) is not an event by the Official Dutch VMUG. Personally I did not attend the VMUG event in 2012 as I do not want to support an event which is supposed to be a user group event but doesn’t come close to it, at least not what I perceive a user group to be. Both the Customer Council and VMware apparently agree with me on this, as on the announcement they state that neither of them will support or attend the December event that was announced. Het op vmug.nl aangekondigde evenement is geen officieel VMUG evenement, en zal dus ook niet gesteund en bezocht worden door de Customer Council of VMware. We zullen jullie zo snel mogelijk proberen te informeren over een evenement dat door de officiële Nederlandse VMUG, de Customer Council, VMware Benelux en natuurlijk de community (bloggers) zal worden gehouden. A couple of things before I wrap up this blog post with a call to action for all of my readers. First of all, I want to thank Ferry Limpens, Joep Piscaer, Viktor van den Berg, Dennis Hoegen Dijkhof, Robert van den Nieuwendijk, Laurens van Gunst, Sander Daems and Arjan Timmerman aka “The Customer Council” for taking this bold step. It is great to see that you guys are not afraid of change and are willing to take a risk. Congrats! Secondly, I would like to ask every single person who has ever attended a Dutch VMUG event to let all of their friends and colleagues know about these changes and sign up for the official VMUG using the link below! You can read it in Dutch on the official Dutch VMUG website: nlvmug.com. If you are on twitter, make sure to follow @nlvmug, and if you have a question / would like to present at a VMUG / help organizing… feel free to drop these guys an email: customercouncil@nlvmug.com. This is a user event, so try to participate, you are the community! Last, but not least, I would like to ask all of the Sponsors of the Dutch VMUG to contact the Customer Council to see how you can help taking this User Group to the next level. The official Dutch VMUG can use all the help they can get! SIGN UP NOW! Join the Official Dutch VMUG! "Big changes for the Dutch VMUG, show your support!" originally appeared on Yellow-Bricks.com.

It's been a month since the release of NTM 1.0.10., We are now working on our next version which has been guided by your valuable feedback. Below is snapshot on what we are considering....

As you may already know, almost a year ago we developed a tool called Devolutions Localizer, which allows users to translate RDM into different languages. So far, our amazing community has helped us translate RDM into German, Russian and Chinese (to go alongside our original English and French versions). Well, today we're thrilled to announce that the Italian version of RDM is now available! ...

Many organizations have hit the critical "scaling" stage of their virtualization initiatives - moving past simple consolidation initiatives and taking a "virtualization first" stance on IT expansion. Chances are that size, complexity, and dynamic workload demands are creating new challenges for operations staff, making if difficult to keep pace. ...

A tad overdue yes, but I've finally climbed out from under the stack of emails & projects that piled up while I was at the show. Now that I've got a moment to breathe I wanted to share my thoughts & impressions on Citrix Synergy 2013....
