Novell Virtualization Tour updates

Novell Virtualization TourI attended Novell’s 7 in 7 Virtualization Road Show on Thursday. It took place in Berjaya Times Square Hotel. I was one of the early birds and I watched as the crowd came in and register and then had their breakfast. The breakfast was served in the local manner so I couldn’t enjoy it very much except the tea.

Overall, presenters talk pretty much the same things but in other words and with different approach. Mr. from Novell, I forgot their names, did a welcome speech and threw some linux penguins in to the audience.

The presenter from IBM made everybody feel asleep right after the breakfast. It was boring and I couldn’t understand much from his Indian accent. I wonder if he did prepare for this event, because I saw him only read the presentation slides from the screen. I’m sure there’s no point in the presentation if you are going to do that. We can read that kind of information in the websites, thanks to Internet. Other people generally was quite the same, except that AMD guy who made a great presentation and explained why would we chose AMD over Intel. It was a good marketing pitch also!

Novell called this tour as Virtualization 7 in 7, meaning there were 7 alliances in this - AMD, Dell, Fujitsu, HP, IBM, Intel and Novell.

Personally, the stuff they talked about was not very new for me. I wish Novell did a hands on experiments and showed us how it all works in real life. This would be more resourceful for attendees. Otherwise, it was all one way communication.

I wasn’t lucky win iPod, SLES watches, T-Shirts or even the penguin toys. :(
