VMware just published the second VMware Technical Journal. This winter edition contains great publications on topics like vProbes, Paravirtual vRDMA Devices, Cloud Tenant UI design process, Storage DRS and FrobOS. There is also a nice introduction by VMware’s CEO Pat Gelsinger. Simply to much to mention, I suggest you just download it… I think it is a great read and it gives an idea about some of the things VMware engineers work on.
I’ve read this several times by now, so I figured I would share it with you. Hopefully most of you will already be aware though at this point as several people blogged and tweeted about it.
The VMware Technical Journal is a new publication for the company. We are looking forward to producing future journal issues at regular intervals to highlight the R&D efforts taking place in several different areas of engineering. Our current issue includes papers related to distributed resource management, user experience monitoring, and statistics collection frameworks for virtualized environments, along with several other topics. In future issues we will highlight other areas of VMware R&D, including Cloud Application Platform and End User Computing, and research collaborations with academic partners.
All of the papers included in the tech journal can also be downloaded separately through the following links:
Worth reading believe me!
I’ve already put in the request to make these available as both mobi/epub.
A white paper which I have worked on extensively has just been published. The case study takes a design / architecture approach and lists design considerations, requirements and assumptions throughout the document. I want to thank the people who worked with me on this document: Aidan Dalgleish, Frank Denneman, Matthew Northam, Venky Deshpande and Cormac Hogan. Below you can find more details… don’t forget to download it! I made sure it was available in various formats so each and everyone of you can read it on its favorite device.
Source – Cloud Infrastructure Architecture Case Study
Description: The VMware Cloud Infrastructure Architecture Case Study Series was developed to provide an understanding of the various components of the VMware Cloud Infrastructure Suite. The goal is to explain how these components can be used in specific scenarios, which are based on real-world customer examples and therefore contain real-world requirements and constraints. The VMware Cloud Infrastructure Suite consists of five technologies that together expand the capabilities and value that customers can realize from a virtualized infrastructure. This case study focuses on vSphere 5.0 and vShield App 5.0.

I always enjoy reading the performance whitepapers. They are usually fairly technical and give you a better understanding of how the products work! All of these are most definitely worth downloading and reading! They been released a couple of days back. Check it out:
I had a lot of trouble finding the vSphere 5.0 What’s New whitepapers so I figured I would list all of them as I probably wouldn’t be the only one finding it challenging to get all of these. These are useful to quickly scan what has been introduced for a specific category. I would recommend reading these as it will give you a better understanding of what is coming up!
