Pardon The Interrupt, but I'm asking for your vote to get a completely new type of session into VMworld this year.
We will have an expert panel of people from Cisco, Dell, StorSimple and VMware all together on stage to cover all VMworld topics. That's right. All. Topics.
VMworld 2012 session # 1913 - Pardon The Interrupt: VMworld Expert Panel on Everything
You might ask - "How it is possible to cover all topics in a single session?"
It's the format of the session. We will use the same format as the ESPN show Pardon The Interruption. We will have the list of topics. The panel will get to discuss each topic for a limited amount of time and when the bell goes off we move to the next topic. Pardon the Interruption does some serious and some not so serious sports topics. Pardon The Interrupt will do some serious and some not so serious VMworld topics.
Here are a couple of examples of ESPN's Pardon the Interruption. (I will not be wearing a Turkey costume at VMworld)
Now imagine this format with a great expert panel that is willing to have fun but also has the right background to cover the all topics.
Here's the people on the panel:
Marc Farley from StorSimple is a storage industry insider, author of multiple books on network storage, blogger at DataOnTop, and co-founder of InfoSmack and RUN! podcasts.
Scott Hanson is @CiscoServerGeek and has worked with x86 servers for almost 20 years and presented on topics ranging from supercomputing to systems management. Scott also is an excellent poker player (at least that's what I heard).
Kong Yang is the resident Virtualization vExpert at Dell. Kong and I co-presented at VMworld 2007 when Exchange was the Final Frontier and people were still nervous about virtualizing their domain controllers.
I'm the final member of the panel. I'm a performance engineer at VMware that tries to pull as many things as possible into my job description. I've presented at four of the last five VMworlds on a variety of topics. I blog here and on VROOM!. I'm also the host / creator of VROOM! Videos and sit next to Kong every week on on So Say SMEs video series.

I promise that it won't be a gutter ball performance.
