I am just back from three days of deep technical training at the Q Center in St. Charles, Ill.    The Q Center is a first class business conference facility located just outside Chicago, Ill.   It was Sun Microsystems sponsored with classroom and hands on sessions.  The event included an evening dedicated to our partners to showcase their new products and solutions.   Some of the partners showing their newest technology included VMware, LSI Logic, IBM, HP, Brocade, and many others.

 

I attended sessions from both AMD and Intel which detailed their current processor offerings with a peek at their future road maps.   Other very good sessions included identity management deployment best practices and a virtualization hands on lab.

 

Much of the excitement at this event had to do with several recent announcements made by Sun Microsystems:

    Sun Microsystems and VMware Announce OEM Agreement

    Sun Microsystems Announces Completion of MySQL Acquisition

    Sun Announces Availability of Sun xVM Ops Center

    Sun Microsystems Announces Agreement to Acquire innotek (VirtualBox)

If you get a chance check out the VirtualBox with DSL.   It works!
