Back in Feb­ru­ary 2011 I was invited, along with my IT Man­ager, to do a pre­sen­ta­tion at Dig­i­tal Ship Scan­di­navia 2011.

Dig­i­tal Ship mag­a­zine has now pub­lished an arti­cle based on what we pre­sented at the live event. As far as I can gather, based on the feed­back both at the event and after­wards, the pre­sen­ta­tion was a suc­cess and now the Dig­i­tal Ship Mag­a­zine for April 2011 includes a two page arti­cle based on the entire presentation.

I was not aware that they would do this, if so I clearly would have changed the the mis­con­cep­tions in the “For instal­la­tion we use the VMware Hyper­vi­sor on Win­dows Server 2008 R2 and put a Vir­tual Machine on top of that” “quote”, since that is wrong on sev­eral lev­els. Other than that, the arti­cle high­lights all the impor­tant take-away points from our pre­sen­ta­tion, so if you’re inter­ested in man­ag­ing and installing IT infra­struc­tures on remote and float­ing loca­tions, have a read!

Down­load the Dig­i­tal Ship Mag­a­zine April 2011, and have a look at page 10–13 for the arti­cle called “From ‘lightly chaotic’ to strictly stan­dard­ised — onboard net­works”.

Thanks to Maish Saidel-Keesing, vEx­pert 2010 and blog­ger over at Techn­odrone I have been made aware that VMware has used one of my posts here on vNinja in their inter­nal pre­sen­ta­tion material.

The mate­r­ial in ques­tion is vSphere 4.1 to 4.0 dif­fer­ences (page 44 and 45 in vSphere 4.1 Deep Dive — Part 1 — v6.pptx), where my post about Using USB Pass-through in vSphere 4.1 is quoted and my screen­shots used. I guess no-one else had tested USB passthrough in vSphere 4.1 with USB based UPS setups before I did.

While I think this is great, and I’m really hon­ored that my con­tent here can be used as inter­nal VMware resources, I must say that I would have loved to be noti­fied, and asked, by Iwan Rahabok when he cre­ated the mate­r­ial. Iwan did pro­vide links and source attri­bu­tion in his pre­sen­ta­tion, but a direct mes­sage from him would have been great as well.
