It's that time of the year again where the Top Virtualization Blog of 2015 voting has started. This is a great way to show your appreciation to all the bloggers that take the time and effort to put together great content to help out the community. Each year, I try my best (time willing) to put quality posts that I know will help out the community as much as possible and also do my best at answering any technical questions that might come up on my blog. I can tell you that it is not easy to constantly keep the blogging going, there has been times when I'd be swamped with work and personal life, but no matter how busy things get, I always try to post something.
With that said, I've nominated my blog for Best independent blogger (Can't work for VMware or a hardware/software vendor) so hopefully if my blog did help you guys out in any way, that you would so kindly vote over at the Top vBlog 2015 page.
As the title states, VMware has given access to the public to go ahead and download the vSphere 6.0 Public Beta and let the community evaluate and help make the product better. You can go ahead and download it here.
When I first heard, I honestly thought one thing, finally! I've been a vEpxert for two years now, and as some of you know, being a vExpert has it's perks, such as trying out new software before they're released to the public. However, this is only available to a very few and not all vEpxerts have the time to evaluate new products that VMware releases. Giving access to the public is a good move in my eyes, and I think that this will also give the opportunity to other IT professionals who are not vEpxerts a chance to play with the beta product and contribute with suggestions for future builds. I hope that moving forward, VMware will continue with this strategy.
