Before ... After

If you like this video pls go to http://video.vmware.com/kickapps/service/displayMediaPlayPage.kickAction?medi... and vote for me.


The clip is about using VmWare tecnology to set up an IT lab... before virtualization the IT guys have to check for each hardware and to manually set up the servers. Those tasks has always required a big effort. Now, with VmWare, adding disks, memory and network interfaces is "just a click away". Deploying multiple machines is matter of minutes and not matter of hours. Virtualization bring also a cost saving / greening view of Information Technology lowering power consumption and lowering the need for cooling. In my clip all those subject are described in two different parts: "Before", where mess, use of multiple power cords, mice, keyboards, monitors, time expensive manual tasks in adding hardware and setting up networking are recorded; "After", where all the tasks are done with a single interface on a workstation.

Soundtrack is courtesy from "The Shadow Line", an emerging Italian band, that gives me the authorization to use the two songs. The first piece is named "Take the long" and the second piece is named "The last day of disco". Please have a look to their site http://www.theshadowline.it/ where you can download their free mp3.
