Author: Michael White
I am Michael White. I started out in this industry with professional services at a Canadian partner a very long time ago. It was a great time and I learned a lot. I started with VMware products there as well. I joined VMware in January of 2007 and left in December of 2013. I finished with Integration Engineering in R&D which is the customer[0] organization that tries to build and test like customers to find issues before customers do. In late 2007 I started a Notes from VMware private newsletter. In 2013 when I left VMware there was approximately 1400 people on that list. That newsletter has turned into this web site. The goal of this web site, like the newsletter, is to share technology ideas and thoughts and make technology more accessible.
In January of 2014 I started with a start-up by the name of DataGravity that I think will do great things! You can see more about that here. On February 3rd 2016 I left DataGravity and on April 18th 2016 I joined Veeam as a Global Technical Evangelist in the Global Marketing organization. I will be working on a yet to be released product by the name of Veeam Availability Orchestrator (VOA). In June of 2017 I became a product manager at Veeam. Very exciting.

Home Lab Information Management
Someone the other day asked on Slack how people manage their home labs. I said I had a system and that I might write about it, or do a VMUG session on it as I quite like it. Then someone said they wanted me to do that, and then I realized today I had an … Continue reading Home Lab Information Management
