Tomorrow's news today that's BriForum 2008. Together with 20 other speakers I joined the BriForum crew this year. It's really an honor to be part of this impressive list of awesome presenters and it's great to learn from these experts!
This year I gave three presentations: Hyper-V unleashed, Streaming Smackdown 2008 Edition and Top10 challenges with SoftGrid (and other application virtualization solutions). These presentations can be downloaded from Virtuall, hopefully that makes sense!

Presentation #1, Hyper-V unleased can be downloaded here: http://www.virtuall.nl/seminars/BriForum2008/BriForum08HyperVunLeashed.pdf

Presentation overview:

  • Microsoft Virtualization 360
  • Virtualization within WS08
  • Hyper-V benefits and disadvantages
  • Managing Hyper-V and ESX with System Center Virtual Machine Manager
  • 'War of the Virtual worlds'

Presentation #2, Streaming Smackdown 2008 Edition can be downloaded here: http://www.virtuall.nl/seminars/BriForum2008/BriForum08StreamingSmackdown2008.pdf

Presentation overview:

  • Application and Desktop delivery solutions overview
  • Application Streaming (Endeavors Application jukebox)
  • Application Virtualization (Microsoft App-V, Altiris SVS, Citrix XenApp client side virtualization, Thinstall, InstallFree and Xenocode)
  • Application Analysis (AppDNA)

At BriForum alot presenters and experts submitted there baby photos and 'fun facts' so Brian Madden could create a nice presentation for the attendees. After some searching in old photo books I found a nice picture of myself which fits great in the streaming smackdown session http://www.virtuall.nl/seminars/BriForum2008/BriForum08StreamingSmackdown2008.jpg

Presentation #3. Top10 challenges with SoftGrid (and other application virtualization solutions) can be downloaded here: http://www.virtuall.nl/seminars/BriForum2008/BriForum08Top10challengeswithSGandOthers.pdfShawn Bass was also heavily involved in creating and presenting this session.

Presentation overview:

  • OS/Shell integration
  • Core 'vs' Virtuall
  • IE, WMP and Plugins
  • Services and drivers
  • Sequencer gotchas
  • Troubleshooting
  • High Availability
  • Branch Office

These three BriForum days were awesome and both from technical and personal point of view worth visiting. CU next time!?
