As announced, virtualization.info is here at VMworld Europe 2008 in Cannes to live blog during the opening keynotes for the first two days.

Diane Greene, VMware Founder and CEO, is on stage.

She starts introducing the virtualization phenomenon, the VMware historm, results and technology evolution, along with some major customers case studies (today the company has more than 100,000 customers worldwide).

To further validate the customers portfolio, Greene calls on stage one of the biggest case study: British Telecom.
BT deployed VMware technology over 11 datacenters (+900 platforms) worldwide and it’s using it to re-provision workloads across the globe, to delivery virtual desktops to travelling users, to achieve automated disaster recovery.

The approach taken so far seems to assume that the European audience is pretty new to virtualization and still needs basic evangelization.

Chekc out this post which is covering the VMWorld Event, very cool, it’s set to be an interesting event, it will be interesting to see what announcements are made and what new products come along - we’ll have to see.
