About Brian: I’m a Senior Implementation Engineer working for Ahead specializing in VMware and Cisco UCS. I spend my days working with customers to Design and Implement solutions around VMware technologies, VDI, Cisco UCS and related technologies. I’ve worked in the IT Industry since 1991. I use this blog to document things that I encounter during my work and stuff I read about. It’s always helped me to write things down when it comes to remembering them long term. I’m a VMware Certified Professional (VCP VI3.5 & VTSP 4) MCSE on Windows NT – 2000, Cisco CCNA/CCDA. My interest is in all virtualization and storage related technologies.
I am actively involved with the Chicago VMUG (VMware users group) and assist with the planning and preparation of the meetings. Chicago VMUG

About Mike: Can be found in and around Kuwait currently doing contract work for the DoD. Additionally designing mobile labs for road warriors *like myself* has become a favored hobby! With my VCP 4, I had originally started to work toward my VCAP-DCA. But due to the nature of my current line of work (and Netapp storage being a big focus), I will be pursuing Netapp’s certification offerings. I can be reached at reverseninja [at] gmail.com.
