The Evolution of Virtualization: Anand, Intel & VMWare Chat on Video


<p>
For those of you who read the <a href="http://www.anandtech.com/show/2937">RV870</a> and <a href="http://www.anandtech.com/video/showd...469">RV770</a> stories, you&#39;ll know the sort of information that can come out of a meeting with experts in the industry. Carrell Killebrew is a unique example because he&#39;s the type of person who is not only a master of his field, but does a great job telling stories.</p>
<p>
I&#39;ve had the pleasure of working with a handful of these types of people in the industry. Folks like Pat Gelsinger, Jonah Alben and Ronak Singhal to name a few. Unfortunately, it&#39;s usually very rare that I get to write about most of what we talk about in these sorts of meetings. The most interesting details are usually too sensitive to let out and even if they&#39;re not, PR is usually too nervous to let one of these discussions proceed openly. Carrell was the first exception, and I&#39;m working to try and make more things like that happen in the future.</p>
<p>
One opportunity presented itself a few months ago that is finally coming to fruition. Intel and VMWare want to have a discussion about virtualization and where it&#39;s headed. They want to do it live on camera. And they want to do it with me.&nbsp;</p>
<p>
I told them that it&#39;s only interesting if we can get a couple of these types of folks. Masters of their domain, certified genius types to partake in the discussion. I wanted it to be good. And I wanted to be able to talk, live, uncensored, about their respective roadmaps and what sort of stuff we can expect in the next 5 - 10 years. I even wanted to talk about GPU virtualization.</p>

It looks like it&#39;s going to happen. &nbsp;In two weeks I&#39;ll fly to Portland for the fireside chat between myself, Rich Brunner (Chief Platform Architect for VMWare) and Rich Uhlig (Intel Fellow &amp; Chief Architect). No PR, no one limiting questions, just a behind the scenes look at what these sorts of discussions look like. A day in the life of an AT editor in one of those mythical meetings I&#39;m always talking about.</p>
<p>
If you&#39;re interested in seeing how it all works and care about virtualization at all (and where it&#39;s headed), <a href="http://mediazone.brighttalk.com/even...19-intro">head over to this page to register</a> for the chat. The more support we can get, the more of these types of opportunities we&#39;re going to be able to convince folks to do in the future so signing up does help.</p>
<p>
For now, it&#39;s back to finishing up this iPad review </p>
