eGroup rocked the Charlotte VMUG on the CPCC West Campus last Friday, and gave attendees a different kind of VMUG. For the juicy technical details, see <a href="http://blogs.egroup.jasonmangone.com/?p=2626">previous post</a>.

A big THANK YOU to those who joined us, + experienced first hand what was a truly awesome event. The collaborative hands-on technical session provided a great platform for interactive discussion and questions, and as a result of high demand (you ask, we deliver!) we have posted a diagram of the <a href="http://www.facebook.com/eGroupInc#!/photo.php?pid=298837&amp;fbid=153281584705288&amp;id=123766450990135">UCS lab configuration</a> on our <a href="http://www.facebook.com/eGroupInc">Facebook page</a>.  We encourage you to “like” our page so you can be in the loop on future events and for information sharing purposes. You will also find a short video from the event, as well as other fun eGroup tidbits.

<div>As a follow-up to what we delivered Friday, and to help our clients realize the potential benefits of the ongoing adoption of virtualization, we have developed the following service offerings:</div>
<strong>VMware Performance Review</strong>

As a Premier VMware partner, we combine the standard VMware partner tools with our real-world implementation experience (both VMware and storage) in order to deep dive into your current VM environment and help you maximize your investment. VMware Performance Reviews provide third-party validation of a critical infrastructure component, and often uncover multiple items that can be adjusted for increased reliability, performance, or ease of use.

<strong>VMware Virtualization Desktop Infrastructure Pilot</strong>

This consulting engagement is designed to provide a pilot installation, configuration, and integration for up to 25 virtual desktops in your environment. As part of the engagement, you will receive a VMware Professional Services Virtual Desktop Manager and its perpetual license for mapping users to virtual desktops, tracking usage, scheduling sessions, and provisioning from templates.

The eGroup engineering team has the hands-on experience and expertise to help your organization maximize your virtualization initiatives.
