Plain Virtualization

The year of 2024 is coming to an end. VMUG Singapore had hosted few events this year and it has been fruitful. They are not stopping there.  Starting 2025, VMUG Singapore is hosting their first event in 2025 on 14th Jan. Do register to join us. This year I am helping out for this event as a former VMware employee. This time round for a start we are doing something very different. 1.

Today marks my last working day in this great company, VMware. Starting as a sales engineer coming from a delivery background in 27 Dec 2011 to managing a country team of 15 solution architects was a magnificent milestone.

I started this blog when I was doing technical implementation and design back in IBM days. The term always use is Post Sales engineer/consultant. It was held up and I never get to start anything until I left and joined BT Frontline which is the now British Telecom.

Since then, I decided to share what I have learned if not I would not have gain as much as I have. That very year, I got an opportunity at VMware and join the company as a System Engineer which industry term it as Presales engineer. It was my dream company and I never looked back since. I carry on to share what I learned without any plan in my career. J...
