VMTN Subscription – Shout out Loud


Yes, it would be great.

Mike Laverick has launched on his blog a shout out about VMTN Subscription. You can read his post here. Me as an independent blogger, I’m fully behind, since I see the benefit there for the VMware users, for the VMware community and for every user which wants to test the VMware Technology on daily basics without being stuck with 60 days trial.

Yes, I know there is the ESXi Free version, but to do some serious work and serious testing in the home lab or at your enterprise, without running production workflows, you need more than 60 days for different products of the VMware Virtualization Suite.

The benefit here would be for everybody.

So I just re-hash and re-blog the original idea which I hope will became a real discussion…..

I’m just an average guy like you, trying to help with an original idea which is certainly worthy to stand behind.

Even if my English isn’t perfect and my posts from time to time would need some more time before gets published, I’m trying to stick with a daily posting frequence, which is not easy, especially if you have a Daily Job. I know that and I’m working on it…

2012 will be full of changes for me and for ESX Virtualization, that’s all I can tell you now.

Feel free to re-tweet if you don’t have a blog or website. Feel free to comment. Feel free to discuss…  Make some NOISE about this.

UPDATE: After a week since Mike has brought the idea on the table, there has been some great reactions on the VMTN forum and in the bloggosphere:
