Earlier this week I found out that VMware is discontinuing Lab Manager and pushing people to their cloud management product called vCloud Director. I won't go into specifics about what these are, but just venting that they told us when we bought it mid 2010 that they didn't think it would be replaced by this product. Now I've got yet another project on my plate to migrate this to the new tool - not a simple task I might add. If you've ever looked at the docs for it, you will know that it involves a small army of planning teams to get the storage, networking and database resources setup in most organizations, and we're only planning to put it on our Corp network, I can't imagine how much it would take to put out it in a production network where all the firewalls and subnets need to be setup.
Good thing I'm a true nerd and I'm actually looking forward to this since it's technology I've never touched before. I always jump at the chance to learn something new.
