[Fwd: Additional VMware Assistance]

[Joe]

Check this out.  Five free copies and a live lug presentation!

I don't really have time to pursue this, but it sure does look worthwhile.

BTW, I signed up for their referral program and if you want to buy from 
them I can get a referral code for you for a 5% discount.  You may be 
able to get it cheaper elsewhere.  I haven't looked.

Dear Joseph, We hope you are enjoying your VMware Workstation. We wanted 
to let you know that as part of the VMware LUG Program, you are also 
entitled to additional personalized assistance in communicating the 
benefits of your VMware software usage to your LUG. Many of our LUG 
Presidents are finding that their members are very interested in 
discussing VMware software at their LUG meetings. At your request VMware 
will send a team to your LUG meeting that can teach your members about 
VMware software in a variety of environments, give a live demonstration, 
and answer any technical questions your team may have about the 
products. You choose the topic, for example: Streamlining Software 
development, testing, and deployment * Creating multiple development and 
testing environments on a single system * Building mission-critical 
Linux-based applications * Archiving test environments on file servers 
and restore them quickly Ensuring Application compatibility and 
operating system migration * Supporting legacy applications while 
migrating safely to a new operating system * Testing new operating 
systems in secure, clean virtual machines prior to deployment * 
Eliminating the need to port legacy applications Partitioning and 
Consolidating Server Systems * Continuously consolidate workloads * 
Instant provisioning * Zero-downtime maintenance * Scaling hardware and 
software infrastructure. * Streamlining testing and deployment. * 
Delivering high availability and guarantee service levels Please poll 
your LUG to find out if your group is interested in learning about 
VMware software. If you are interested in having VMware speak at your 
LUG meeting, please contact us at lug at vmware.com and we will work with 
you to set up the details.
