Episode 8 of the VIRTUMANIA Podcast was great! Marc and I team up again with Rick Vanover for a conversation with Vaughn Stewart of  NetApp. The following is the podcast summary:

VIRTUMANIA Podcast Episode 8 – Barbecue SMT Architecture Plate. Hosted by Rich Brambley (@rbrambley) of VMETC. Marc Farley (@3parfarley) of 3Par and StorageRap.com co hosts with guests Rick Vanover (@rickvanover www.rickvanover.com) and Vaughn Stewart (@vstewed http://blogs.netapp.com/virtualstorageguy/) of NetApp. After some general fun about Infosmack’s activities at SNW last week and the upcoming NetApp vs EMC debate scheduled for this year’s Charlotte VMUG in June, the conversation segues from the different types of regional barbecue in the Southeastern U.S. to Secure Multi Tennancy Architecture. Various technologies that make up SMT from VMware, Cisco, NetApp, and even other storage company’s solutions that can create similar multi tennancy scenarios are touched upon. An example is developed of an IT department responsible for various barbecue “departments” on a secure, isolated, but consolidated virtual infrastructure. This episode is sure to leave you hungry for more! Thanks to Greg Knieriemen (@knieriemen) for this Infosmack Production.

Farley gets Greg Knieriemen to laugh again and wins 1,000 VIRTUMANIA Bucks. Rick needs help securing the Rickatron.com domain, and the whole crew doubts my reference to Alabama BBQ styles.
