Managing VMware: Tips & Tricks
I had the great pleasure of co-hosting one of Hyperic’s regular webinar series with Jonathan Bryce and Jason Bartels from Mosso. I have spent quite a bit of time with these guys over the past couple months, as Jonathan worked with me to build a case study. Through that experience, I became totally intrigued with how these guys set themselves up. Mosso is a division of Rackspace that helps folks build websites fast, and make sure everything is always running. They guarantee 100% uptime, which is cool. They get scale. When I first met Jonathan in late September, his company was hosting 25,000 websites. Now he’s hosting 35,000. They get how to run about 200 different technologies (in my estimation, and yes, it may be exagerrating - but only a bit) . They get virtualization - they use it to make sure that they can quickly deploy more horsepower to a site when it gets hit by Slashdot, Digg and Reddit all in one hour.
