Honeywells Next Generation Platform powered by Dell FX2 and VMware vSAN
I wished over these past years I could blog in technical detail about all the great things I’ve experienced working for VMware. A big part of my job as a VMware TAM is being a trusted advisor and helping VMware Embedded OEM Partners build products they can resell to their customers. These past years I’ve worked directly with Honeywell Process Solutions to build a better offering. The entire team (Honeywell, Dell, and VMware) have been working tirelessly to make this product great. It’s been a long haul with so many late nights and deadlines but we were all proud to see this product be released.
The Honeywell Dell VMware Solution I helped Honeywell to create went on to win multiple awards.
- 2016 VMware award for OEM Partner Innovation
- 2017 TAM Customer award for Emerging Technology & Trends
- Q4-2017 Americas Co-Innovation
- 2018 WWKO ‘Best Co-Innovation’ Global Accounts
Just before VMworld 2017 Michael Dell tweeted about the great work we had all accomplished and released a video.
Passed VMware Certified Professional 6 – Data Center Virtualization Delta Exam 2V0-621D
I passed my VCP 6 – DCV Delta Exam today! Here are some of my notes around it.
- The test was 65 Questions and you have 75 Minutes to complete it, I had about 30 Mins left.
- I did get several configuration maximum questions. The questions were more around applying the known maximums vs. just memorizing the data points.
- I did get some Virtual SAN , vROPS, and LOTS of questions around Lockdown mode
- Know your licensing Models and what features belong to what.
- Lots of questions around iSCSI, FCoE, APD, Path loss, PSP Modes
- Know all about SSO, Authentication types, and don’t forget those newer features like Content Library
- Make sure you review vSphere Replication and those always fun resource pools
- Know your command line tools – esxcli and the like
- In general, questions seem to be straight to the point vs. lengthy paragraphs
- I followed the blueprint, read my documents, and made sure I read every ‘Note’ section
