Join Me as I Share My Home Lab Journey.

Role: Speaker
Topic: From Zero to Home Lab Hero: A Scottish VMUG Success Story.
Brief Introduction: My Journey as a Home Labber – from acquiring my first server, to spending months figuring out its cooling and quieting, and recognizing the profound impact it had on my career. See how my setup has evolved over time, my foray into Cloud Gaming with VMware Horizon, the unfortunate scam encounter with an eBay seller, and a glimpse into what a €45,000 home lab looks like.

Background: Scottish VMUG was established in 2011 and has about 150 members.
Mission: A modern-day hub for virtualization enthusiasts, VMUG is the junction where VMware enthusiasts come together. Just as Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak once unveiled the Apple I at the Homebrew Computer Club, VMUG becomes the stage for today’s brightest cloud service hobbyists and IT enthusiasts. Through rigorous knowledge-sharing, training, and collaboration, VMUG is not only dedicated to empowering its members to harness the power of VMware and associated solutions but also echoes the very spirit of innovation and community. Dive in, share, learn, and be a part of the legacy.

Learning Opportunities and Networking: At a local VMUG event, you’ll truly grasp the nuances of cloud computing, home labs, data centers, and servers. Collaborate with experts, enhance practical skills, and network with folks who’ve been there, done that, all in a community that’s just as passionate about virtualization as you are.
