Here it is folks, vChat Episode 3! This week Eric Siebert, David Davis and myself discuss VMware vSphere Home & SMB Labs. This is a topic that Eric (vSphere-Land.com) and I along with Simon Gallagher of vinf.net will be discussing at the upcoming VMworld (San Francisco) event – Session V18328 “Building an affordable vSphere environment for a lab or small business” (Monday 30th August @ 12:00pm).  There are so many topic areas to cover when discussing building a successful vSphere lab though we managed to cover off most of the key areas (I think).  Feedback and comments, as always, most welcome.  Hope you enjoy and find it of use.
