Hello Hany, I have not been to your site for a while, but i am still wowed by those fantastic diagrams of vSphere 4.
Will there would be some vSphere 5 versions of these in the hopefully not too distant future?

Thanks for the excellent artwork

Love your architect diagram. But where do you get stencil for the VMware vDS stuff? I have access to VMware partner website, and I can't find them anywhere.

Hany,

Love your website! How do you create your diagrams? I know how to create layers in visio but when I save it as a pdf the layers never show up. Do I have to have Adobe Acrobat to do this?

Hi Hashmi,

Many thanks for the kind comment. Everything is fine at my end, I’ve been just quite busy in the quarter, but hopefully I will allocate more time for blogging soon.

Again, thanks for the note, much appreciated.

Hany, Your diagram work is a piece of art! I am referring to this http://www.hypervizor.com/2009.... My jaw dropped when I saw it. I can sit and admire it all day long, and I'm SURE that others would appreciate it too. Would you mind sharing your creation at xenmaster.com? Feel free to link back to Hypervizor.com, the world needs to know!

Thank you Robert for your kind words :)
I've checked the IT Blueprints site and it's really cool idea! i tried to upload the diagram, but it seems that it's not accepting PDF. Why don;t you go ahead and add them directly yourself? would be honored to be part of this site.

Hi Hany,

Your knowledge and blog site is awesome. I read it all the time. Just to say, I hope the Dubai collapse does not affect you?.

Hi Bob,

Thanks for your comment! Actually the comments here on the About page was disabled, but I guess when I installed the Disqus comments plugin it was enabled by itself. Apparently I should have enabled that long time back :)

I don’t live in Dubai, although there is a possibility that I might move there ;) I’m based in Qatar, but in all cases Dubai hasn’t been affected as much as you think. Believe it or not, I’m not just getting job opportunities everyday, I’m also helping many corps here in Qatar to find suitable candidates for openings related to the virtualization industry in general, and VMware in particular.

Thanks again for your nice comment :)
