About Jason Boche Jason Boche is a Senior Systems Engineer with a lifetime of personal computer, server, network, and datacenter experience. Introduced to VMware Workstation in 2001, his curiosity in x86 virtualization grew rapidly. Realizing the benefit and potential virtualization has to offer, he moved on to VMware GSX Server and eventually ESX for lab environments, as well as to meet recovery time objectives in challenging offsite Disaster Recovery exercises. In 2005 Jason attended the inaugural Minneapolis VMware User Group (VMUG) meeting and in 2006 he became the group’s leader. He continues to lead the Minneapolis VMUG group today holding quarterly meetings around the Twin Cities. Jason started a VMware virtualization blog in the fall of 2008 and in February 2009 was recognized by VMware as an inaugural vExpert for his contributions to the VMware community. Today Jason works for a large company in the Midwest, and with a team of others, deploys and manages a large VMware virtual infrastructure consisting of 2,500 VMs. That number will grow to 6,000 VMs in the year 2010 and that represents just 1/3 of the datacenter and virtualization potential. Jason lives happily with his wonderful wife, a daughter and son, and two Cavalier King Charles Spaniel dogs. Follow Jason: Blog  Twitter
