Virtual Southwest is me, Mike Armstrong. I am a Sr Reliability Engineer at VMware, currently working on the VMware Cloud on Amazon Web Services Team. I have been in the "IT" industry for over 20 years. In that time I have been a network engineer, mainly with Cisco products, and a Microsoft MCSE/MCITP specializing on Exchange and SQL Servers. I started working with VMware on ESX version 3.0 and Lab Manager. During my time as a consultant, I introduced the benefits of virtualization to many companies throughout the southwest.
