My name is Forbes Guthrie and I’m a systems engineer & infrastructure architect specializing in virtualization and storage. In 2010 I was awarded VMware’s luminary award, the vExpert designation. I am the lead author of the VMware vSphere Design book.
This website is aggregated on Planet V12n, but you can get the latest news via the vReference RSS feed and my twitter page @forbesguthrie.
Based in Vancouver, I’ve worked across the globe. I’m always on the lookout for interesting virtualization work. Please get in touch if you, or someone you know, is looking for a specialist in their datacenter.
