Manuel Billmaier (mb-labs)

IT Guy with focus of datacenter infrastructure and cloud-automation combined together

Senior IT Consultant with more than 15 years of experience, now evolved into a Solution Architect for Cloud & Datacenter role, taking on Presales responsibilities. I have been responsible for technical designs and implementation standards in over a dozen customer projects across Europe, with a focus on HCI and virtualization at Computacenter. In customer projects and my own data center, I primarily focus on Datacenter and Software Defined – SDDC (VCF), Cloud Automation, End User Computing, and Container Technologies. I write blog articles and HowTos on VMware products. Occasionally, I am invited as a guest speaker at events to share my enthusiasm for VMware products. Starting now, I also work with other Datacenter products from companies like Nvidia, NetApp, Veeam, Cohesity, and more.

The intention of this website is not commercial at all and i would like to share with you my experiences from technical challenges and the solutions I have encountered in my projects.
