Manuel Billmaier (mb-labs)
IT Guy with focus of datacenter infrastructure and cloud-automation combined together
Cloud Architect with over 15 years of experience, 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 working at different IT Companies within the last years. In customer projects and my own Solution-Lab, I primarily focus on data center 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 several years ago, I also work with other data center 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.
