With more than 17,000 registrants , VMworld 2010 is the largest and most successful VMworld ever . No surprise , as we know that the virtualization wave keeps growing and growing -- Servers, network, storage, desktops, virtualization is everywhere -- And Cisco with a close partnership with VMware is definitely at the cutting  edge of this wave with a lot of significant innovations and a tied integration between the two companies.

As a new  proof point, Cisco won a Best of VMworld 2010 award in the hardware virtualization category with the Cisco Nexus 7000 Overlay Transportation Virtualization  solution 

For  the last Cisco Daily Blogger Minute for VMworld 2010  I invited today our friends Stuart Miniman, Wikibon Senior Analyst  and VMware Ernesto Tey to join Cisco JMichel Metz to talk about the importance of the partner ecosystem that Cisco and VMware are creating and the results in terms of innovation, and integration 

In terms of innovations, and partnership between Cisco and VMware , here are a couple of  recent announcements from Cisco  that you want to consider
