It’s been about 9 months since I published my own set of Visio shapes for VMware vSphere and Horizon View. The VMware Visio stencils have been quite popular, with the pages that host them seeing more than 37,000 page views since I first published them. I’ve since updated both stencils with new shapes and diagrams as I’ve worked on different projects at Clearpath. Most of the changes are in the Horizon View Visio Stencil, with new shapes and diagrams. I included some hand-drawn shapes for Horizon View for some fun whiteboard like diagrams that I’ll be using in some posts very soon – the image to the left is a quick peek at what the hand drawn ones look like. I also added shapes for Persona Management and ThinApp repositories, a Transfer Server shape, and a few client access device shapes.
Both updated stencils are linked below for download in Visio 2013 .vssx format:
And by request, here are the same stencils in Visio 2003-2010 .vss format:
If you need another format, leave a comment below and I’ll see what I can do.

ViPR is EMC’s solution for Software Defined Storage (SDS), helping to round out the EMC² family’s (EMC, VMware, Pivotal, RSA) Software Defined Data Center (SDDC) vision.

Since being unveild at EMC World, I’ve heard some confusion in social media circles over what exactly ViPR is – along the lines of ‘ask 10 people what ViPR is and get 10 different answers’. To try to clear up some confusion, here is a brief overview of ViPR… [Continue Reading on Clearpath's Blog]
Interested in learning more about the joint EMC-VMware Pivotal startup? Yesterday at EMC World 2013, Pivotal CEO Paul Maritz took the stage for a keynote to talk a bit about what Pivotal is, why it matters, and how the combination of EMC and VMware assets (think Greenplum, vFabric, GemFire, SQLFire) have already produced products for customers’ most demanding big data / fast data challenges. I’ve got a quick write-up published on Clearpath’s Blog, with some pictures on how the combined products from both EMC and VMware fit into the Pivotal initiative. Continue reading…
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again – it’s awesome working for an awesome company that supports the greater EMC, VMware and Cisco communities. The inaugural class of EMC Elect are finding the custom shirts that Clearpath had made for them at EMC World. The shirts are just one of our ways of saying thanks to the EMC Elect for their contributions to the EMC community. If you are one of the EMC Elect, make sure you stop by the Bloggers area at EMC World to pick up your custom shirt!
