VMworld: Got a ton of VMs? Now what?

This year VMworld tackles what happens when your VM (virtual machine) farm grows up and spawns hundreds or thousands of baby VMs. It used to be you fired up a bunch of VMs on a server (or your laptop) and that was it. The networking, storage, and perimeter of your new VM world were in one box. But what if you suddenly (or really over the years) have VM creep – where you find yourself the proud parent, er, administrator, of thousands of tiny VMs?
You go to VMworld and try to figure out what everyone else is doing. Lots of case studies by huge giant organizations are de rigueur here in SFO, but most of the thousands of feet attending belong to somewhat smaller enterprises trying to figure out what they have unwittingly wrought.
