Free EMC ViPR (software defined storage) download, no time limit, full version!

Noticed this on one of the blogs I follow:

For FREE, full version EMC ViPR available for download. | VMwaremine - Mine of knowledge about virtualization!

Now you can lab up with enterprise grade storage abstraction! Looks like VMware's VSAN at first glance, I'll throw it on my lab once I have had enough of labbing up SRM 5.5. Will post my experience then.

Interesting, thanks for posting this. I didn't know what software defined storage was (the next big thing apparently!), so I found a few useful YouTube videos about ViPR...

Decent links there mate, helpful to get people started. SDDC is definitely a big thing - a number of companies are onto it like there's no tomorrow!

I just wanted to throw my thanks out for the links / info, excited to look into this further once i finish all my VCP5 studies in my 5.5 lab.

I would like to thank Essendon for the Link, although I've downloaded it, I still haven't touched it.

Just a heads up to let people know there is an hour and a half course that's currently free to do about ViPR Fundamentals on the EMC website at the moment. I've tried to check out but had to setup a user name and the server isn't responding but maybe on another day it'll be available to purchase for free. No idea what it's like but I will be looking to go through it once I can complete the purchase.
