Packaging ideas along with the product- Possibilities : Virtualization at all layers of the OSI reference model.
- Finding possibilities of using VMware technology on each of these layers.
- Customer scenarios related to each of them.
- Chalking out new areas / methods for increasing the productivity / efficiency of an existing virtualized platform.
- Providing simple, yet highly efficient solutions based on virtualization, to solve frequent issues faced by customer.
- Feasibility of the solution should be within a chalk point.
- Nurturing ideas / solutions for future enhancements on existing platforms for customer satisfaction.
- Updating customers with new ideas which are tested and certified, on a routine basis, along with patches, if needed.
- And many more

DMZ on DVD
The entire set of VMs and its configuration data can be put on a single DVD. The deployment of the solution is only a click away. The VMs will be generalized and only the configuration data varies between
setups. Configurations can be stored centralized location and can be made accessible
to the all the setups of a datacenter. The VM network within an ESX can be represented as an XML, and hence we
can save the network setup in a portable format. Drag and drop GUI can help is managing the VMs on the virtual network. The
configurations needs to be altered automatically. Configuration data can be generated using a wizard and are stored in portable
format (say XML). The entire network along with it’s configuration can be backed up for
restoration process ( worst case scenario), on a set of DVD or any other removable media.
Should be made compatible with upcoming projects of virtualizing networking components (like routers and switches).
