A Series of Virtual Failures?

Mimicking life itself at times, things in the world of technology do not always go as planned. Failures happen, and quite honestly they happen a lot more then we would all prefer.

Proper planning through research and testing is crucial, but can never account for everything that may happen. Sometimes it’s the fault of the product being implemented and sometimes its a failure to simply read the documentation or follow process correctly.

Here I document my own personal mistakes and those I witness in the world of virtualization, a world in which things don’t really exist in the same physical form we had previous known them to be.

It is at the times that we did the wrong thing from which we learn, not from when we get it right the first time around. Learning from theses errors transforms a would be failure into a learning experience;  a virtual failure perhaps.  And if it is a virtual failure did it really even happen?
