Previously, we shared the work we did on the Cloud comic. You can look at the post here. This week, we are featuring the first comic we created: "Conquering Virtual Sprawl." In this episode, our protagonists have a big issue in their datacenter: virtual sprawl. They can’t keep track of their computers and they have no way to manage them. In order to defeat virtual sprawl, careful up-front planning is required. This comic was especially fun to write because we have an antagonist: The Virtual Sprawl Monster! Super Angry

In this comic, Leah and Zach learn how to:

Identify the symptoms of virtual sprawl
Control virtual sprawl by planning and implementing the proper processes and procedures
Use product features to help manage their virtual machine infrastructure

We passed this one out at TechEd 2010 in New Orleans. But, for those of you did not get a copy, we’ll post the full PDF in an upcoming post. Enjoy the first set of panels below!

… Stay tuned for the rest of our first comic and let us know what you think!
