However I am delighted because I am moving to a company that has a bright future and is looking to be a big player in the Cloud market. I will be taking a Senior Architect role at Canopy Cloud within their Engineering team working closely with the guys in the CTO office.
Here is a little more information on Canopy taken from their website www.canopy-cloud.com
Canopy Cloud
Canopy, an Atos company powered by EMC and VMware technology, is a one-stop-shop that offers cloud services focussed exclusively on bringing the benefits of cloud delivery to large public and multinational private sector organizations.
The Canopy offerings are based on open standards so customers can choose their preferred technology and decide whether to run solutions off- or on-premise to best meet their business needs.
I’m really excited as for the last three years my main focus has been on End User Computing architectures based on products from VMware. Moving forward my primary focus will be Cloud architecture, vCloud Director, vCAC, vCO etc. Not only am I excited to learn new technologies, I also relish the challenge in helping Canopy grow from a small business into a key player in the Cloud services market. Once again it’s going to be a steep learning curve – Bring.It.On!!!
I will continue to blog and tweet. The focus of my posts are likely to change based on the projects I am working on at Canopy.
As my final day at VMware approaches I am beginning to realize how much I will miss it here. However I’ve learnt, emotions and sentiment shouldn’t be used as a reason to stay in a role.

Cheers Fabio. Hope you are enjoying your Pre-Sales role ;-)
LOL, every single minute of it ;-)
There may be some work to do together in the future, we'll cross paths again for sure.
No doubt, it's a small industry.
All the best Si, you'll be a success in your new role.

Congrats Simon and good luck in new role
Thanks Artur :-)
Congrats mate! They made one hell of a catch at Canopy! :-)
You're too kind Bas. Hopefully we'll get to catch up in Barcelona.
I'll be there, just received my registration. Would look forward to having a drink with you and catching up. :)
Hey, good luck mate. We'll have to catch up in Norwich soon.
Seeing the name Atos in there is a blast from the past. When I was at PSINet years ago we provided the network for Atos across Holland and the UK.
Cheers Ben. I'm hoping to get to a SyncNorwich sometime soon.
Atos has been around for a while, they recently just merged with Siemans, so are pretty big now. Small work hey?
Good luck for your future role Simon, i'm sure VMware will miss you a lot!
I doubt it! ;-) Cheers Barry.
