What is “Buy VMware“?

click here for enlarge
Look carefully at the images show as above! I’m sure you will notice Google search engine result could not find “Buy VMware” keyword on pages from Malaysia(Ignore Sponsored Links). This is NOT for fun which actually I found on Malaysia VMware sitemeter report. Does Google search engine stupid or intelligence? Google search understand English? What do you think? Probably this article will show on top on Google search result later. Yeah! SEO expert here …..
Anyway other keywords such as “Buy VMware ESX” and “Buy VMware Workstation” either from google.com or google.com.my worked perfectly which it will show VMware Store URL: http://www.vmware.com/vmwarestore/.

VMware had setup their regional Asia South office in Singapore quite some times ago. Personally, I am wondering should this be the correct decision to be based in Singapore which is seems to be a higher cost sustain area, and the IT market in that area are just not focusing enough compare to Malaysia. The reason of saying this, is not because myself is a Malaysian.
1 of the good example, IBM had ship their regional office to Malaysia from Singapore previously, because they saw the potential market grow in this country as well as more talent source in Malaysia for IT related area. Many of the IT giant are setup the IT hub, data center as well as corporate office in Malaysia to enjoy the TAX free holiday as well as cheaper real estate cost and man power resources. There are HP, IBM, DELL, SHELL, EDS, HSBC, Prudential and etc around in Malaysia. Guess what, most of them are even having their production data center in Malaysia itself.
Now we go back to VMware, virtualization is growing in Malaysia, but the present from VMware are more relay on the partner in here. Training are not provided as what been provided in Sinagpore or Australia. Most of the time, even in singapore training center, the attendees are not Singaporean. As economy crisis now, to attend a training in Singapore will be 3 times more expensive for someone who attending a training in Malaysia. If I not mistaken, they have less than 10 employees in malaysia for VMware itself. It just not big enough to attract the confident of the potential giant customer from Malaysia market if you do not present yourself strong enough as your competitor.

I was looking for VMware training(preferred Design, Secure and Analyse course) in Malaysia but look like not much choice here. If you looking at VMware education website, you can only found Nota Asia available for Malaysia(sorry no VMware course available on Nota Asia web site). What?
And I don’t see schedule for DSA course. You can only found VMware Infrastructure 3: Install and Configure V3.5 course available on Nov and Dec 2008.

I would said ‘amazing‘. Malaysia VMware Community Blog was started at 22 Aug 2008 and I was surprised when I noticed Google PageRank 4 for us today. It’s taken about 1 month and 1 week.
Seriously I’m not believed when I saw PR4 just now. I have checked with multiple computer (multiple browsers with Google toolbar installed) and PRChecker web site.

Yes it’s confirmed PR4 for us. The smart Google search engine definitely looking for good content website. Write more and good content is the only way to go for higher Google PageRank.
As part of Malaysia VMware blog teams, I’m really proud of it within short period of time. Good work to all the team mates.
