Early this summer I wrote a guide covering Pocket ACE that has finally made its way through the system. Pocket ACE is a new feature included in the release of ACE 2 Enterprise Edition. Pocket ACE allows an ACE Administrator to deploy a Virtual Machine to a portable storage device. A user can take that portable
device and run their virtual machine by attaching the device to any supported x86 based system.

I wanted to take the time to acknowledge a few people that were instrumental in helping along the way. Matt Ginzton, Gilad Ben Zeev, Chris Leroy and Ed Albanese. Matt is a Sr. Staff Engineer at VMware and always helps me with all things ACE and Pocket ACE related. Gilad is a Sr. MTS Engineer at
VMware and played an important role in helping me better understand our instance customization. Ed Albanese is a Product Manager at VMware. Ed plays an important role by directing and reviewing content and ensuring the highest quality. Chris Leroy is a Sr. MTS Engineer at VMware and helped in the areas of disk i/o
performance, sync performance and overall review contributions. This guide is intended for IT Architects and technical influencer's looking to better understand
Pocket ACE. I hope you find it useful. The guide can be found here, VMware Pocket ACE Guide.
