Has anyone heard an ETA of Vsphere/esxi 5.5? There are nine gazillion reviews of it out there but I can't find much more than "Septemberish".
No biggie...just curious...
Thanks!

I have been hearing next week -
Hi,
maybe tomorrow, maybe on Wednesday, apparently sometimes this week.
Last year, announce of 5.1 was 27.8., GA for download was 11.9.
Thanks y'all!
Not a peep??
most probably the Q1 of 2014.
Can't wait for the new NSX appliance to try on 🙂
Q1 of 2014?!? What happened to this week? Did something happen Or were the various websites just way, way off???
Q1 2014?? Why such a delay?
I may have had too many beers between last year and this year, but it seemed like there was more of a "5.1 will be out the week of blah blah" than this time with 5.5. I wonder if the quietness is as AlbertWT mentioned above and they have decided to hold off until next year to release 5.5?
Why would you just guess (and BTW, you are WAY wrong).
Albert is just way off, actually.
It's basically only speculation when the new version will be available. VMware doesn't usually announce such dates, but will make the binaries available once they think they are ready for GA.

They need to pull any mention of 5.5. "New software-defined data center technologies—including vCloud® Suite 5.5,"off the front page of their website until they release it.
Soon
off the front page of their website until they release it.
This is currently my issue. Multiple customers have asked about when they are getting this upgrade, and one even complained to me about being "out of date". If a product isn't released, the marketing material needs to clearly say "soon to be released".
Somehow the Video training site it is available: VMware vSphere 5.5 New Features - Online Training Course for Developers ?
VMware says by the end of Q3 2013.
Dang...end of the year....that's dissapointing.
My suggestion would be to reach out to your sales rep at VMware and ask when 5.5 will be available. They know the release date and would be in the best position to share that information.

You must have some very different sales reps to what I do.
