VMware Visionaries Unplugged

VMworld 2015: A Recap of the Latest News and Events

As a follow-up to our previous post, vChat Podcast – Episode 38 – vSphere Home Labs and EMC vVNX, I would like to share my experiences at VMworld 2015. VMworld is one of the biggest virtualization conferences in the industry, and this year’s event did not disappoint.

The keynote session was one of the highlights of the conference. VMware CEO Pat Gelsinger and other executives shared their vision for the future of cloud computing and how VMware is leading the way with innovative technologies like NSX and vSAN. The keynote also featured several high-profile announcements, including the release of vSphere 6.5 and the acquisition of AWS.

One of the most exciting aspects of VMworld was the opportunity to attend various speaking sessions and labs. These sessions covered a wide range of topics, from the fundamentals of vSphere to advanced technologies like network virtualization and cloud management. The labs were especially valuable, providing hands-on experience with the latest VMware technologies.

The expo was another highlight of the conference, featuring booths from numerous vendors showcasing their latest products and services. It was a great opportunity to learn about the latest trends and innovations in the virtualization industry.

Of course, no conference is complete without some networking and partying! The VMworld after-hours events were some of the best I have ever attended. From the welcome reception to the closing party, there was always something going on. I had the opportunity to connect with numerous industry professionals, including fellow vExperts and other thought leaders.

Overall, VMworld 2015 was an incredible experience that provided valuable insights into the latest virtualization technologies and trends. I would highly recommend attending this conference to anyone interested in virtualization or cloud computing.
