Demystifying the World of Virtualization and Technology: vRetreat Event Review

As a technology enthusiast, I was thrilled to attend the latest vRetreat event, which brought together some of the best minds in the virtualization and technology community. Despite the challenges posed by the current climate, the event still managed to deliver an engaging and informative experience for all attendees.

The event kicked off with a panel discussion featuring a group of bloggers, including yours truly, who shared their insights on various technology vendors. We were joined by a diverse group of delegates from the vCommunity, making for a lively and interactive experience.

One of the highlights of the event was the presentation by Zerto, a company that has been around for several years and has established itself as a leader in disaster recovery for virtual environments. Their latest offering, Zerto 8, brings a lot more to the table, including support for Google Cloud, expanded offerings, and on-demand labs for further exploration. It was interesting to see how the company has reinvented itself to tackle the ever-growing data protection landscape, embracing cloud and expanding its offerings.

Next up were Kemp, who focused on their core strength: load balancing. As a specialist in this space, Kemp offers a lot of value for users looking for high availability and scalability. We were taken through several scenarios where Kemp works with the Horizon UAG (Unified Access Gateway) and how different scenarios can be adopted using Kemp as the front end for traffic. The presenter, Frank Yue, was keen to point out that Kemp’s focus on load balancing sets them apart from other vendors who try to tackle multiple features.

I was impressed by the passion exhibited by both presenters and the panelists, and the fact that they could communicate their value propositions so effectively. It was also great to see collaboration tools being used to make the event a success, despite the need for a virtual event instead of a face-to-face one.

In conclusion, the vRetreat event was an excellent experience that provided valuable insights into the world of virtualization and technology. Both Zerto and Kemp showcased their offerings and demonstrated why they are leaders in their respective spaces. I look forward to attending more events like this in the future, hopefully face-to-face instead of virtual!
