Demystifying the World of Virtualization and Technology
As I arrived on Sunday for the vForum event, I was greeted with a smooth logistical process from start to finish. The evening was filled with meeting up with friends and customers at the vRockstar event, which is always a great way to connect with like-minded individuals from various backgrounds. Monday was all about TAM day and Partner day, where I attended a VMUG session focused on Dell EMC and VMware HCI offerings, as well as a captivating session by Brian Graf covering VMware Cloud on AWS.
The session hosted by Paul Mackay (EMEA CTO for Modern Data Center team) focused on HCI, specifically the use cases and outcomes that customers are asking for. He was assisted by Steffen Matthias, who covered the technical aspects of Dell EMC HCI solutions, and this was well received by the audience. It was a frank and informal discussion, and I felt that this is what customers want – to hear from vendors on how to get to the software-defined data center and eventually hybrid cloud.
The rest of the day was spent networking with my customers and talking to the various VMware staff and old acquaintances at the various booths about the new themes this year. The next few days are bound to be hectic with a lot of announcements and some interesting sessions, so I will give you my take on these as we go along with the event.
Overall, the vForum event is shaping up to be an exciting and informative experience, with a focus on demystifying the world of virtualization and technology. With a lineup of captivating sessions, networking opportunities, and announcements from leading vendors, this event is not to be missed for anyone interested in the latest trends and innovations in the tech industry.
I will continue to provide updates throughout the event, so be sure to stay tuned for more insights and takeaways from the world of virtualization and technology. And if you haven’t already, be sure to subscribe to my blog for the latest news, reviews, and analysis on all things tech.
