VMworld US is over, I’ve watched various sessions and now am starting to prep for VMworld EMEA, which will be in a month. (17-20 Oct) If you haven’t registered yet then now is the time to do so, the longer you will wait, the more expensive flights will become. If you have registered and are starting to look at the agenda then here are my 2 sessions I have scheduled this year:
- 18/10/16 (Tuesday) 15:30 – Software-Defined Storage at VMware Primer – STO7650 – Lee Dilworth / Duncan Epping
- 19/10/16 (Wednesday) 15:30 – A day in the life of a VSAN I/O – STO7875 – John Nicholson / Duncan Epping
And based on the sessions I have seen so far, I would also like to recommend to add the following to your schedule:
- VMware Chief Technology Officer Panel – Trends and Futures [CTO9943] Joe Baguley, Paul Strong, Shawn Bass, Ray O’Farrell
- vSphere 6.x Host Resource Deep Dive [INF8430] Frank Denneman / Niels Hagoort
- Extreme Performance Series: vCenter Performance Deep Dive [INF8108] Ravi Soundararajan, Sameh Zakhary
- Tech Preview: Enhanced VM Availability Leveraging vCenter and Partner Hardware Integration [INF8020] Maarten Wiggers
- vSphere DRS Deep Dive: Understanding the Best Practices, Advanced Concepts, and Future Direction of DRS [INF7827] Naveen Nagaraj
- An Industry Roadmap: From storage to data management [STO7903] Christos Karamanolis
- The Power Hour: Deep Dive, DevOps, and New Features of PowerCLI [INF8092] Alan Renouf
- Virtual Volumes Technical Deep Dive [STO7645] Pete Flecha / Patrick Dirks
- Virtual SAN: Introducing the Best HCI Platform for Containers and Cloud-Native Applications [STO8256] Christian Dickmann / Rawlinson Rivera
- Cloud Native Buzzwords (Demystified) for Dummies [CTO7964] Massimo Re Ferre’
Good recommendations! It’s just a shame that a lot of the interesting sessions overlap. This should be a two week event 🙂
