For those that have made the trek to Las Vegas this week, come see VMware (Booth 322) at the HPE Discover 2022 event IRL (In Real Life). Let’s face it, over the two and a half years, we have all gotten burnt out on virtual conferences and summits, so it very exciting to be able to meet face to face with customers, partners, analysts and bloggers. VMware is a platinum sponsor of the event and will be pulling out all the stops highlighting our latest multi-Cloud offerings, including the complete spectrum of joint VMware, HPE and NVIDIA solutions to help customers accelerate their AI and modernization initiatives.
There are several VMware led breakout sessions plus a number of joint presentations being led by HPE and VMware technical personnel. Of course, there are lots of hands on-labs, demonstrations and a presence within the NVIDIA AI Pavilion (Booth 202) where we will be highlighting the latest integration with VMware Cloud Foundation and the NVIDIA AI Enterprise Suite.
Just a couple of the highlighted sessions to pay particular attention to:

HPE GreenLake with VMware Cloud Foundation for Multi-Cloud Workloads & AI Ready Infrastructure (BB5350)
This joint session will be led by Rick Walsworth (VMware) and Andrew Leber (HPE) detailing how VMware Cloud Foundation integrated into HPE GreenLake delivering hybrid infrastructure that deliver AI ready developer infrastructure highlighting some of the native integration with NVIDIA AI Enterprise Software Suite. This session will also provide a strategic architectural view of the industry-leading full-stack HCI platform that helps scale AI/ML projects to production. Coupled with HPE GreenLake cloud services, this solution provides a comprehensive platform that supports an elastic as-a-service platform that can run VMs and Containers on-premises, at the edge, or in a co-location facility.
Deploy and Manage workloads in a cloud style with HPE GreenLake and VMware Cloud Foundation (BB4951)
In this session, Chuck Wood and Vinay Jonnakuti from HPE’s storage team will join Rick Walsworth to show how to extend on-premises workloads to a cloud deployment model with cost optimization and a flexible approach to deployment. In this session, the team will detail HPE GreenLake and VMware Cloud Foundation with HPE storage and highlight how our HCI systems, especially HPE Nimble Storage dHCI, integrates seamlessly with VCF deployments utilizing enterprise storage and compute.
VMware Exhibit Booth (#322)
The best part of tech conferences is the ability to interact (IRL) with customers, partners and analysts, so in addition to all the deep technical content, the VMware booth will feature demonstrations on VMware Cloud Foundation, VMware Tanzu, Project Monterey (Tech Preview) and VMware Anywhere Workspace. As usual, the friendly VMware technical staff on site will be featuring the latest VMware technology demonstrations and helping customers understand how these innovations can help joint HPE VMware customers really understand the power of this alliance. Stop by the booth to learn more about these multi-cloud innovations!
NVIDIA AI Pavilion Exhibit (#202)
NVIDIA is hosting VMware and several key partners within the AI Pavilion on the show floor discussing their latest innovations and most recent integration of NVAIE software with HPE GreenLake. This integration between the NVIDIA AI Enterprise Suite and HPE GreenLake is the latest set of innovations that enable developers to utilize a cloud-native platform of AI tools and frameworks to streamline development and deployment and quickly build high-performing AI solutions. This builds upon the most recent integration of NVIDIA AI Enterprise Suite with VMware Cloud Foundation and VMware vSphere which will be demonstrated within the AI Pavilion.
