Looking forward to seeing everyone at VMware Explore 2023 Barcelona November 6-9, as VMware Explore has special significance to everyone who has been involved in the planning and execution of this major event. Just like VMware Explore Vegas, this show promises a number of tech innovations and product announcements, but you’ll have to wait for the general session to get those updates. As you are planning your week in Barcelona through the content catalog, the following is an overview of the must-see VCF sessions at VMware Explore Las Vegas.
Deliver Hybrid Cloud to Modernize Infrastructure and Accelerate Innovation
[CEIB1442BCN] (November 7th 2023 / 1300-1345 CET)
Learn how to build, deploy and manage a platform that integrates a secure private cloud with integrated cloud services and a developer environment that integrates VMs and Kubernetes into the VMware Cloud Foundation platform. This session will also provide the latest innovations, product updates and a preview to what’s coming next. Also hear directly from the Keith Trudge from Chelsea and Westminster NHS Foundation Trust to learn how they deployed VMware Cloud Foundation for a high availability Private Cloud providing the benefits of cloud computing while maintaining control and ownership of their environment.
Data Center Modernization – Day in the Life of a VMware Cloud Administrator
[CEIB1518BCN] (November 8th 2023 / 1245-1330 CET)
This session is an attendee favorite. In this session, Kyle and Tony do a great job explaining a how VMware Cloud Foundation provide real world examples of how VCF simplifies life for a IT and Operations owners by illustrating a typical day in the life of a VMware Cloud Foundation admin. Your boss calls and they need you to stand up Kubernetes infrastructure to support them. In your inbox is an email requesting you add more capacity to an existing cluster to support load testing over the weekend. In this session, we will show how VMware Cloud Foundation enables you to take care of business and still have a life.
What’s New with VMware Cloud Foundation and Operational Best Practices?
[CEIB1446BCN] (November 7th 2023 / 1415-1500 CET)
Learn about the latest features and capabilities delivered with VMware Cloud Foundation in addition to best practices on how to optimize VMware Cloud Foundation+, including scalability, automation, keyless entitlements, and a cloud portfolio of operations. This session will showcase various ways to simplify operations across cloud platforms for VMware Cloud Foundation and how we can help transform your on-premises infrastructure and your business by delivering the benefits of cloud services without disrupting your on-premises workloads.
Accelerated Private Cloud with VMware Cloud Foundation on NVIDIA Bluefield DPUs
[NSCB2356BCN] (November 8th 2023 / 1515-1600)
In this session, Sabina and Motti will dive into the architecture and use cases as a way to demonstrate the benefits from DPUs in VMware Cloud Foundation using commonly used workloads. You will learn how to deploy Smart NICs/Data Processing Units (DPUs)to enable offloading, accelerating and isolating networks and VMware NSX services over NVIDIA BlueField DPUs. This new architecture enables running bigger workloads to scale in isolation from network processing tasks, which enables Zero Trust deployments, higher application performance, and better power efficiency.
In summary, the VCF team will be in full force in Barcelona, so please come by, get a demo and say hello! Reach out to your local account teams to schedule 1-1 meetings with the technical team that will be onsite in Barcelona this year.
