Discover Infrastructure Modernization with VCF at VMware Explore 2025

VMware Explore 2025 is shaping up to be an exciting event, taking place in Las Vegas from August 25–28, 2025. VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) will be front and center, showcasing how it helps customers accelerate key IT priorities—infrastructure modernization, application modernization, and security modernization.

If infrastructure modernization is on your roadmap, this blog will help you get the most out of VMware Explore 2025. Learn how VCF supports building and deploying private cloud infrastructure, optimizing operations, and extending your data center to the edge, public cloud, or sovereign cloud.

Let’s take a look at the key sessions and activities focused on these use cases.

Breakout sessions on infrastructure modernization

Don’t miss these breakout sessions designed to deepen your understanding of VMware Cloud Foundation. Several feature joint presentations from customers and product team members—offering real-world insights into how organizations are modernizing their infrastructure with VCF.

We highly recommend “The Benefits for Going from VMware vSphere to VMware Cloud Foundation 9.0.” This session explores the strategic advantages of upgrading from vSphere to VCF 9.0, including simplified infrastructure management, stronger security, and better support for private cloud environments. It’s a must-attend for anyone looking to simplify operations and future-proof their IT stack.
