With just two weeks left until VMworld 2016 Barcelona, I would like to help you navigate through the impressive lineup of cloud management-focused sessions that are available to you. Designed to give you a comprehensive overview of the VMware’s Cloud Management Platform (CMP), these sessions provide the vision and the strategic direction, as well as hands-on knowledge and best practices, to help you be successful on your cloud journey.
To make it easier, I have segmented all sessions into four use case-focused sections:
- Intelligent Operations of SDDC and the Hybrid Cloud
These sessions cover all aspect of SDDC and cloud management: capacity planning and resource distribution, performance management, troubleshooting, for your virtual compute, storage, and networks. Attend to learn more about vRealize Operations and vRealize Log Insight. Also, meet the new product vRealize Network Insight which helps you with microsegmentation planning, deep network visibility, and traffic patterns analysis.
