With just under four weeks to VMworld San Francisco, we are putting the finishing touches on another dizzying list of fantastic events and sessions. The Cloud Management Business Unit, the maker of vRealize Suite of cloud management-focused products, has prepared a great program for you, full of both useful content and networking fun. To help you navigate the vast land of VMworld, we will be publishing a series of blogs, each focusing on a specific group of activities around the Cloud Management track at VMworld.

Keep in mind that these are just recommendations – for the full list of Cloud Management sessions, please login to your VMworld portal!

 

Cloud Management Spotlight Sessions

These are the three sessions where our cloud management leaders and subject matter experts will share their vision, strategy, the latest developments and the direction that they are taking with our technology. Not only will you learn what’s cooking in our R&D labs, but you will also have a chance to directly influence the upcoming development by participating in Q&A at each of these sessions, and voicing your feedback directly to the speakers.

Just Like Episodes in a Famous TV Show

These spotlight sessions will logically follow one another, just like episodes in a famous TV show, so try to attend all – and get the best picture as you go on the cloud journey with us.

Space is limited in all sessions, and many are approaching capacity already. So, don’t miss out and register for these three spotlight sessions:
