After lunch, dive deep into your IT niche through a variety of expert-led breakout sessions focused on end user computing (EUC), the hybrid cloud, management/Virtual SAN, and NSX. For us NSX nerds, there are plenty of opportunities to discover the latest trends in network virtualization and how to apply them to your organization. Check out the NSX lineup below:

Breakout Sessions:

Use case and momentum of VMware NSX and Network Virtualization – Presented by Chris King, VP of NSX Product Marketing:
- It’s clear that VMware NSX is the network virtualization and security platform for the Software-Defined Data Center (SDDC). By bringing the operational model of a virtual machine to your data center network, you can transform the economics of network and security operations. NSX lets you treat your physical network and security services attached to VMs with a policy-driven approach. Come to this session to hear about how customers have used this architectural differentiator to expand the capabilities of the data center.
Deepdive with VMware NSX – Presented by Gabriel Maciel:
- In this session Gabriel will discuss the path customers are taking to adopt NSX and Network Virtualization and will cover the key use cases which customers are embracing today. We will answer the question where do I start with NSX and how? How can partner integrations help our customers? Day 2 operations are critical to adopt any new technology and we will show you through demos on how NSX can easily integrate into an existing infrastructure. Whether it is a greenfield or a brownfield use case, NSX can quickly integrate in the environment and bring the benefits of SDDC.

And you’ll also have the chance to put your newfound NSX ideas to the test in an instructor-led hands-on lab. Yeah, you’ll work directly with the solution!

Lastly, enjoy a well-deserved cocktail at the end of the day in the Partner Pavilion while networking with your peers. Looking to add a parrot drone to your gadget closet? Or how about two tickets to Formula 1 Grand Prix? You could win those or some other sweet prizes at the end of the day!
