The VMware NSX network virtualization platform is bringing game-changing capabilities and benefits to businesses and organizations across a wide spectrum of industries. We have sessions covering strategic initiatives like security, automation, and application continuity, as well as more tactical use cases like micro-segmentation, IT automating IT, disaster recovery, and more. On top of that, there are sessions covering the NSX platform and operationalizing NSX.  These sessions are offered in a variety of formats and range from introductory sessions perfect for those new to NSX or network virtualization, to intermediate sessions that dive into the deeper technical aspects of NSX, to advanced sessions for NSX veterans and networking experts.

And I know you’ve heard me say this before…but take a look at the list of the breakout sessions below, and then check out the schedule builder on VMworld.com to organize your week.

We’re looking forward to seeing you at VMworld US 2016.
