We are only a few weeks away from VMware Explore US. Get ready to put yourself at the center of the multi-cloud universe, August 29 – September 1, 2022 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, California. To register, click here.
Now that you have registered (congratulations!), it’s time to start building your learning path and schedule.
- The VMware Explore team wrote a helpful blog about how to navigate the content catalog, whether you plan to attend the U.S. event or the Europe event.
- If you are a VMware User Group (VMUG) member, or want to become a member, join VMUG at VMware Explore for networking, career advancement, a ping-pong tourney, free food, and much more. (But we had you at “free food.”)
As a reminder, these are the three main session categories:
- Professional Development Sessions: Advance your career, hit those professional development goals and get ready to be inspired.
- Technical Breakout Sessions: These are not for beginners. You will see demos. Check out our level 200 and level 300 technical sessions to get under the hood and learn from the experts.
- Meet the Expert Sessions: Attend these sessions to get the answers to your most hard-hitting questions from VMware Technical Experts.
Edge-focused sessions at VMware Explore
What is the edge, anyway, and what can it do for your enterprise? We wrote a blog about that! The edge is a distributed digital infrastructure for running enterprise workloads across many locations. It processes data close to the endpoint that produces and consumes this data. VMware Edge Compute Stack provides a common platform for VMs and containers to support these workloads, connected by VMware SD-WAN™ and running on Edge hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) — all from a small form factor.
Be sure to check out these edge-focused sessions at VMware Explore:
- A holistic approach for delivering Private Mobile Network (4G and 5G) [CEIB2231US] 5G will power connectivity for edge functions alongside VMware Edge Compute Stack, VMware SD-WAN and VMware SASE™.
- Edge Computing Is the Next Evolution of Cloud [CEIB2222US] Learn about new capabilities in VMware Edge Compute Stack that deliver intelligent and immersive experiences to delight your customers.
- Edge-Native Applications: Myth or Reality? [CEIB2240US] A new generation of application architecture needs to be optimized for ephemeral data, not ephemeral compute. It requires a different application model that needs to support OT workloads and workflows that are not the same as IT workloads and workflows.
- How Retailers Transform Innovative In-Store Experiences with Retail Edge [CEIB2225US] Join this panel discussion to learn how retailers are transforming the customer experience by digitizing their stores, using VMware Edge Compute Stack to create differentiation while driving operational efficiencies.
- ML at Edge Is Different: How to Architect AI and ML That Works Great at Edge [CEIB2799US] This talk will highlight the differences between a regular and an edge-optimized AI/ML application model, and demonstrate a simple application running on VMware Edge Compute Stack.
- Orchestrating the Chaos: Enabling Order in Today’s Power Grids [CEIB2318US] With a more intelligent, automated power grid that incorporates edge compute, physical installations can become highly standardized and create an environment that promotes grid enhancement through innovation.
- Peeking at the Factory Edge: Implementing Edge Compute in Manufacturing [CEIB2321US] Customers and technology partners will discuss how we bring VMware Edge Compute Stack into the manufacturing environment, and how IT/OT together can implement these use cases now along with their benefits.
- Software-Defined Manufacturing [CEIB2313US] New real-time capabilities of VMware Edge Compute Stack can accelerate automation on the manufacturing floor, enabling agility and operational efficiencies.
- VMware Edge Compute Stack Reference Architecture Deep Dive [CEIB2325US] Come hear how to successfully architect and deploy VMware Edge Compute Stack and learn best practices. We will discuss the design choices for rightsizing the edge, the architecture building blocks, and how different components interoperate.
