Meet the SASE, SD-WAN and Edge Team at VMware Explore Barcelona

Our team has been having a blast meeting our customers and partners at VMware Explore events all around the world. The next stop is Barcelona, 6 – 9 November 2023 at the Fira Gran Via. We’re excited to show you the latest innovations and ideas for VMware SD-WAN™, VMware SASE™, VMware Edge Compute Stack™, and VMware Private Mobile Network™.

At VMware Explore Barcelona, you will learn first-hand from the experts how these technologies are coming together at the software-defined edge, which is a distributed digital infrastructure for running workloads across dispersed locations, placed close to endpoints producing or consuming data. You can find the edge just about anywhere – remote work locations, manufacturing sites, retail stores, medical centers. What do such different edge sites have in common? They are burdened by hardware, poor security, slow connectivity, and complexity that limits their growth and ability to solve business problems. Edge sites need flexibility and speed to unlock their potential. VMware will show you how that’s possible.

Keynote address: All about the edge with Sanjay Uppal

The most popular solution keynote at VMware Explore Las Vegas is returning for VMware Explore Barcelona! Sanjay Uppal, SVP and GM of VMware’s Service Provider and Edge Business Unit, will present “Everything, Everywhere, All at Once: Living on the Edge with VMware.”

Enterprises are investing heavily in edge compute. As digital transformation takes hold, enterprises are facing the challenge of managing the increasing number of connected devices at the edge, requiring a scalable infrastructure to adapt to rapidly changing business needs. VMware has field-proven solutions designed for mission-critical workloads spanning thousands of sites and millions of edge devices.

Sanjay will expand on VMware’s industry-first approach for a unified edge architecture that was unveiled at VMware Explore Las Vegas: VMware Edge Cloud Orchestrator™. It enables enterprises to unlock the potential of the edge.

As part of the keynote, we are pleased to welcome Dr. Henning Loeser of Audi for a fireside chat with Alexandra Baleta, Ph.D., VMware Senior Director Industry for EMEA. Audi is looking to further automate its factories worldwide with a scalable edge infrastructure. Audi’s Edge Cloud 4 Production will replace individual PCs and hardware on the shop floor. This digital transformation is expected to increase factory uptime, agility, and speed of rolling out new applications and tools. VMware Edge Compute Stack and VMware Edge Cloud Orchestrator offer a scalable way for Audi to operate a distributed edge infrastructure and manage resources more efficiently to lower costs.

Sanjay Uppal will also welcome to the stage Pierre-Marie Binvel, VP, Product Marketing Connectivity Services at Orange. This leading telecommunications operator provides flexibility, enhanced performance, and a cloud-first approach to its Orange Business customers with VMware SD-WAN. Watch the keynote for an exciting announcement about expanding this important partnership.

Let your fingers do the walking through Hands-on Labs

There will be two kinds of Hands-on Labs at VMware Explore Barcelona: expert-led and self-paced. A lab covering advanced SD-WAN use cases for managing partner gateway services will be available as both an expert-led version and a self-paced version. More expert-led sessions include VMware SASE – Getting Started with SD-WAN, and VMware SASE – Getting Started with VMware Cloud Web Security. Self-paced sessions will feature Secure Remote Workers with SASE for Anywhere Workspace.
