Today’s the day! We’re kicking off VMware Explore 2023 in Las Vegas, and we couldn’t be more excited. We’re at the epicenter of the multicloud universe, ready to dive into our lineup of SD-WAN, SASE, and Edge sessions. Although Tropical Storm Hilary rained on a few plans, we made it here to help you navigate the ever-evolving landscape of network and security solutions, offering a deep-dive into our innovative offerings and their potential applications.
Here are a few highlights from today’s event.
Hands-on labs: VMware Cloud Web Security
Hands-on labs is always a popular stop at VMware Explore. Picture this: You’re eager to explore new VMware products and solutions, but you’re not quite ready to commit without a test run. Enter HOL—your sandbox for innovation and learning. Today the hands-on labs focused on VMware Cloud Web Security™. It’s a cloud-hosted service that shields your users and infrastructure when they’re accessing SaaS and Internet applications. Think of it as having your own personal security detail, always on guard, ensuring safe browsing from anywhere, and offering email and document download protection. It also provides visibility and control over SaaS applications with per-app policies, so you’re always in the driver’s seat. In a nutshell, VMware Cloud Web Security is your ticket to a safer, more controlled digital environment.
We welcomed our WAN Insiders to VMware Explore, which includes select groups of our partners and customers. There was a lively exchange of ideas on topics including how VMware SASE and edge products can integrate AI, educational opportunities for professional certifications, future enhancements to the Enhanced Firewall Service that is integrated into VMware SD-WAN Edges, features and benefits of VMware Private Mobile Network, cloud connectivity models, and automation and intelligence features across the VMware SASE and Edge portfolios.
Sanjay Uppal, VP and GM of the VMware Service Provider and Edge business unit, stopped in to the meetings to welcome customers and partners to the WAN Insiders event and to VMware Explore. He provided a sneak peak at tomorrow’s keynote address, where he will explain how VMware is poised to empower customers and partners to use edge networking to its full potential. Stay tuned!

Meet the Experts featuring VMware Edge Network Intelligence
The Meet the Experts series features VMware Edge Network Intelligence: Like ChatGPT for Network Engineers sessions today and tomorrow. VMware Edge Network Intelligence™ gives us true visibility into networks, end user, and IoT devices, suggesting solutions to our problems. It’s like having a personal guide through the intricate maze of networks, always ready to point us in the right direction. ChatGPT is much like a digital conversationalist, capable of understanding and generating human-like text. What do they have in common? Both VMware Edge Network Intelligence and ChatGPT are critical players in our increasingly interconnected and automated world. They’re our allies in navigating the complex landscape of modern tech, helping us make sense of it all, one byte at a time.
