Let’s have a look at the upcoming events in the world of virtualization.
We have more than a dozen of cool webinars coming up soon, in which you can learn about such topics as security and compliance in cloud environment, virtualization of Microsoft and Oracle – that one is available in Spanish, as well; and of course vSphere 5. There are more topics listed than I can cover in this quick overview, so head on over to webcasts.vmware.com and see for yourself.
There is one webinar I want to call out though, about Application Modernization in Practice. If you work with middleware and are looking at moving your applications to the cloud, this one will be worth your while.
From our community of users, there’s a few cool things coming up too.
The following VMUGs are meeting over the next seven days: Tasmanian, Perth, Atlanta, Greensboro/Triad, and Phoenix. There is also a full-day user conference in Indianapolis tomorrow, which is like a VMUG on steroids. You get a full program, with interesting speakers, and multiple sessions, and of course you get to hang out with the friends from the local user group. You can find more details and registration links for all these VMUG events at myvmug.org by clicking on “Events.”
