Technical Marketing Update 2012 – Week 11 – #tmupdate
No white paper updates this week, but I promise there will be some really cool papers coming up soon. Nevertheless, the blog posts below are worth checking out… although I suspect that many of you are know upgrading your home-labs or test environment at work! Was I the only one who was shocked about the almost company wide update release? I don't think I have ever seen so many products being updated in a single wave. Some with minor features or fixes, others with life saving features like for instance vShield App providing the ability to exclude VMs from protection. (vCenter Server anyone?)
