After an action packed week at VMworld US in Las Vegas, the Cloud Platform Business unit has assembled in Barcelona for VMworld Europe 2017. We’re excited to talk to our European friends about the products our group supports: vSphere (and especially vSphere 6.5), and now VMware Cloud on AWS.
This post is an attempt to pull all of the activities our group has planned for the Barcelona show into one place. We’ll see you soon!
