    John Gilmartin, SVP and GM, CPBU, VMware

    Thomas Rumpf, Chief Technology Office (CTO) Private Cloud, T-Systems International GmbH

    Hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) has fast become the default infrastructure of choice that spans the datacenter, edge locations, and the public cloud. That’s because organizations across every industry need to accelerate delivery of new applications and scale as businesses respond to changing demands – they need agile infrastructure as the foundation for their digital business. Full stack HCI unleashes business agility by simplifying IT and providing a cloud operating model. As the foundational platform for traditional applications, cloud native applications, and hybrid cloud, HCI eliminates IT silos and makes your infrastructure future-ready. In this session, you will hear from thought leaders and customers who are at forefront of HCI, pushing the envelope on vSAN and VMware Cloud Foundation.

    Paul Turner, VP of Product Management, vSphere, VMware

    Jared Rosoff, Sr Director, Product Management, VMware

    With vSphere 7.0 we significantly changed vSphere with, most notably, native containers, Kubernetes, vMotion/DRS enhancements and hardware accelerated performance (PMEM, vGPU, PVRDMA, NVMeoF). It brought the flexibility of management through Kubernetes while continuing to take advantage of the latest hardware.
    In this session, we will look at what’s new in vSphere and the VMware Cloud Foundation. We’ll take a deep dive into the latest features which enhance developer productivity, flexibility and broadens our application support. The new vSphere is an extensible application platform and we’ll showcase how we are extending the platform with 3rd party applications and services.
    Attend this session to learn about the latest vSphere with Tanzu and VMware Cloud Foundation features and how they can accelerate your business.
