On Thursday, April 25, 2024, the annual VMUG UserCon took place in Frankfurt am Main. To the delight of all visitors and of course the VMUG leaders, we had top-class guests for the opening keynote. Joe Baguley (VMware CTO EMEA) and Hock Tan (Broadcom CEO) opened the event with a fireside chat.
Hock Tan explained fundamental changes in the VMware product portfolio and why they are so important.
Following the event, Hock Tan has now published an open letter to the VMUG community in which he emphasizes the importance of the VMware user group for Broadcom. He also addresses the focus of software development on a single core product (VCF), data sovereignty and the media noise of recent months. This document once again summarizes the key points of his keynote at UserCon 2024.
