VMworld 2017 – day 2 part 1

It’s another beautiful day in Barcelona. VMworld day two is about to start. Let the games begin!

  • Q&A Session with Pat Gelsinger to answer questions sent in by partners the day before.
  • Largest part of the general session was about a fictional company named “Elasticsky Pizza” (not related in any way with this website). 😉 This company urgently needs help to perform the digital transformation, to deliver apps to their customers and to monitor any kind of problem and track down the cause of it. A collection if short and funny clips showed the problem of the company and the presenters showed how to solve them with VMware Cloud products like Pivotal Container Service, AppDefence, NSX, IoT Pulse. To round up the whole story a pizza delivery truck drove into the audience hall and delivered a box of pizza to the presenter. Very entertaining. 🙂

  • Pat Gelsinger talking about digital transformation.
  • IBM and Dell announcing joint venture to accelerate cloud adoption.
  • announcement of HCX Technology – Cloud service for cloud migration, app mobility and infrastructure hybridity.
  • Alan Renouf showing Pat Gelsinger a VR frontend for vSphere Management. Funny to see him using VR glasses to drop a VM into the virtual trashcan or to vMotion another one by throwing the object.
  • Introducing Appdefence security solution
