VMware is hosting a big online event this week that is themed “Enabling the Digital Enterprise”. It’s being presented as a 2-part event on multiple days split into 2 tracks. The first track seems to be all about VDI, that’s a bit of a change for VMware that has historically put VDI as secondary at their events like VMworld. If VDI isn’t your cup of tea then tune in the 2nd day that is all about vSphere and the cloud and VSAN. I’m willing to bet that you’ll be hearing new product announcements as well as all sorts of licensing changes (hint: streamlined product portfolio).
Track 1 – Deliver and Secure Your Digital Workspace
VMware is helping customers develop consumer-simple, enterprise-secure digital workspaces that include their desktop and mobile environments along with critical components of security, identity and cloud infrastructure. Pat Gelsinger will be joined by Sanjay Poonen who will present VMware’s digital workspace vision and share exciting announcements that help companies securely deliver and manage any app on any device.
