Es geht weiter mit den Anlässen! Wie wir es schon vor einiger Zeit angekündigt haben, haben wir für 2021 viele interessante Themen für euch rausgesucht und verpacken diese in kleine handliche virtuelle Meetings. Alles ist live, nichts ist pre-recorded.
Wir haben für euch Simon Todd von Intel (ehemaliger VMware-Mitarbeiter) organisieren können, welcher euch VMware’s Partnerschaft mit Intel näher bringt und euch interessante Informationen zum persistenten Intel Optane Speicher (PMEM) präsentieren wird.
Wenn Ihr euch fragen solltet, welche Rolle Intel beim VMware Portfolio spielt und wie ihr eure Serverdichte und Kosten optimieren könnt, ohne dass die Performance darunter leidet, dann meldet euch unbedingt an.

1st VMware Cloud Summit
With the introduction of the cloud, IT has been revolutionized – but which cloud model is best for you and what technical fundamentals must be fulfilled in order to be able to use cross-platform systems at all? The variety of options often makes it difficult to form an objective opinion about the cloud models that are right for you.
Together with the VMware premier service providers, Swisscom, T-Systems & Axians, VMware will be showing you the latest infrastructure cloud solution, both Swiss and international. Get both technical and economic insights and see how it works and the opportunities that result from it.
