VMware Cloud Foundation Starts with vSAN - Webcast 11th June 2019

I've been doing a lot of work recently with VMware Cloud on AWS and this has involved working with VMware Cloud Foundation.

The VMware Cloud Foundation software can be used in a number of different scenarios.

• Private Cloud
• Hybrid Cloud
• VMware Cloud on AWS

One of the components/solution that comes with VMware Cloud Foundation is vSAN

If you're free on 11/6/19 why not sign up for the

VMware Cloud Foundation Starts with vSAN - Webcast

VMware Cloud Foundation provides a complete set of software-defined services for compute, storage, networking, and cloud management to run enterprise apps—traditional and containerized—in private and public cloud environments. This session focuses on why hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) powered by VMware vSAN is the ideal building block for Cloud Foundation—and is the most comprehensive hybrid cloud architecture available. 

We will discuss the features that simplify “Day 0” deployment, “Day 1” configuration, and “Day 2” lifecycle management of a Cloud Foundation environment built on hyperconverged infrastructure.

Migrating to Workspace ONE. What does it mean for AirWatch customers? Many existing AirWatch customers ask “What am I losing by migrating to Workspace ONE?” The answer is nothing! When you extend your existing AirWatch deployment to include Workspace ONE, you gain new capabilities and the ability to conquer challenges including:

• Deliver any application from the latest mobile cloud apps to legacy enterprise apps
• Unified app catalog transforms employee onboarding
• Single sign-on that federates even the most complex on-premises Active Directory Topologies
• Password-free access leveraging Device Trust and PIN/Biometric timeout settings for authentication

VMUG Webcast - Advantages of Blast Extreme on Thin and Zero Client Endpoints

Have you got a spare hour on the 26th October 2017, then why not register for the.

VMUG Webcast

Advantages of Blast Extreme on Thin and Zero Client Endpoints

Topic: Since the announcement of the Blast Extreme protocol with VMware Horizon 7 just one year ago, Blast Extreme has quickly become the talk of the town. VMware have continued to make further improvements with each release, including most recently BEAT (Blast Extreme Adaptive Transport). BEAT offers vast improvements out of box with Horizon 7.1 or later, offering 50% improved bandwidth and 6X speed. This offers an improved user experience to both local and remote users. Organizations that are still using other VDI protocols may be wondering when it’s time to jump on the Blast Bandwagon and what advantages they may see as a result.

This webcast will educate viewers on the benefits and efficiencies of deploying Blast Extreme on 10ZiG Thin and Zero Client endpoints, and will include a live demo of the 10ZiG Manager – a fully FREE Thin and Zero Client Management Software solution, with no user limit or confusing support agreements.

Speaker: Kevin Greenway, Chief Technology Officer, 10ZiG Technology

Thursday, October 26 12-1 PM (CST)
