Yes, I know it’s 8:00am. Yes, I went to the Veeam party last night too… My favorite audience is an involved one! Questions are encouraged, and we’ll definitely leave time for Q & A. The Twitter hashtags for this presentation are #VMWorld, #VCM6608 and #Vblock, so please feel free to share any thoughts, pictures or video of this session! The slides from this session will be made available for all attendees through the usual methods, and I’ll make the full PowerPoint version available on my blog as well. I will do my best to make this a little educational and as technical we can in the time allotted. If you want to see more, or want to dig in further, please reach out and let me know!

DATA CENTER Hardware is being virtualized. Application frameworks are more flexible. Virtualized storage can be abstracted, pooled, and distributed dynamically. Software-defined security shifts to a model based on the identities of people and applications. Networking is decoupled from the underlying physical hardware network for on-demand provisioning and scaling. 4
