Abstract: Tens of thousands of companies around the world are standardizing on VMware’s flagship suite VMware Infrastructure to dramatically decrease the cost of computing, align IT infrastructure with business requirements, and provide unprecedented risk mitigation and resilience. This session will discuss VMware’s roadmap of groundbreaking new products and technologies that expand the VMware Infrastructure suite into a virtual datacenter operating system (VDC-OS). The virtual datacenter OS from VMware allows businesses to efficiently pool all types of hardware resources - servers, storage and network – into an aggregated on-premise cloud to deliver a highly elastic, self-managing and self-healing datacenter. The session will also discuss how the virtual datacenter OS enables federation of on-premise and off-premise infrastructure to enable cloud computing.
