“Software Defined Storage Marches On – To say things are busy in the software defined storage side of VMware would be an understatement but the result of all of this activity is thousands of customers enjoying storage flexibility, performance and ease of use that were words once not often used in this area of IT. Join us to learn more and hear how you too can benefit and what other things are just around the corner.”

Morpheus Senior Systems Engineer
“Morpheus Data is a full feature cloud management platform that allows you do deploy into any public or private cloud infrastructure at either VM or Container level. During the session we will show provisioning of a simple two tier app stack and then deployment of an application onto that stack. We will then look at how we can monitor and control that app through its life cycle.”
Silver Sponsor
We have some great prizes to give away so it's always worth staying to the end as you never know what you might win (actually you do know as all prizes are normally on the table as you register)
Looking forward to catching up with everyone.
