vCenter Server @vmworld

[#1]

It is an exciting month at VMware with VMworld starting on Sunday in San Francisco. If you care about vCenter Server in any way, we have lined up several compelling sessions at VMworld. Many teams have spent countless hours preparing for these deep dive sessions in several key areas. We have many breakout sessions in key areas such as performance, architecture, deployment, availability, lifecycle management and distributed resource management.

In addition to the breakout sessions, we have also organized deep dives as part of TAM Customer Central. These sessions are led by Product Managers with the help of Engineering, and present a great opportunity to ask hard questions in a more intimate setting. Note that the TAM sessions are protected by a mutual NDA, and are available on a first come, first serve basis.

Make sure you add these sessions to your schedule. Look forward to meeting you at some of these sessions!
