[MCLB2643US] Right Sizing VMware Cloud Compute and Storage Is No Longer a Dream T100

Customers today drive high cost and efficiency benefits through VMware Cloud on AWS, Azure and Google Cloud for a wide variety of workloads. However, as customers move more data-intensive workloads to the cloud, a new approach was needed to allow customers to purchase and scale cloud storage independently of cloud compute to reduce and control costs. These data-intensive workloads also drive the need for advanced data protection and management services enjoyed by on-premises workloads. Through a close partnership with NetApp, VMware has now enabled the use of NetApp Cloud Services as the first certified, integrated and supported solution for VMware Cloud supplemental datastores, allowing the ability to right size cloud computing and storage needs. Learn how this can be done today and see real-world customer examples and demos.

Speakers:

AJ Mahajan, Senior Director, NetApp Solutions

Suzy Visvanathan, Director, Product Management VMware

Tuesday, August 30, 2:30–3:30 p.m. PT
