class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Introducing a New Era of Cloud Freedom and Control<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s1\">VMware CEO Pat Gelsinger opened VMworld 2016 in Las Vegas, Nevada, this morning by telling his audience that \u201ca new era of cloud freedom and control is here.\u201d Gelsinger used his keynote to introduce the VMware\u00aeCross-Cloud Architecture\u2122. This is a game-changing new architecture that, as he says, \u201cwill enable customers to run, manage, connect, and secure applications across clouds and devices in a common operating environment.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>A Strategy for an All-Digital World<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s1\">Gelsinger began his remarks by describing the progression from a world characterized by a mix of traditional and digital business operations to an all-digital world. \u201cToday,\u201d he said, \u201conly 20 percent of businesses are leading this digital transformation.\u201d\u00a0\u201cThe challenge for businesses worldwide, he added, is to choose which way they intend to make their own digital transformation.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Making the End-User Experience &#8220;Consumer Simple &#8212; Enterprise Secure\u201d<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s1\">Sanjay Poonen opened today\u2019s general session with\u00a0energy and passion, describing VMware\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.vmware.com\/products\/digital-workspace.html\"><span class=\"s5\">digital workspace strategy<\/span><\/a>\u00a0and the new EUC technologies announced earlier in the day. He shared our three-layer EUC strategy, all of which comes together in the new consumer simple, enterprise secure digital workspace: apps and identity, desktop and mobile, and management and security.\u00a0The keynote showcased a high caliber of customer and partner stories, including: the American Red Cross, Coca-Cola, Mecklenburg County and Sprint. In addition, Sanjay was joined on stage by Salesforce\u2019s EVP of Product and Solutions Marketing Stephanie Buscemi, and by Tanium CEO Orion Hindi.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>SDDC Innovations for the\u00a0Mobile-Cloud Era<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s1\">Ray O\u2019Farrell then turned to Software-Defined Data Center (SDDC) innovations for the\u00a0Mobile-Cloud era, hosting Mike Wittig, Senior Director of Consumer Digital Infrastructure Services,\u00a0from Nike for a discussion around how our solutions\u00a0(vCloud Suite, NSX, VIO, AirWatch, Horizon)\u00a0are fueling Nike\u2019s digital products and services. Next up was Kit Colbert explaining how vSphere\u00a0Integrated\u00a0Containers\u00a0has been expanded to provide a full container stack with deep integration into vSphere and the SDDC, enabling customers to run containers in production. He also gave an update on Photon Platform and how we\u2019re delivering on the promise of simplifying greenfield cloud native deployments.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Showcasing the Power of NSX and Virtual SAN<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s1\">Rajiv Ramaswami followed, describing his personal journey towards an increasing appreciation of the power of NSX. He called out 40+ NSX customers in Las Vegas who are showcasing how NSX has transformed their businesses and he ran compelling demos on how NSX can provision and secure apps and clouds.\u00a0Yanbing Li turned the spotlight to how customers can best simplify their cloud infrastructure in a Cross-Cloud world, with a focus on Hyper-Converged Infrastructure enabling a seamless path from virtualization to VMware Cloud Foundation.\u00a0The key takeaways? NSX is real and on fire with &gt;400% customer growth in the last 18 months! This is the year of Virtual SAN, with more than 5,000 customers today and the majority of workloads powered by Virtual SAN used for mission-critical applications!<\/span><\/p>\n<h1 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Keynote Replays &amp; Links:<\/b><\/span><\/h1>\n<p class=\"p1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-195\" src=\"http:\/\/192.168.0.2\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/jho_4.jpg\" alt=\"jho_4\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=owThAMzhMKE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Introducing a new Era of Freedom and Controls \u2013 Pat Gelsinger<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vmworld.com\/en\/us\/learning\/general-sessions.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Monday\u00a0General Session: Competitive Advantage in the Multi-Cloud Era \u2013 Connecting People, Apps &amp; Data to Propel your Business Forward<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-201\" src=\"http:\/\/192.168.0.2\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/288_sanjay2.jpg\" alt=\"288_sanjay2\" width=\"288\" height=\"192\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.vmware.com\/radius\/sanjay-p-audio-clips-wrapper-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Making the End-User Experience &#8220;Consumer Simple &#8212; Enterprise Secure&#8221; &#8211; Sanjay Poonen<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-207\" src=\"http:\/\/192.168.0.2\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/288_ray.jpg\" alt=\"288_ray\" width=\"288\" height=\"192\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vmworld.com\/en\/us\/learning\/general-sessions.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tuesday General Session: SDDC Innovations for the Mobile Cloud Era \u2013 Ray O&#8217;Farrell<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-212\" src=\"http:\/\/192.168.0.2\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/288_kit.jpg\" alt=\"288_kit\" width=\"288\" height=\"192\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vmworld.com\/en\/us\/learning\/general-sessions.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tuesday General Session: Building Apps in the Mobile Cloud Era \u2013 Kit Colbert<\/a><\/span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-216\" src=\"http:\/\/192.168.0.2\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/288_rajiv.jpg\" alt=\"288_rajiv\" width=\"288\" height=\"192\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vmworld.com\/en\/us\/learning\/general-sessions.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tuesday General Session:\u00a0NSX: Game-Changing Networking &amp; Security for Cross-Cloud &#8211; Rajiv Ramaswami<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Another year and another VMworld attended by thousands of your peers and customers.
