Its with great pleasure we can finally release the details of our next event and first event for 2017. With a lot of planning and some rescheduling we can finally pin down a date and have all the speakers lined up, this event promises to be full of great content.
The date of the event will be Thursday March 23rd and the venue will be the same as the previous one - The Royal Station Hotel in Newcastle. At the last event we got some great feedback about the venue and decided to stick with it. Details of the venue can be found here.
The line up is as follows
Representing VMware
- Lee Dilworth (VMware EMEA Practice Lead – Storage & Availability) @leedilworth
“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.”
- Atif Qadeer (VMware Senior Systems Engineer) @atifqdr
“VMware Cloud on AWS; offering you the best of both worlds. Everything you need to know about VMware’s virtualization and management software to seamlessly deploy and manage VMware workloads across all of their on-premises and AWS environments.”
