    • Featured Dell Technologies Sessions

    • Customer Insights: Best Practices for Modernizing IT Across Cloud and Edge [CODE1901LV]

      VxRail has been a catalyst to transform IT operations across core, edge and cloud for the last seven years. VMware and Dell Technologies' jointly engineered hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) solution has provided simplicity and scalability to address evolving workload demands by continuously innovating technology. Join us to review the current VxRail landscape and hear how our customers have adopted and expanded with VxRail as new use cases and business demands evolve.

      Speakers:
      Nancy Hurley, Director HCI Product Marketing, Dell Technologies

    • Silos to Synergy: How VxRail Creates Efficiency in Unique Edge Environments [CODE1882LV]

      Learn how Customer TBD extended consistent VMware operations across their edge environment with the smallest, most versatile VxRail to date. The new, ruggedized VxRail node—with a smaller form factor—is ideal for space-constrained and network-challenged, edge environments and is the industry’s first and only vSAN hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) system with an embedded vSAN witness. Rack it, stack it, or mount it on a wall, this solution brings all the benefits of VxRail to extreme locations or even a low power consumption option to your data center. Plus learn how integrating with VMware Edge Compute Stack can help you modernize and secure edge-native apps.

      Speakers:
      William Leslie, Director Technical Marketing Engineering, Dell Technologies

    • Networking in VMware Cloud Foundation, Technical Deep-Dive [NSCB1905LV]

      In this breakout session, we will take a deep dive into networking in VMware Cloud Foundation starting with best practices for physical network configuration, edge cluster automation and AVNs, and the distributed firewall then move up the stack to explore successful design patterns for edge clusters deployment in VI Workload Domains, NSX Threat Prevention, and NSX Federation with VMware Cloud Foundation.

      Speakers:
      Heath Reynolds, Cloud Strategist, VMware
