What a conference



VMworld is the annual VMware conference at which the company showcases technological innovations. Each event brings together 13 thousand IT professionals. For comparison, at the first conference in 2004 there were only 1.5 thousand.



The following thematic areas were identified in the VMworld 2019 program: hybrid and multi-cloud environments, application administration, network security, as well as machine learning and IoT. In just four days, more than 600 panels will be held .



What will they talk about



About changes in the architecture of data centers. In the data center, data transfer over the network is ten times slower than local access to RAM. For some tasks, this difference is negligible and is partially offset by technologies such as RDMA (remote direct memory access). Therefore, one of the key topics of the conference will be VMware Cluster Memory. With it, data center operators can build clusters from so-called memory servers. These servers provide on-demand memory for ESXi hosts and virtual machines. At the conference, VMware engineers will reveal the principles of a special page mechanism that is needed to address to a remote server instead of a local disk.



VMware representatives will also talk about the software stack for building software-defined data centers.



About hybrid clouds. They will discuss tools for IaaS providers. For example, a vRealize Suite system for managing various combinations of cloud environments. Master classes on its debugging and administration are expected. Kubernetes will not pass by. VMware Technology Director Cormac Hogan and colleagues will tell you how to deploy containerized applications on vSphere so that their performance does not degrade.

About network solutions. In particular, about VMware NSX SD-WAN. The system simplifies the distribution of security policies in a multi-cloud environment. VMware experts will also tell you how to protect networks in the data center of a cloud provider.



About setting up a digital workspace. In addition to tools for providers, they will talk about tools for users of cloud services. They will talk about the innovations of Workspace ONE. This is a solution for administering applications on desktops and mobile devices. This is about the Intelligent Hub feature for identifying users with BYOD , which replaced AirWatch Agent. Identity Manager for credential management will not be forgotten.



The speakers will also analyze the capabilities of VMware Horizon 7 and solutions of partner companies: SAP, NetApp and Oracle. VMware engineers will conduct a series of workshops on how to configure them in a virtual environment. The conference will also include an open discussion with specialists in the field of end-user computing . They will answer questions about the operation of remote access systems to corporate resources.



What else to wait



Among other topics of the conference is machine learning. How artificial intelligence systems and peripheral computing will change the business processes of companies in the next 3-5 years. Speakers will discuss smart algorithms that will improve the quality of technical support and help shape user behavior patterns. A full list of topics, speakers and a schedule of speeches is on the official website of the event .

Also at VMworld 2019, a technology exhibition will be held where IT companies will display their stands. Lakeside will show a solution for AIOps. Intel, Dell, Veeam, LG and many others will bring their products.



During the conference, live broadcasts of speeches will be held. Therefore, you can visit VMworld without leaving your home. The recordings will later be uploaded to the video library , where presentations of speakers over the past four years are collected.
