  • VMware Validated Design at VMworld 2016

    One of the things I’ve been meaning to write about more is the cool technology that I didn’t realize existed inside the VMware portfolio.

    PEX 2014 - VMware Partner Exchange RegistrationPEX 2014 is actually going to be my first VMware Partner Exchange. Exciting! The full pass is booked and paid for. No turning back now!
