Dimension Data and VMware are organising a joint event, the Cloud Foundation Roadshow, on 14 November 2017 from 09:00 to 14:00 at Hotel Olivier in Strassen.

This event will enable you to be a first-row witness of how Cloud Foundation delivers a pre-built and validated architecture for your Cloud Infrastructure to provide ease of use, simplicity and to reduce risks for deploying and operating a programmable Software-defined infrastructure, which provides an API-first approach. Beyond that, we will take you on a journey to the advanced use cases of NSX & VSAN.

You will figure out that VMware offers with VIO a solid OpenStack platform that provides all the advantages of a standard industry framework, supported by a worldwide community, without the risk of maintaining an always changing collection of opensource modules.

Then, you will understand the advantages of VMware Cloud on AWS by opening up your private cloud platform toward the market leading Cloud Service Provider. The ability to migrate workloads to AWS and leverage all the cloud native AWS services for Big Data, Deep Learning or Artificial Intelligence open your Enterprise up to the Cloud and make it ready for the future. You keep the control by using your known VMware Enterprise Management tools.

A real customer case will highlight a three-year experience of running Enterprise and Telco workloads on fully virtualized network stack and a two-year experience with VSAN and VIO. Feel free to ask any question to go into the details about real life implementations!

Last but not least, we will explain how your enterprise can take innovations to production faster with Pivotal Container Service leveraging VMware SDDC as a unified infrastructure for containers and VMs. If you plan to develop for the cloud by using containers and microservices, find out how PCS simplifies the deployment and operations of Kubernetes-based container services.
