Pulling IT teams together

Three new management suites were announced at VMworld Europe.

01 December 2011

Seven thousand people powered up on pastries and sandwiches heaped high at VMworld Europe 2011. In the three and a half days at the end of October, a river of coffee delivered real-world caffeine spurts. But visitors needed these to take in the keynote addresses, allday hands-on labs, and many other sessions ranging from the business of IT to deep tech. Eventually some slumped in beanbags in the giant atrium of the Bella Centre in Copenhagen, Denmark, beyond the reach of mere food and drink.

Heightened awareness was a must for the keynote address from VMware CTO and senior VP of R&D, Dr Steve Herrod, on Tuesday afternoon. In an hour and a half, Herrod sprinted across VMware’s solutions for socially connecting enterprise, virtualising enterprise-critical applications also across datacentres, and better managing virtualised environments for true IT-as-a-service.
