What was your best Explore story?

At VMware Explore 2022, the first day started with a keynote session where industry experts shared their insights on emerging technologies, and the future of enterprise IT and multi-cloud. After that, everyone went and explored and attended their own sessions, but I had an awesome opportunity to participate in meetings with different business units, such as Cloud Director/VCPP, vRealize (Aria), AVI Vantage (NSX ALB), Cloud Foundation (VCF) and it was an enriching experience to collaborate with Vice Presidents, R&D Managers/Engineers, Architects and show case what I have deployed and architected.

In conclusion, the VMware Explore event was an enriching experience, and I was excited that I got to participate in different business units meetings. I gained a broader understanding of how the company operates, and the role of each team in delivering value to customers. I left VMware Explore feeling more enlightened and empowered, ready to tackle any challenge in the business world.

With all these organizations trying to be multi-cloud centric it is hard to set up and control all those environments. Organizations that have Amazon Web Services or Azure and they run VMware Clouds on top of those environments, well that’s a tedious job to keep control and tabs on everything. Creating dashboards and information from a high level for leadership will let them know what kind of costs and consumption they are utilizing for their workloads. Well, with VMware Aria Hub – it is now possible to keep track of everything, from cost to capacity and consumption and how they can scale back workloads without compromising the business aspect and goals!
