The combination of VMWare vSphere 5 and Dell EqualLogic storage solutions prove to be a winner in more ways than one

We recently ran a series of free half-day technical briefings on the subject of VMware vSphere 5 and Dell EqualLogic storage solutions.

The events were a great success, with delegates picking up invaluable pointers to help them in creating and managing their cloud computing solutions. Our own VExpert, Barry Coombs, was on hand to showcase the powerful features of VMware vSphere 5 to the assembled masses, as well as representatives from Dell.

Events were held at Cardiff Millennium Centre, Castle Coombe Race Circuit, the Flybe Training Academy at Exeter Airport and Gloucester Race Course. Perhaps the attraction of these venues had something to do with the fact that we had 25-35 delegates at each event, which was obviously great news for us, but also great news for the delegates themselves who were able to share their knowledge and have in-depth discussions during the morning and over lunch with like-minded IT professionals.

Because of their success, we are planning to run another series of free half-day briefings in the New Year. Places are limited, so please email us now to register your interest in attending or call 01454 338390 to find out more.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

Any IT Manager, System Administrator, IT Director or other IT personnel who currently has a physical environment, manages a VMware or a shared storage / Dell EqualLogic environment (whether a single EqualLogic chassis or multi-chassis set-up). The event would also be suitable for customers who are currently assessing the VMware route to virtualisation, disaster recovery and business continuity.

WHAT'S IN IT FOR ME?

You will pick up a comprehensive overview of the VMware and EqualLogic inter-relationship. We'll be giving live demonstrations of the close integration between VMware, Veeam and EqualLogic. And you'll have an opportunity to discuss the subject with like-minded professionals in an informative yet informal environment.
