FROM THE EDITORS VIRTUAL DESK
Hi everyone, with VMworld fast aproaching I have 2 call to actions for you. Firstly, if you haven't aleady done so get in contact with your TAM and work with them to create a plan for you while you are at VMworld if you are attanding. If you are unable to attend, you should also speak to your TAM to see what remote options will be made available and any particular asks you may have that they can fulfill on your behalf at the conference.
The next most important item is to make sure you are signed up to our TAM Social Media via Facebook and Twitter. This is important as we will be providing information prior to VMworld as well as during VMworld that is most appropriate. We will also have competitions and more during the event that you will miss out on if you have not subscribed. Please visit either or both of these and ensure you are subscribed to them.
This week we also bring you exciting news from VMUG on VMworld. Check out the information in the VMUG section below.
Finally please check out our TAM Blog's latest article - HOL vs Home Lab.
I wish you all a successful week ahead and look forward to chatting to you next week and on our social media channels throughout the week.
Virtually Yours
