FROM THE EDITORS VIRTUAL DESK
Hi everyone, with VMworld fast approaching I wanted go make sure that all TAM customers are getting ready for the most amazing event, and more specifically the TAM portions of VMworld. Each year at VMworld we have a number of exclusive TAM activities and areas for our TAM customers to enjoy. The major part of this is TAM Customer Central (TCC). As a TAM customer this is your one place at VMworld where you will get exclusive access to many activities. For more information on this please check out this link which provides more information.
This week we also have a new TAM Blog to provide to you written by Luciano Gomez, a TAM working in beautiful Brazil. Please check out the blog post entitled "Providing Insight into VM Deployment Status with vRA".
For the past 4 editions of the newsletter I have been providing this from Brisbane, Australia where I started my TAM Career at VMware. It has been a pleasure to be back, however it is now time for me to return to beautiful San Francisco where I will bring you another great newsletter next week.
Virtually Yours
