FROM THE EDITORS VIRTUAL DESK
Hi everyone, after almost 2 weeks of VMworld's in Las Vegas and now Barcelona brought us so much great news and announcements. We have tried to bring you great coverage from our dedicated VMware TAM Twitter account for both events. We provided some great coverage, updates, competitions and highlights on our @VMwareTAM Twitter account. The newsletter too has played its part and continues to do so with more updates this week and beyond as we continue on our journey together. I look forward to the next year of innovation towards VMworld 2018. Chat to your TAM if you need any information on anything from VMworld US and Europe and they will be able to assist you.
