FROM THE EDITORS VIRTUAL DESK
Hi everyone, this week I have something really exciting to share with you. We have just had released the "Forrester Total Economic Impact™ (TEI) Study for VMware TAM". As a TAM this is really great news and I want to make sure that you and your colleagues get this report and share it. This is a fantastic report on how the VMware TAM program delivers unparalleled value to our VMware TAM customers. Here is some more information and direct links.
"The study found a 301% ROI, less than 6 month payback, and $2.8M NPV from the VMware TAM service over a 3 year time period. Customers cited multiple benefits, including better access to VMware resources, better strategic planning, and better VMware solution utilization and performance." - Andy Nederveld, Americas TAM Practice Lead.

The True Tale of How VMware IT Live-Migrated 4000+ VMs
When: Jun 11, 2019 9:00 AM in Pacific Time (US and Canada)
VMware IT just completed moving its most critical production workloads to an entirely different physical data center, with a mere four hours of downtime. We will showcase this fascinating story of data center lifecycle including challenges and lessons learned. We will share the critical roles that planning and prioritization play, and our key strategies on moving the related infrastructure and services along with the workload. We will also review how we prepared our network to facilitate this migration, and how we leveraged a minimum of downtime to unravel the complexity.
