Join your fellow VMworld attendees in a special bike ride and fun run on Wednesday, August 29 at Crissy Field (just steps from the world famous Golden Gate Bridge). You will enjoy a nice 5k run/walk taking in the sights of the San Francisco Bay, Alcatraz and historic Fort Point.

You will start the day meeting everyone at 5:00am, yes that is really early, in front of Moscone West and be shuttled to the starting point. From there the groups will head out and be returned to Moscone West by 8:00am, with time to shower and prepare for VMworld.

This is a great opportunity for you to meet some colleagues and network while getting the education and all that VMworld has to offer.

There is a cost associated with the Fun Run to cover basic costs, but a portion of the fee will be donated to Save the Bay; an organization dedicated to the preservation, protection and enrichment of the San Francisco Bay and Sacramento/San Joaquin Estuary.

Visit the sign-up page for more information and we look forward to seeing you on the roads.

SS1021 – Solutions for Automating IT in the Small-to-Midsize Business

One of the biggest differences in IT between Small-to-Midsize Businesses (SMB) and Large Enterprises, is simply the amount of IT resources available.  VMware is committed to bringing quality innovation to the SMB market, to provide the enterprise-class solutions it is known for, in a format that works well for smaller IT shops.  This session will cover current and future solutions for helping manage and automate IT functions, setting up Disaster Recovery solutions, and ensuring business continuity.

SS1020 – Managing the Realities of a Multi-Platform, Multi-Cloud World

With more options than ever for sourcing infrastructure services or hosting applications, the role of IT is evolving to become a broker of services. Customers are looking for cloud operations solutions that leverage existing investments in their heterogeneous datacenter while enjoying the benefits of public cloud services. This session will provide an overview of VMware's simplified approach to cloud operations, and how it enables policy-based, automated provisioning and management of services across VMware-, Amazon- and Microsoft-based clouds. Come hear how VMware can help transform chaos into a cohesive, integrated environment across clouds.
