VMTurbo Makes VMworld Dreams Come True

VMTurbo, the only software-driven control platform for the software-defined world announced that it will be giving away passes to VMworld Europe in Barcelona in October in its VMworld Europe Sweepstakes starting this Friday, August 22.

Every Friday in June, VMTurbo gave away two full conference passes to VMworld U.S, held at the Moscone Center in San Francisco August 24-28. Each Friday, one winner and a lucky friend punched their ticket to the Super Bowl of virtualization, and those winners will be joining VMTurbo (VMworld booth #405) to learn about the cutting edge of technologies enabling the software-defined data center.

Key technology innovations that VMTurbo will be demonstrating at VMworld include:

  • VMTurbo’s Software-Driven Control expanded across the IT stack with new hardware support built into Control Modules for Storage and Fabric. This provides customers the ability to drive more comprehensive management of virtualized workloads in converged infrastructure such as Flexpod and Vblock, as well as in storage control, including support for EMC VNX, enabling up to 30% improvement in utilization
  • New support for OpenStack, including contributions back to the community building instrumentation for Software-Driven Control into the OpenStack Java SDK, as well as contributing to Ceilometer (OpenStack Unified Instrumentation/Metering) and Nova (OpenStack Compute) projects, joining our existing support for VMware, Microsoft, RedHat and Citrix environments
  • The new ability to reserve capacity for future workloads, by enabling not only the scheduling of those workloads but for VMTurbo to reserve adequate capacity for those workloads to launch when needed

With the VMworld Europe Sweepstakes, VMTurbo is continuing its tradition of sending as many IT pros to VMworld as possible. “We’re leading the software-defined revolution, breaking down datacenter boundaries to bring workload demand into equilibrium with resource capacity – from the spindles of your on-prem datastores to the heftiest VM you’ve provisioned in the Amazon cloud,” said CMO Geeta Sachdev. “Why shouldn’t we unleash our customers and others who can benefit from learning about Software-Driven Control?”

Enter the VMTurbo VMworld Europe sweepstakes today, and check in this Friday for results of the first drawing. Winners will be selected the next 3 Fridays - August 22, 29, & September 5.

The many IoT deployments around the world are busy integrating smart devices and sensors into their enterprise IT infrastructures. Yet all of this technology – and there are an amazing number of choices – is of no use without the software to gather, communicate, and analyze the new data flows. Without software, there is no IT. In this power panel at @ThingsExpo, moderated by Conference Chair Roger Strukhoff, Dave McCarthy, Director of Products at Bsquare Corporation; Alan Williamson, Principal ...
Amazon has gradually rolled out parts of its IoT offerings in the last year, but these are just the tip of the iceberg. In addition to optimizing their back-end AWS offerings, Amazon is laying the ground work to be a major force in IoT – especially in the connected home and office. Amazon is extending its reach by building on its dominant Cloud IoT platform, its Dash Button strategy, recently announced Replenishment Services, the Echo/Alexa voice recognition control platform, the 6-7 strategic...

Growth hacking is common for startups to make unheard-of progress in building their business. Career Hacks can help Geek Girls and those who support them (yes, that's you too, Dad!) to excel in this typically male-dominated world. Get ready to learn the facts: Is there a bias against women in the tech / developer communities? Why are women 50% of the workforce, but hold only 24% of the STEM or IT positions? Some beginnings of what to do about it! In her Day 2 Keynote at 17th Cloud Expo, Sandy Ca...
The “Digital Era” is forcing us to engage with new methods to build, operate and maintain applications. This transformation also implies an evolution to more and more intelligent applications to better engage with the customers, while creating significant market differentiators. In both cases, the cloud has become a key enabler to embrace this digital revolution. So, moving to the cloud is no longer the question; the new questions are HOW and WHEN. To make this equation even more complex, most...

More and more brands have jumped on the IoT bandwagon. We have an excess of wearables – activity trackers, smartwatches, smart glasses and sneakers, and more that track seemingly endless datapoints. However, most consumers have no idea what “IoT” means. Creating more wearables that track data shouldn't be the aim of brands; delivering meaningful, tangible relevance to their users should be. We're in a period in which the IoT pendulum is still swinging. Initially, it swung toward "smart for smart...
Providing secure, mobile access to sensitive data sets is a critical element in realizing the full potential of cloud computing. However, large data caches remain inaccessible to edge devices for reasons of security, size, format or limited viewing capabilities. Medical imaging, computer aided design and seismic interpretation are just a few examples of industries facing this challenge. Rather than fighting for incremental gains by pulling these datasets to edge devices, we need to embrace the i...
