Alright, Day 2 General Session Time!  They hinted at a big announcement, so let’s see what they got for today!

• Michael Dell and Pat Gelsinger start off with a “fireside chat” to answer submitted questions by attendees.
• Acknowledged disappointing customer satisfaction for support.
• Skyline from VMware for proactive support coming.
• New AI and machine learning along with quantum computing are creating a new human-machine interactive atmosphere that isn’t just IT focused.  It also will involve C level executives to be successful.
• Everyone needs to integrate machine learning and AI into their product.
• The next 30 years are going to make the previous 30 years look boring.
• Today in tech will be the slowest tech day for the rest of your life.
• Reinforced VMware as an open ecosystem for competition, not VMware as some kind of subsidiary of DellEMC.  “If it’s good for VMware, it’s good for Dell.”  The ecosystem is growing, which I actually agree.
• Pivotal – Cloud Foundry is used in over 50% of Fortune 500 companies.
• Pivotal Container Services announced, which will include Kubernetes and NSX.
• Google Cloud Services will be in all Kubernetes containers.
• Demo of AppDefense looks good.  Checksums of app files, identification of normal behaviors, notifications, remediation behaviors.
• Elastic DRS – add more hosts in AWS when running out of capacity.
• Integration with AWS into vCenter, capacity will be reflected even down to vRealize Operations Manager.
• Network Insight can identify good candidates for migrations into AWS.
• vRealize Automation can then migrate the workload.
• That’s A LOT of products from VMware to all this though, but cool nonetheless.
• NSX Cloud to hacwe consistent security and consumption across multiple clubs.
• Wavefront is SaaS is application monitoring and analysis.
• Wrkspace ONE Intelligence takes that analysis “the last mile”.
• VMware Pulse IoT Center is a family of IoT solutions.  This is more of a future product.
