‘REDEFINING’ Converged Infrastructure at EMC World 2014

May 5 at EMC World in Las Vegas, VCE™ will highlight the latest and greatest in converged infrastructure to simplify the journey to the cloud. With in-depth product demonstrations, customer testimonies and technical sessions, EMC World will give attendees an inside look at how VCE is redefining IT.

VCE will have a strong presence at this year’s event with presentations at our booth and on stage. Don’t miss Jeremy Lawrence of Eclipse Aerospace and VCE’s own John Lockyer on Wednesday, May 7 from 8:30 – 9:30 a.m. in Liddo 3005, discussing the challenges Eclipse faced in its data center and their firsthand transformational experience with the Vblock™ System.

EMC is featuring VCE in its Build-A-Hybrid-Cloud LIVE in the Solution Pavilion (Booth #850). In addition to 19 live demonstrations of IaaS, PaaS and Hybrid Cloud use-cases, VCE and EMC will build a cloud – from crate to operational – in 48 hours on the show floor. Attendees will learn how to transform their infrastructures to deliver cloud services. The demonstration will prove how customers and partners can quickly and easily realize business value through Vblock Systems. Our ability to help enterprises rapidly deliver cloud services on-demand while reducing costs and simplifying operations is second to none.
