Twenty-four Hours in a Private Cloud with Dell and Microsoft

By   |  

I am excited to announce Dell’s participation as a Platinum Sponsor at Microsoft’s “24 Hours in a Private Cloud” virtual event today, Thursday, May 10. This event is an awesome learning opportunity for organizations developing public and private cloud strategies.

Organizations have a lot of strategic cloud implementation options and opportunities, such as choosing a cloud technology, defining the mix of public and private clouds and preparing for cloud management. This event will provide a concise snapshot of the critical decision points and best practices and will be chock full of educational presentations and thought-leadership discussions with top cloud experts.

As a Platinum Sponsor, Dell will be an active contributor to the day’s events. Participants can join Dell for a 20-minute keynote, an AIM-Systems Center Demo and a breakout session showcasing our vStart solutions. We will be sharing our Practical Path to the Cloud, including:

  • How to Velocitize Virtualization with vStart
  • The advantages of Dell OpenManage Integration with Systems Center
  • Accelerating virtualization adoption with Dell AIM

We also encourage participants to visit us at the Dell Virtual Booth during the event to interact with Dell cloud experts and to learn more about Dell’s cloud solutions.

24 Hours in a Private Cloud starts NOW. You can register for the event here. Microsoft will also record the day’s events for those that are unable to attend or want to access the content after the event. Sign up here to watch recordings after the event.
