Two weeks ago we delivered EMC’s “Virtualization Week”, which was held at the EMC Executive Briefing Center in Singapore. Each quarter we run this event for EMC and VMware customers throughout Asia Pacific. While many of the customers visited to hear the joint EMC and VMware vision, we also hosted VMware’s customers that choose EMC’s competitors for their primary storage.
At this quarter’s V-week we had two honored guest speakers: EMC vSpecialist CTO, Scott Lowe and VMware’s Michael White. Scott led discussions for all the attendees on key technologies from EMC and VMware. We talked View, VPLEX, SRM, vSphere, Isilon, HA, RSA, vShield, and much more. Michael led conversations focused on SRM and View so he could bring back to VMware ideas that shape their future products.
Customers that visit V-week enjoy a full day of deep discussions with experts like Scott and Michael. We customize the agenda for each attendee to make sure they are getting the information they need to push their virtualization projects forward. At this quarter’s V-week, we also hosted non-EMC discussions. These included a book signing for the Singapore VCP club and a full day dedicated to large scale design led by Scott Lowe.
If you are interested in attending a V-week in Singapore please contact me. We recruit the world’s best speakers and technical experts to lead the discussions most relevant to you. Depending on your need we’ll talk EMC, VMware, or EMC+VMware. Either way, you will be our valued guest and we hope to show you some local hospitality.

Every year it becomes more obvious that we are moving to a world based on software-as-a-service. That our high processing desktop and notebook computers will go to the trash heap seems to be a forgone conclusion. Steve Jobs calls this the “post PC era”. Paul Maritz and Steve Herrod followed suit at VMworld 2011 by agreeing with Jobs and further nudging users towards a device-independent model.
