Scott Lowe - VMworld Re-Cap

The main message from VMworld 2015, Ready for any! Ready for any business challenge.

Four key areas of focus for VMware:
RUN, BUILD, DELIVER, SECURE
The run, build, deliver and security are natural extension of One Cloud and allow for delivery of applications to any device, maintained and delivered securely.

Scott mentioned some announcements around:
SDDC
Unified Hybrid Cloud
Vrealize
Availability
Openstack

VMware Integrated Openstack - fastest and most reliable route to running a production-grade.
OpenStack, if you are a "linuxy" type person, setting up openstack can be challenging. VMware is making this more simple. 

Benefits include one support call for Openstack.
