VMworld 2019 kicked off with VMware's CEO Pat Gelsinger taking the stage. VMware continues to be that innovative force in the age of what he calls. "Tech in the Age of Any". 

Pat Gelsinger began by speaking about the over four decades of disruptive innovations that VMware has brought to the industry beginning with vSphere, which virtualized the compute, to vSAN virtualization the for storage, NSX and SD-WAN to bring virtualization to the network, desktop virtualization with Horizon and Workspace One, and the hybrid-cloud with offerings like VMware Cloud on Amazon Web Services (VMC).

VMware remains committed to its customers to bring the vision of any device, any app, and any cloud. VMware is no longer talking about building on-premises solutions, public cloud, but just cloud. They are in the business of being the platform to build clouds regardless of location. With offerings like VMware Cloud Foundations as that building block for the cloud architectures bringing together the best of VMware vSphere, NSX, vSAN and more. Offerings like Cloud Foundations will allow customers to have a consistent infrastructure across all cloud environments giving them the ability to take advantage of the tools they've invested in while gaining agility, security, and control of their applications.
