Introduction to Virtual Desktop Infrastructure with VMware View
May 24th 2012 9:00 AM Pacific Daylight Time (GMT -08:00, San Francisco)
Although the capital expenditures for traditional computers have decreased over time, the operational costs of managing these desktops have increased significantly because of the escalating complexity of tasks, labor costs and security concerns. End users are also tied to a single piece of hardware to access all their data and applications, which limits mobility and causes frustration. Learn how virtual desktops using VMware View™ can meet these challenges by providing end-user freedom while maintaining IT control.

Attend this webcast to learn how to:
  • Deliver the right desktop environment to end users to ensure maximum productivity
  • Reduce the complexity associated with managing desktops and support users who are local or remote

Solving the Data Challenge for Real-Time Awareness and Risk Assessment
June 15th 2011 9:00 AM Pacific Daylight Time (GMT -08:00, San Francisco)
Real-time, global data updates have become a critical business requirement for financial-services firms. Overnight or hourly batch jobs can cause erroneous results and missed opportunities. New regulatory requirements dictate real-time reporting of liquidity; traders want access to real-time market and risk positions; and the time windows for relevancy of cross-selling and marketing opportunities are getting shorter. To deal with these issues and new requirements, firms need to be able to react quickly to changes in data. Quick reactions require near-instant access to data, risk analysis and deeper computational analysis for effective decision making.

Attend this webcast to learn how to achieve real-time awareness by:
  • Managing ever-increasing data volumes and transaction rates
  • Supporting a single, consistent view of a global business while running on regionally provisioned hardware
  • Integrating various client systems as active subscribers to different slices of rapidly changing data
  • Overcoming the scale and latency issues associated with traditional relational database management system (RDBMS) models

Accelerating Cloud Computing Adoption by Federal Agencies
June 16th 2011 10:00 AM Pacific Daylight Time (GMT -08:00, San Francisco)
The U.S. Office of Management and Budget's "Cloud First" policy requires federal agencies to choose a cloud solution before initiating any new IT program. Yet, in an April 2011 Meritalk survey sponsored by VMware, 79 percent of federal CIOs and IT managers say their agencies are not following the mandated policy. Most IT managers say the deadline for moving existing applications to the cloud is aggressive, and only half anticipate meeting these goals. Are security and ownership concerns preventing agencies from moving forward?

At VMware, we believe the key to accelerating safe and secure adoption of cloud computing is to pool virtual infrastructure resources in your existing datacenter and deliver them to users as a catalog-based service using VMware vCloud™ Director coupled with VMware vSphere®. VMware vCloud Director enables government agencies to build secure private clouds, transforming the way IT delivers and manages infrastructure services and the way users access and consume those services.

Attend this webcast and vCloud demonstration to learn how to:
  • Increase organizational agility by empowering users to deploy preconfigured or custom-built services with the click of a button
  • Maintain security and control over a multitenant environment with policy-based user controls and VMware vShield™ security technologies
  • Reduce costs by efficiently delivering resources to internal organizations as virtual datacenters to increase consolidation and simplify management
  • Follow an evolutionary path to the cloud by leveraging existing investments and open standards for interoperability and application portability

The Post-PC Era in the Federal Government
February 22nd 2012 10:00 AM Pacific Standard Time (GMT -08:00, San Francisco)
Doug Bourgeois, VP of Cloud Computing at VMware Federal, recently wrote on his blog, "The rate of adoption for tablets and mobile devices is staggering. It took 21 years from the time the first PC shipped for the number of annual shipments to exceed one million. In stark contrast, it took only four years for the modern tablet to reach one million shipments." This trend is not lost on Federal agencies, as demonstrated by recent mobile pilot programs by the US Departments of Transportation, Homeland Security and Veterans' Affairs, as well as DISA and the U.S. Army. While the traditional PC may never entirely die off, its role has already diminished considerably. The rise of the post-PC era is a key enabler of the significant trends noted in the recent Gartner report: Media Tablets and Beyond, Mobile Centric Applications and Interfaces, and the Internet of Things.

Attend this webcast to learn how VMware technology is impacting three important building blocks of mobile computing in the Federal space. Learn how to embrace the post-PC era, including:
  • Desktop from the cloud: The ability of agency personnel and designated contractors to access their desktop resources (applications and data) from the cloud or datacenter.
  • Messaging and collaboration: How email, IM, shared workspaces and file sharing tools may be implemented individually or as an integrated solution.
  • Mobile-centric applications: New or legacy applications either purchased or delivered via non-PC devices and/or through the cloud.
