Title: Kubernetes and Open Source - What Do They Mean for IT?
Abstract: The transformation of IT through open source has been an ongoing process for literally decades. Many layers of the enterprise software stack have seen an influx of open source technologies, from Linux as OS to Spring/Java as application platform to more recently Kubernetes as the orchestration engine. Craig and Dirk will discuss a bit of the history and motivation of these changes and focus on the impact this has and will continue to have on the IT environments that our customers are building, running, and managing.

David SommervilleEnterprises are increasingly moving to modern device management, and in large, distributed environments, quickly delivering content across the network without disrupting business processes remains a persistent challenge and creates issues with production traffic and software delivery success rates. Adaptiva OneSite VMware Edition is a peer-to-peer (P2P) content distribution engine that provides the fastest way to securely and reliably distribute software across an enterprise, and was chosen by VMware for integration after a competitive evaluation.
•Guaranteed content delivery: OneSite adapts to network constraints and latency to ensure content reaches the endpoint without impacting production traffic
• Accelerate distribution: Download once from the cloud and then automatically distribute throughout the environment using peer-to-peer technology
Tyler RohrerWhile virtualization certainly amplified our capital budgets, allowing us to optimize and extend the hardware, software, and networking assets we placed in service - end user computing has proven to be a bit more of a challenge. As one of the founding members of VMware’s Enterprise Desktop Team in 2008 – T.Rex will walk the audience through the progression from VMware VDM 1.0 back in the day, up and through the current deployment options with Workspace One, Horizon, and the Cloud (all of them) The power of security, agility, automation, and scale that we see in Cloud was inherited from those early adopters and pioneers of vSphere years and years ago. Once again, the direct translation to End User Computing continued to escape us. Until now. And given the need for remote supremacy in today modern and exposed workforce is mandatory. This session will explore how to take the core concepts of on premise virtualization and VDI and extend and enhance them in the cloud. The pilots, POC's, and bakeoffs of yesterday are the foundation for your journey into Cloud Staging. Cloud Staging is a logical methodology to take what you have considered, tested, or deployed to date - and maximize your investment in people, products, and process into the Cloud while minimizing risk.

Colby MooneyIt’s not too difficult to see the need for a service like Horizon on VMC on AWS. Whether you’re looking at building up new IT infrastructure, expanding past current data center limitations, advancing your market into a new geography, moving closer to application locality, or delivering business continuity; Horizon on VMC on AWS could be a great fit. Horizon on VMC on AWS allows those who are already familiar with Horizon 7 on-premises to leverage the same architecture and tools while outsourcing the vSphere management. Cloud Pod Architecture can be leveraged to deploy a hybrid cloud environment interconnecting on-premises Horizon pods with Horizon pods hosted on VMC on AWS. Leveraging 16 different AWS regions, Horizon workloads can be deployed to many more locations, providing better end user experience for remote users and a better geographical DR solution. Additionally, we have the ability to leverage AWS Native services for Active Directory, DNS, DHCP, etc. or you have the option to connect to on-premises via DX or VPN.
James StreitVMware NSX-T provides significant networking and security benefits to an existing or new virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) through micro-segmentation, virtualized network services and features, and agentless partner off-load services to increase the overall end-user experience. The design and architecture of an NSX-T environment for VMware Horizon will be discussed. This session will examine the benefits of NSX-T features, such as load balancing for Horizon components, and how the NSX-T Distributed Logical Router can reduce network hair-pinning across your physical devices and provide VM isolation. See how to leverage the NSX-T Distributed Firewall for security with micro-segmentation, and utilize NSX-T Guest Introspection for agentless anti-virus/anti-malware protection with VMware certified partners.

Gabe KnuthWindows apps are still around so we keep Windows around. First we moved our apps and desktops to the datacenter, and now we’re thinking about the cloud. DaaS has been grown in popularity and evolved as a concept since the late 2000’s. Desktone set the stage for desktops being delivered from the public cloud, and eventually evolved into VMware Horizon Cloud. Now that Microsoft has Windows Virtual Desktop, Gabe Knuth will spend some time on the details of this partnership its combined capabilities.

Kevin TebearLearn how a small engineering business in Lino Lakes, Minnesota built a private cloud with VMware Cloud Foundation and Horizon to provide 3D CAD and knowledge worker desktops to their employees enabling full business continuity with minor loss of productivity. The standardized architecture and deployment of Horizon on VMware Cloud Foundation, along with lifecycle management of the entire SDDC, make the efficiencies and of cloud a reality for this business.
2:00 - 2:05 PM CT 2:05 - 2:35 PM CT Auditorium Colby MooneyWhat is Windows Virtual Desktop? The best way to think of WVD is as a collection of Azure resources dedicated to remote Windows desktops. On top of that, Microsoft built a set of features that customers with certain license types are entitled to. Those features include support for Windows 10 multi-session (which is like traditional RDSH servers, but with Windows 10 instead of Windows Server) and Windows 7 with free Extended Security Updates until Jan 2023. WVD has certain standalone capabilities, but they’re limited. Horizon Cloud offers more features and value. It also integrates nicely with some of the prior existing features of WVD, such as FSLogix. VMware has a desktop virtualization platform built on Azure called “Horizon Cloud on Microsoft Azure.” This has been around for several years and now our partnership with Microsoft allows us to run the features of Windows Virtual Desktop through our platform. Horizon Cloud Service takes many of the key components of a VDI/RDS platform and makes them available as a cloud-based application offered as a service. The intent is to provide a single place to go and manage multiple Horizon deployments, along with common features and functions such as; pod deployment, user assignments, image management, monitoring, and helpdesk. It’s likely you’ve likely heard about Horizon running on other platforms, too, but the only place you can run these exclusive features (Win 10 Multi-session and Windows 7 w/ free ESU) is on Azure.
Harsha NagarajuWorkspace ONE delivers an engaging “any app, any device” experience that employees love.

Sean MasseyWork no longer means putting in eight hours each day at the office. Today's technology allows businesses to deliver unprecidented choice and mobility to their employees. But choice and mobility also bring management challenges. Devices and applications still need to be secured and updated - tasks that are made harder when the machine is not on the network. Learn how Workspace ONE can bridge this management gap for Windows 10 and Office 365 to the business
