Are you attending VMworld 2017 in Las Vegas, NV?  If so, I invite you to add Stromasys to your MUST SEE list of vendors. 

With so many vendors exhibiting at VMworld, how do you know which booths to visit and who to get on your busy schedule?  One of the company's on VMblog's list this year is Stromasys.  I really like what they are doing, enabling customers to move their critical legacy applications to the cloud with their Charon solution.  Here's more about the company:

As part of VMblog's live VMworld 2017 coverage coming up next month, we're in the process of working up our schedules to make sure we can see and learn as much as possible when the show kicks off.  VMworld is the leading virtualization event, and there is no shortage of great information coming out of the keynotes, the breakout sessions, the networking and more.  But every year, one of the key places to learn a lot in a short amount of time is the Solutions Expo where valuable vendors from the VMware ecosystem and beyond setup shop to display their wares. 

But with so many vendors exhibiting at VMworld, how do you know which booths to visit and who to get on your busy schedule?

For years now, I've had the pleasure to speak with the team from Vembu Technologies on different occasions, most recently at a local VMUG.  But next month, I look forward to meeting with them at VMworld to find out what's new.  Not only did they recently refresh their corporate logo, but they also have a new release of their Vembu BDR Suite to talk about.
