We are excited to announce the VMware Hands-on
Labs for 2014 with new ways for you to experience
VMware products in real time. Labs focused on the
Software-Defined Data Center, enterprise mobility, and
the hybrid cloud will debut just a few clicks away at
VMworld 2014 in San Francisco. We have almost 50 lab
topics with more than 200 modules for you to explore.
Welcome New Hands-on Labs Users
This year we have developed specific lab content for users who are new to
VMware products. These topics are designated with the terms “101” or
“from A to Z” in the title. If you are new to the labs, be sure to start here.
Expert-Led Workshops (ELW)
These workshops provide intimate access to VMware product experts
in an engaging, hands-on instructional environment. Get your questions
answered and discuss solutions in a group setting. Expert-Led Workshops
are presented at VMworld in San Francisco and Barcelona, Partner Exchange,
and at smaller events throughout the world.
VMware Product Experts
We will have almost 300 experts on site at VMworld to answer any and all
questions about our products and solutions. Our web site is a great place
to get questions answered by fellow Hands-on Lab users. Our passion for
delivering Hands-on Labs runs deep, and we hope that you take advantage
of the opportunity to log in and take a lab.
