VMware Welcomes 4,500 Attendees and
Nearly 100 Sponsors and Exhibitors to Industry's First VMworld Virtualization
Conference in Europe
CANNES,
France, Feb. 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- VMware,
Inc. (NYSE: VMW) the global leader in virtualization solutions from the desktop
to the datacenter, opens the doors tomorrow to the first annual VMworld Europe
conference, which is being held February 26-28, 2008, in the Palais des
Festivals et des Congres, in Cannes, France.
More than 4,500 attendees from across
Europe, and close to 100 sponsors, have registered to attend the event
featuring presentations from industry experts and virtualization end users.
Attendees will have the chance to exchange information and ideas about how
organizations around the world are building, managing, and benefiting from
virtualizing increasingly more of their datacenters. The conference is
business-focused but with a decidedly technical slant, as VMware TSX Europe,
the company's annual technical symposium, has been incorporated into the show
to bring together customers, partners and technologists at the leading edge of
the industry.
"VMware is very excited to bring
VMworld to Europe," said Mark Stradling, VMware's vice president of EMEA.
"Virtualization is transforming computing -- both in the datacenter and on
the desktop -- and VMware continues to pave new ground as the virtualization
industry leader. This conference is a great opportunity to bring our customers
and partners together for what is sure to be a rewarding, educational, and
inspiring experience."
