Sure Heads for the Cloud in Las Vegas

Richard Moore, Sure’s International’s Data Centre and Hosted Services Product Manager, has travelled to one of the world’s leading Cloud technology conferences this week, to uncover some of the technologies that will help Sure customers deliver greater flexibility and efficiency in their businesses in the coming years.

VMworld 2016 is billed as “four full days of innovation to accelerate your journey to a software-defined business” and is organised by one of the world’s leading virtualisation firms, VMware. 

“We are determined to give island businesses access to the latest Cloud innovations, technologies that enable firms to become more mobile, more efficient and more flexible,” said Richard. 

“From Jersey, we will always have a limited view of the technological landscape, so to get a real understanding of where things are going and to meet with those people developing the latest technologies, we have to visit major conferences like VM world.” 

In previous years, conference delegates have seen the launch of some of the most disruptive technologies in the world of cloud computing. Richard’s aim is to bring back a carefully curated selection of these technologies. 

“This year, a key theme of the event is ‘competitive advantage in the multi-Cloud era’,” said Richard. “Keynote speakers will discuss ways in which products in the VMware ecosystem can be used to break down IT silos, and allow workloads to move seamlessly between clouds. 

“One particularly futuristic theme is, ‘Seeing and Creating the Unimaginable’. This focuses on digital transformation, the Internet of Things (IoT), and artificial intelligence with speakers describing the ways in which we are venturing to the outer limits of our imagination, in an age where ‘satellites are locating lost cities, 3D printers are creating entire robots, synthetic biology is re-envisioning the future of space travel’.” 

With such a range of topics and hundreds of companies represented, Richard will certainly be kept busy at VMworld 2016, for the full four days of the event.
