ITR - IT Reality

Recorded on April 24th, 2024, Nathan, Richard, & Vince reconvene to discuss life and ramblings related to licensing/pricing changes for VMware technologies as part of the Broadcom chapter.

This episode is a compilation of many recordings captured in Las Vergas, NV at VMware Explore 2023. This one is better consumed on our Youtube channel but we are sharing the audio only version for those who prefer it.

We kicked off VMware Explore with a chat from our base of operations primarily discussing the travel challenges thanks to Hurricane Hillary. Then, we share snippets from interviews with Mike Masters, Franky Barragan, & of course NateDawg + HTownVinny. Richard was hard to keep up with but he contributed!

While we spent most of the conference in tech pro mode, we did have a little fun via Sandbox VR which we included the selfie clips from.

What do you think? Will we see you at VMware Explore 2024?

Returning to life post VMware Explore 2023, We sat down for a discussion on VMware Application Catalog.
