Join us on Wednesday, August 6th for an exclusive, complimentary dinner cruise aboard Northern Lights on Lake Champlain focused on redefining your storage and desktop virtualization environments with EMC XtremIO, VNX-F and VMware Horizon DaaS.

The market is transitioning to the all-flash datacenter. XtremIO heralds a new era in storage array design, architected from the ground-up for consistent and predictable random access performance – delivering new levels of application capabilities where storage is a true enabler.

VMware Horizon DaaS simplifies the delivery of Windows desktops and applications as a cloud service, to any device, anywhere, with predicable costs.

• How to plan a scale-out design architecture that grows based on your needs, additional performance and capacity – without administrator intervention, configuration or tuning
• How to drive performance under demanding conditions without inconsistencies or latency
• Flash-specific data protection to ensure your array is not only fast but resilient
• How to implement virtual desktops in a few clicks with the complexity of deploying and managing desktop virtualization infrastructure
