Wow!  Its that time again already! (Although I am late publishing this)!! The VMworld 2015 content catalog has been released.  Its going to be a busy one again for me this year for sure!

VMworld is a great time to learn some really cool stuff, and I always check the schedule to see what sessions I find interesting, not just on cloud, but on virtualization in general.

STO6089 Automation for vCloud Air Disaster Recovery The VMware vision for disaster recovery is to utilize the Software-Defined Data Center architecture and a software-as-a-service (SaaS) approach for managing, testing, and orchestrating recovery of applications on premises and in the cloud. A “recovery-as-a-service” offering shares many of the same benefits as other SaaS solutions. For example, initial costs are typically lower as organizations do not have to maintain another site for recovery and a failover can be initiated from almost any location with an Internet connection. This session includes details and demonstrations of VMware’s next generation disaster recovery SaaS solution for migrating and recovering workloads between on-premises data centers and VMware vCloud Air.
