ITQ sessions on this event

This ITQ'ers will give a session during the VMUGNL UserCon 2025

Delivering real-world business value with our turn-key AI solutions

AI is like high school s*x. Everyone is talking about it, but no one is doing it. Well, we are doing it. And doing it very different. Last year, we introduced the world to Project Einstein, our own virtual ITQer. With the support of our partners VMware, NVIDIA, and Dell, this R&D project showed the true potential of (conversational) AI in our own AI Lab. With the birth of Einstein, we also launched our AI practice and a first series of Private AI-focussed services. This year, we will share one of our success stories with you, together with our AI partner GLBNXT. This is a session you don’t want to miss! *DUTCH SESSION

The Need for Physical

In a tech world increasingly dominated by the cloud, endpoints are more critical than ever. This session explores why they matter and how to make them faster, smarter, and more efficient (including some epic demos) Technologies we will cover: deployment with Omnissa Workspace ONE UEM, Omnissa App Volumes on physical devices and validating everything with Login Enterprise for Physical Endpoints! (We are pretty sure you have never seen this in a session before!) And for the grand finale: “Dominate the Race, Rule the streets “. Who will claim the title of Physical Endpoint Champion? Start your engines — this is the Need for Physical! *DUTCH SESSION

Automatiseer en visualiseer je vSAN policies

In large enterprise organizations, hundreds or even thousands of VMs are running. Manually assigning the correct vSAN policies to all these VMs is impractical and time-consuming. Requesting VMs has been simplified through the self-service portal, but how do you simplify assigning the optimal vSAN policy? During this session, I will explain how to tackle this challenge using automation and visualization. *DUTCH SESSION

Jesper Alberts

Technologist Digital Workspace

It was during my first internship when I first laid my eyes on VMware ESX, and I’ve been hooked ever since. I’ve always had a huge passion for technology, but my spark was really lit during that internship. In the following years, I’ve had the opportunity to work with all kinds of products and vendors while exploring all aspects of an IT infrastructure. My passion for virtualization always stood out, and it didn’t take me long to decide this would be my area of focus. What appealed to me the most were the possibilities that virtualization offered. You could do things you didn’t think were possible with unseen speed and efficiency.

I've been working in IT for over 20 years now. The last couple of years my main focus has been End User Computing and loving it! I will always try to find the best solution possible, keep an open and no nonsense mindset and getting things done. The biggest lesson I learned? In the end it is not about technology, it's all about the end user experience. Let's use technology to create the best user experience possible!

Robert Cranendonk

IT Consultant

I have been obsessed with everything to do with computers for as long as I can remember. From writing my own software, to building my on PC, it's who I am! Nowadays I build everything in the virtual space: networks, infrastructures, and the scripts necessary to tie it all together. In addition, I'm learning all about Cyber Security to hopefully make our digital world a safer place.

Richard van Dantzig

IT Consultant

I work in IT since 2004 and during my first year I got the opportunity to do a project with VMware ESX 2.1 for a logistics company and it was love at first sight. The years following I gained knowledge and experience with the enterprise virtualization products of Vmware. As a primary storage engineer the crossover to a all-round virtualization consultant happened with the adoption of IP storage protocols. With the transition of IT due to virtualization to a Software Defined Datacenter my role changed and became broader. With virtualization we can finally connect edge to cloud without borders for business processes and enable people to do better and more in less time. The possibilities are unlimited for organizations and I like to help them to find their solution. 'It’s all about the business, let’s find the right solution!'

Kabir Ali

IT Consultant

Ever since my first radio controlled car I have been interested in technology. The urge to understand how things work is my motivator to keep on learning and improving myself. It’s this motivation that introduced me to VMware in 2010. And ever since my excitement about VMware has grown and grown. I love to get my hands on new VMware tech and try it out. As I firmly believe that “trying is the first step towards success”.
