Our EUC team is really firing on all cylinders and continues to update and integrate products. In this case AirWatch, Horizon and Identity Manager are brought together with Workspace One. Did you know we coined the term "Workspace" (well okay, a company we acquired years ago did). I used to be one of those guys that connected to my View desktop and worked from there. Now, more often than not I browse our internal Workspace One portal and launch whatever app I need to get work done. How did I work without this before?
Also worth noting are several SDDC product updates. The big news here is VSAN 6.2 - what an awesome release! VSAN was ready to host your tier 1 applications with the release of 6.0 - now with 6.2's dedupe, compression and RAID5/6 features, the nay-sayers won't be able say it's not ready for the enterprise (well, they can but they would be wrong).
Here is a "Did you know" PSA:
Did you know that if you use vSphere Replication to replicate VMs hosted on VSAN storage, you can set the RPO as low as 5 minutes?
Now you know.
Finally. take a look at the vCloud Suite pricing and packaging changes. We've really change the Suites to refocus on what customer's really want - the tools needed to run a true SDDC datacenter (wait, isn't that redundant?).
