Today ended the first event VMware organized for Northern Europe: Nordic Symposium 2006.
Among around 450 attendees, I received some feedbacks reporting the event as just a showcase of VMware successful stories and partners solutions, without any real news.
Apart lack of news (it’s always possible to have nothing new to annouce) VMware missed to touch sensitive arguments like evolving licensing issues, capacity planning, best practices, etc., nordic customers were eagerly waiting for.
It’s true I received just few bad feedbacks and it’s true this is a first event but, assuming this is what happened, there is a risk the Technical Solutions Exchange (TSX) 2006, now opened to all partners and customers, could have same problems.
