These EMC IT webcasts are fantastic, and customer feedback has been very positive. They break down the good/bad/ugly of our journey to the private cloud.
This week’s session (Thursday, 8am PT/11am ET) is on EMC’s own deployment of View 4.
I’m using it right now, and love it! Of course, there’s still a long way to go (check-in/check-out is big for me). I use it all the time to access my lab on the corp network – fire up the View client and I am in the core network (extra secured via RSA, which integrates with View Manager).
We’re still in the pilot stages with our View 4/Windows 7 activities (hundreds of clients), but so are a lot of customers. Join in for a perspective (and the upside of the EMC IT folks presenting themselves is it’s not a salesperson :-) on a 40K employee company’s deployment of client virtualization.

BTW – this is part of a large series. EMC IT is a massive consumer of the technologies we develop, and is rapidly approaching the 100% virtualized mark for our x86 workloads.
They are bravely (warts and all) are describing that journey to the private Cloud that Joe and Paul (and I) believe in. They are describing it across all use cases publicly. You can follow that here:

I’ve asked them to keep it a “marketing free zone” – please check it out and let me know what you think!

any chance of this webcast being available for download after it airs?
