I wanted to follow up and say thank you to everyone who came to the UK VUG in Manchester yesterday. We had some great sessions by Object First and  Dave from Medhurst IT, and an engaging session with myself and ​@MarkBoothman and everyone at the event.

We find the same things are on peoples minds, security and what are we doing in the post VMware Broadcom acquisition. The latter, to me at least, still does not have a clear path on which vendor is going to “win” market share for the core hypervisor to be used. Very much a what is the right tool for the job. For some it is a cost decision, others it is eco system support. There is no right or wrong answer. 

Anyways, a few pics from the day 😀

Seems there were a few Veeam related events on yesterday 😅. I know of two other international VUGs and Veeam were at the Garter Symposium in London as well!
