PRODUCT FOCUS 2/3/14 – 2/14/14

INTRODUCTION Our Product Focus for the next two weeks is VMware. VMware is the current industry leader in server / data center virtualization. VMware’s solutions can be found in 99% of all Fortune 500 companies and they currently hold between 74 – 82% market share with small and medium sized businesses. VMware’s solutions extend from the datacenter with their industry leading vSphere product to the desktop with Horizon View. VMware also offers vCenter for centralized management of your virtual infrastructure. Finally, VMware’s vCloud Suite allows an organization to move their virtualized solutions to a private cloud to increase efficiency, security, and availability.

Social Media  The goal of our social interaction is to strengthen our brand in the minds of our customers  Our social media posts are meant to be informative for our customers and not typically sales driven, though a small percentage will direct back to our websites to display standard course offerings  Typical social posts will link to blog articles, informational white papers, or free- to-attend events such as our weekly webinar series  Look for a new post each day for the next two weeks to push our VMware focus. PRODUCT FOCUS NOTES

Target Audience  IT Professionals involved in any aspect of the planning, designing, and deploying of a virtualization and/or cloud solution  IT Professionals with a systems administration background in Windows or Linux who are migrating to a virtualized environment  Professionals whose job titles may include:  IT Infrastructure Architect  System Administrator  Datacenter Administrator  System Engineer  Datacenter Operator  Decision makers whose job titles may include:  CIO, CTO, CSO, CISO, VP, Director of IT, VP of IT, IT Manager PRODUCT FOCUS NOTES

 Apart from providing daily social updates, numerous blog articles to link to, and an external to send to clients, we have also provided you with a variety of supporting documents to use throughout the two week product focus and beyond.  The supporting documents for our VMware Product Focus include such things as sell sheets with class dates and pricing, official class and data sheets from VMware, a technical white paper from VMware describing why companies benefit from virtualization, business pain points, a certification summary sheet, and virtualization infographics highlighting benefits and costs savings.  The documents are detailed within this presentation. SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS

Internal Training  To coincide with each product focus the Marketing Team also schedules internal training and a public webinar. It is our intention to provide an internal training session the Friday prior to the kick off of each bi-weekly product focus. We will attempt to reschedule the internal training session if it is set to occur during the last week of the month so as not to interrupt sales. Public Webinars  Our Next Level Webinar Series occurs each Thursday. It is our intention that the webinar taking place on the 2 nd Thursday of each Product Focus will support the current topic / product. This provides you with an opportunity to reach out to customers interested in the product and inform them of the free event.  VMware Software Defined Datacenter in 2014  Thursday Feb 13, 11:00 – 12:00 EST Link: SUPPORTING EVENTS
