I’ve already said Cisco will be the company responsible for putting VDI on the map this year, which could explain why I’ve been asked to fill the role of “industry expert” in the first of Cisco’s 2012 desktop virtualization webcasts. Far more important than me though there’s the opportunity to listen to Cisco Distinguished Systems Engineer Jim French and our Host and Director of Engineering, Jeff Platon; both of whom know far more about VXI than I’m ever likely to.
Details of the first three webcasts in the series and a registration link are below.
