Join us for a special 2-hour Architect’s Edge Live AMA (Ask Me Anything) + Expert Panel, built to turn uncertainty into clarity.

Have you heard these statements about VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) adoption before?

• “VCF is too complex.”
• “We can’t move forward without vSAN.”
• “NSX is going to slow us down.”
• “Security in VCF is too rigid for our needs.”
• “Upgrades are disruptive.”

These aren’t always true — but they’re the perceptions, myths, and partial truths that stall real projects. In this extended session, we’re taking them all head-on.
