Thought I’d pass this on… I just had an internal email through notifying of the EMC Live Webcasts for all things EMC & VMware (with a little Vblock thrown in for good measure) for June 2011.  There are usually some really interesting sessions for EMC and non-EMC customers alike who are looking at or have already started virtualizing, particularly with VMware.  A personal favourite of mine is Chad’s Choice which this month falls on the 30th – always informative with plenty of techy info.

If this sounds like it could be of interest check out the full schedule here.
