VMware Explore Session Recommendations

Now I come to my session recommendations which are based on my experience and some very good known speakers from the last years and about topics which I am interested from Network and Security point of view. But first I have to say that every VMware Explore session is worth to join and customers, partners and VMware employees have taken much efforts to prepare some very good content. For me the VMware Explore sessions are the most important source to get technical updates, innovation and training. All sessions can be also watched after VMware Explore. Some hints to the session ID`s, the letter in bracket like NSLT1545LV stands for N = Network, S = Security, L = Load Balancing and T = Track. LV indicated that it is a session in Las Vegas.
