I have often got asked by my readers where they can learn more about a new product release I have mentioned or where they can ask questions directly to the vendor. On the other hand, many Virtualizaton & Cloud Computing related vendors ask me on weekly basis if I can share the information of different informative webinars they are delivering about their upcoming releases. I thought it will be a great idea just to broker this and the idea of this page just came up. This page will allow the different Virtualization, Cloud Computing, & Software Defined Networking vendor to share info about their upcoming seminars.
VMware Hands On Labs: While not exactly a webinar this is one of the best ways to try to learn more about VMware new products and latest releases. It allows you to try the same labs VMworld attendees get to see at VMworld. When this first came out I could not believe even VMware is offering it for free, so make sure to try it out and use it while it last at: http://labs.hol.vmware.com
Learn vSphere from Scratch Video Training: While not actually a webinar, If you are new to Virtualization then this free video training I have recorded will be worth trying out. You can check it out at: https://www.virtualizationteam.com/training
