If you have missed out on cloud computing, then one application of this may be coming to a city near you. Perhaps without realizing it, you may be using a cloud computing application such as Google Docs. Many may also be using a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system such as that provided by SalesForce.com which is also on the cloud.

Now you can see some further cloud computing applications when VMware Takes Virtualization on the Road With VMware Express.

VMware, Inc., the global leader in virtualization solutions from the desktop through the datacenter and to the cloud, today announced that VMware Express will hit the road this week. VMware Express is a state-of-the-art mobile datacenter, demo lab and briefing center designed to bring desktop virtualization and cloud computing solutions from VMware directly to customers and partners across the United States and Canada. VMware Express Virtualization Tour 2010 will stop in 150 cities and is sponsored by AMD, Cisco, Dell, EMC, MDS Micro, NetApp and Xsigo.

VMware desktop and server virtualization solutions decouple business-critical applications from the underlying hardware and provide unprecedented flexibility and reliability. VMware backup systems are available to ensure complete security and robustness.

The Vsphere brings you your own private cloud with datacenter virtualization. Through this, you can optimize IT service delivery and deliver the highest levels of application service agreements with the lowest total cost per application. You can get up to speed on this by following some of the Vmware vsphere training videos that are available.

To give you a full grounding in all these applications, Vmware training courses can expand your horizons on what is possible. As you might say, the sky’s the limit.
