Architect's Edge LIVE: 9 Practitioner Truths You Didn't Know About VCF 9 💡

In this Architect’s Edge LIVE session, Christopher Kusek is joined by VMware by Broadcom experts to break down 9 practitioner truths that can change how you think about VMware Cloud Foundation 9.

This discussion goes beyond basic deployment and gets into the practical realities that matter most in the field: smarter hardware decisions, migration paths, storage flexibility, networking performance, lifecycle operations, and how to get more value out of your VCF investment.

Topics covered include:
• NVMe memory tiering and how it can reduce server and memory costs
• Expanded hardware support and why it is worth checking compatibility again
• NSX Enhanced Data Path and built-in performance advantages
• Live workload migration from vSphere 7 to VCF 9
• Secure Boot readiness and upcoming certificate considerations
• Broader storage protocol support in VCF 9
• VCF learning and education entitlements
• Multiple adoption paths including greenfield, brownfield, import, and converge
• Management domain sizing, scaling, and live patching benefits
