  2. VMUG Overview

  3. History The independent global VMUG organization was officially launched in August of 2010. Prior to that point, VMUG chapters had operated locally with the support of VMware. These local groups grew rapidly – membership increased 234% in 2008-2009 alone.  Because of this unparalleled growth, a decision was made to bring all of these chapters together under one global VMUG umbrella operating independently of VMware. 

  4. History (Cont.) The organization benefits the membership and VMware by: • Ensuring a consistent and high quality experience for all VMUG members • Providing a more effective interface between VMware and our customer base • Creating a cohesive network of VMware customers and partners with a collective voice capable of impacting VMware products and services • Establishing a support system and business model that allows the local VMUG leaders and VMware to move beyond tactical support into more strategic initiatives

  5. VMUG Board The VMUG Board of Directors is responsible for setting the strategy of the VMUG organization and working closely with VMware to identify areas for growth and opportunity. The Board consists of ten VMUG end user members and two VMware representatives.  Collectively they bring a diversity of experiences, geographic representation, and company affiliation that gives VMUG a very broad view of the technology and its applications.

  6. Membership Benefits As a VMUG member you can expect to: • Learn best practices and optimal use of VMware products • Get answers, advice, tips and suggestions from experts • Discover new ideas and gain insight about Virtual Infrastructure • Receive timely information about new VMware products • Network with other technical professionals across the globe • Enjoy access to events, networking and educational opportunities with this free membership.
