IM Showcase 18: VMware takes King of the Show!

At the final Ingram Micro Showcase for 2018, aside from the fascinating keynote speakers, the number of exhibitors, and the range of displays was truly impressive.

However, at the end of the day only one company could take the King of the Show crown and this year, it went to VMware.

VMware hosted a series of mini-session throughout the day, giving attendees further depth of information about their offerings and the solutions they are working on with other vendors.
