A year ago we launched our "Another VMware Cloud" blog series to highlight the great stories from our customers, both large and small, that have successfully moved to the cloud with VMware. As VMware continues to make private, public and hybrid cloud a reality for organizations looking to take advantage of enterprise-ready cloud solutions, we'll continue to feature their stories right here on the vCloud blog.
In case you're just joining us for the first time, here are highlights from the Another VMware Cloud customers we've featured in the last year:
