The available VCDX defense dates (and locations) for 2014 are been recently announced on a thread in the VMware Community. Some were already well know (during the PEX event).

The interesting aspect is that there are more locations (basically one per main Region) and that (actually) seems that there is no plan to bring the defence during the VMworld (not a new idea, but this time make sense, considering the better proposal of dates and places).

Actually is not clear which kind of VCDX defense will be avaible, but of course there will be VCDX5-DCV and VCDX5-Cloud. Confirmed also that the VCDX5-Desktop will be avaible in the second half of 2014, not clear (but probably the answer is no) if also VCDX4 will still possible.

VCDX-DCV VCDX-Cloud
