Virtualization Conference & Expo 2007 West
Reaching Beyond Physical IT: Explore the Power of Virtualization in Enterprise Computing
A fundamental technological innovation that allows skilled IT managers to deploy creative solutions to such business challenges, Virtualization is a methodology whose time has come. It enables IT and business managers to rise to the challenge of using their enterprise computing infrastructure as cost-effectively as possible while remaining responsive in supporting new business initiatives and flexible in adapting to organizational changes.
Virtualization of distributed computing, of IT resources such as storage, bandwidth, and CPU cycles are all increasingly significantly in importance within enterprise IT; vrtualization can also apply to a range of system layers, including hardware-level virtualization, operating system level virtualization, and high-level language virtual machines. IDC has stated that the virtualization services market alone is going to reach $11.7 billion by 2011.
In short, Virtualization is fast becoming a key requirement for every server in the data center, enabling increased workloads in server consolidation projects, efficient software development and testing, resource management for dynamic data centers, application re-hosting and compatibility, and high-availability partitions.
SOA World Conference & Expo's Virtualization Forum is the leading event covering the booming market of Virtualization for the enterprise. Topics include:
Hosted Virtualization
Para-virtualization
Virtualization Hardware Support
Hardware-level Virtualization
Storage Virtualization
Virtualization for Server Consolidation and Containment
Desktop Virtualization
Windows Virtualization
Utility Computing
and more...
