Description
There is no doubt that one of the key topics in the IT industry
right now is virtualisation.
In short, virtualisation is a technique that enables
organisations to pool their essential IT resources into one
flexible and manageable entity. This gives organisations the
opportunity to consolidate IT assets and remove the overall
complexity in their IT estate.
It means that in order to do their jobs, organisations can
purchase fewer more powerful servers while increasing their
capacity by improving resource utilisation and making them easier
to administer. Such a move is beneficial not only in terms of
reducing upfront capital expenditure, but also in cutting the cost
of administering such systems.
Some industry experts are going as far as saying that
virtualisation capabilities are already becoming commoditised and
have entered the mainstream. Yet there exists a variety in the
virtualisation techniques that are in use, each with different
characteristics that affect the way in which companies use IT and
ultimately the results they gain from them.
This webinar will endeavour to investigate virtualisation in
general and will
- offer a general definition of virtualisation
- identify the different types of virtualisation techniques and
explain their differences
- assess the ramifications of deployment of such different types
of virtualisation techniques and what this means for organisations
and how technology developments are helping make virtualised
environments easier to deploy/manage.
- challenge the concept of whether indeed virtualisation can be
seen to be accepted as mainstream and commoditised
- reveal the business benefits that organisations can expect from
virtualisation in general
Format:
Five minute introduction followed by three 10-minute presentations
