The key challenge for IT departments is to make
best usage of the increasingly complex infrastructures that they
are running and to do this cost-effectively. One of the key tactics
to achieve these aims is virtualization.
Some industry experts are going as far as saying that
virtualization capabilities are already becoming commoditised and
have entered the mainstream. Yet there exists a variety in the
virtualization 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
virtualization in general and will:
- Identify the different types of virtualization techniques on
offer on differing platforms.
- Outline what infrastructure and resources are required to make
best use of virtualization.
- Reveal the business benefits that organisations can expect from
virtualization such as enhanced deployment/provisioning process,
energy efficiency, data security and business continuity.
- Show how firms can deliver rapid payback from virtualized
resources, including improvement in power/cooling budgets, reduced
software licensing fees and the reassurance of improved provisions
for business continuity.
- Show how virtualization also has a positive effect not only on
system performance but on other essential functions such as data
storage, backup and recovery.
- Show how an end user has reaped the rewards that virtualized
resources offer.
