Virtualization technology can deliver better IT asset utilization, more agile IT asset allocation, more efficient use of resources, while supporting a potentially more secure IT infrastructure. Virtualization accomplishes these benefits by leveraging mechanisms which provide a) asset isolation, b) resource sharing and c) provisioning dynamics. These same capabilities can represent significant security challenges. This session will address how to use configuration and behavioral information to address the increased complexity of security and compliance in virtualized environments. Comprehensive security posture awareness of more dynamic, more interdependent, and more insulated assets, will allow enterprises to take fuller advantage of the promised benefits of virtualization.
Most data centers have hundreds of servers running 24/7 generating massive electricity demands, high overhead of hardware, large amounts of service contracts all to use an average of 10-20% of their systems potential. Have a positive impact on both the environment and your companies ROIC by going Green, I mean virtual! :)
The mainstream adoption of server virtualization is well underway, and leading organizations are making plans now for the next stage of their journey toward a more flexible and optimized IT environment. This next phase will be focused on leveraging virtualization to achieve far-reaching improvements in service levels, and doing it for the largest and most mission-critical applications. This session will explain strategies and best practices for virtual infrastructure solutions such as data protection, HA/DR, storage management, and application delivery for virtual desktops and other endpoints.
