Virtualization from Desktop to Datacenter

Sun Microsystems' Steve Wilson to Present at SYS-CON's Virtualization Conference & Expo

Virtualization comes in many forms, and by combining multiple technologies, enterprises can transform the way they deploy and manage their software. This session will examine how an enterprise can combine the use of layer-2 "desktop" hypervisor technology, layer-1 dedicated server virtualization software and next-generation management software to rapidly speed the rate at which they can develop and deploy new software within their enterprise. With software developers able to easily create and encapsulate software within virtual machine containers, and then speed this through staging and deployment, enterprises benefit from radical cost reduction and increased time to market. It will also radically simplify complex IT tasks, such as: patching and compliance reporting. This session will include case studies and live technology demonstrations.
