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.
