2:15 PM – 3:15 PM Virtualization for Business Continuity as a Competitive Advantage Location: Lagoon H Virtualization increases vulnerability and risks from server outages by consolidating many workloads on individual servers. At the same time it offers unparalleled opportunities to deliver business continuity through next generation data protection technologies. Business continuity is becoming increasingly important to compete effectively, while basic backup is still widely regarded as the bane of IT’s existence, and fully tested recovery plans are a rarity outside of a few critical systems. When the need to restore inevitably arises, relying on traditional methods results in business delays and a heavy drain on technical resources. Learn from real-world experiences how the use of virtualization and next generation technologies and techniques can deliver business continuity at affordable cost, including backup and recovery systems that move business continuity from overhead to competitive benefit.

Desktop Virtualization Heard the buzz about desktop virtualization and wondering if it's hype or whether it might really help your organization? Are you migrating to Windows 7 and wishing it were easier to deal with software upgrades? Have your users started bringing in new devices – from iPads to smartphones – asking you to how to connect/integrate with corporate desktops and applications? Would you like to extend the lifespan of some physical desktops, while maybe re-evaluating zero/thin clients for others? Are you tired of endless desktop and application support calls and issues with updates or patches? Have you had laptops lost or stolen and want better ways to secure corporate information on endpoint systems? The Desktop Virtualization track will give you information on the wide variety of desktop and application virtualization technologies, architectures, and solutions, and will offer guidance from real-world experiences and best practices for selection, implementation and ongoing management in delivering the new "desktop" to the growing sea of new devices.

Virtualization Days

As virtualization becomes mainstream, its hot issues have evolved into more advanced topics. With organizations moving beyond basic server consolidation and looking to virtualize the remaining 80% of their servers and mission critical applications, virtualization management becomes a critical success factor. And with success on the server side and desktop upgrade plans for Windows 7, desktop virtualization is now on the roadmap for many organizations.

Attend Virtualization Days before the Conference for the opportunity to go in-depth on these two hot topics, offering a vendor-neutral look at the trends, benefits, key considerations, technology approaches, vendors and solutions in each of these areas. Learn how to dramatically increase operational efficiency and IT agility while cutting costs.

8:30 AM – 4:30 PM Virtualization Management: The Road to Private Cloud Location: Mandalay Bay D Once an organization has completed the initial phase of server virtualization and consolidation, the next step is to optimize the virtual infrastructure to enable expansion from the typical initial 25% virtualized to a more complete fully virtualized infrastructure. Along with this expansion, the critical path to realizing the full potential of virtualization is to add the management layers to transform IT operations and deliver IT as a service. By properly managing, securing, protecting, optimizing and automating the virtual infrastructure, IT can transform itself to run as a private cloud. For more information click here.

8:30 AM – 4:30 PM Desktop Virtualization: The New “Desktop” - Delivering Virtual Desktops and Applications Anywhere Location: Mandalay Bay D The definition of a “desktop” is changing in many ways. Virtualization technologies have expanded and improved, offering better ways to deliver desktops and applications, ranging from VDI to session virtualization to streamed desktops to client hypervisors to Desktop as a Service. New devices continue to emerge and proliferate (including tablets, smartphones, thin clients and zero clients), and Bring Your Own Computer (BYOC) initiatives are gaining ground. As IT organizations consider the best strategy for delivering and supporting desktops and applications for the next decade, and address tactical issues like migration to Windows 7, IT has the opportunity to change the paradigm for delivering endpoint access to users and devices anywhere. Desktop and application virtualization offer new ways to incorporate the new types of users and devices, and many of the past barriers to virtual desktops have been overcome.
