FOCUS
Hear more from Barb Goldworm about key Virtualization topics at Interop
Upgrade to a Flex Pass for access to our in-depth virtualization & private cloud workshops:
Virtualization has created a fundamental shift in how we think about the data center environment, and is now a foundational element. Server virtualization has been implemented in almost every organization, driven by consolidation and the real dollar savings it brings. Building on that success, organizations are now progressing to new levels in areas such as desktop/application virtualization and building private clouds. Whether you’re just getting started, advancing to the next level or need a comprehensive update on the latest products and releases, Interop's Virtualization track can help. Get up to speed on virtualization top to bottom - from server consolidation to virtual desktop and application delivery to building on your virtual infrastructure to deliver a private cloud.
Virtualization Concepts and Practices - Need help understanding all the new virtualization terminology? Are you up to speed on the latest server and desktop virtualization technologies and new vendor offerings and releases? Have you optimized and secured your infrastructure to meet the demands of the new virtual world? Are you leveraging your infrastructure to build a private cloud? Learn the concepts and practices which answer these questions and more.
Desktop and Application Virtualization - Separate the hype from the realities of desktop virtualization. Hear about the future of the “desktop” from key industry leaders. Learn ways to support all the new devices –iPads, tablets, smartphones, etc., and help smooth your Windows 7 migration. Learn tips to ensure success in your VDI proof of concept or large-scale implementation. Learn about all the desktop and application virtualization technologies, architectures, and solutions, and hear real-world experiences and best practices for selection, implementation and ongoing management of client computing.
Virtualization to Private Cloud – Ready to move beyond consolidation to the benefits of private cloud? Analyze where and how to take advantage of advanced virtualization and cloud capabilities — automation and orchestration, dynamic workload management, rapid (and self-service) provisioning, consumption-based pricing, policy-based management, self-service catalogs, and more. Leverage the latest virtualization and cloud management tools and techniques to address VM stall and VM sprawl. Gain information and insights into securing, managing, automating and optimizing your virtual infrastructure and successfully transforming it into a private cloud.

2:30 PM – 3:30 PM Location: Lagoon H Implementing server and/or desktop virtualization (e.g. VDI) has serious implications for the storage infrastructure. The requirements for storage are affected and the storage solutions need to be evaluated based on a different set of considerations. Important to consider are the bottlenecks created and how they can limit the number of virtual machines per physical server and the number of virtual desktops. This discussion will explain the implications of virtualized environments on storage and what attributes of a storage system are important to meet the virtualized environment requirements. Performance details of a VDI environment also will be explained to aid in understanding of storage recommendations.

Storage federation is the ability to simply, dynamically, and non-disruptively move data and workloads between storage systems. This emerging technology helps address the unpredictability that is a constant in today’s virtual and cloud data centers. Storage federation focuses on three major challenges: asset management, workload balancing and capacity optimization across the data center, rather than at the level of the individual storage array. Storage federation addresses these challenges - without adding in layers that complicate the design and future operations of its solutions—making it the ideal complement for virtual and cloud data centers.
