Interop NY11 Conference: Virtualization Conference Track

It is now a given that virtualization has become a foundational element for the data center. Server virtualization has been implemented in almost every data center for consolidation and the real dollar savings it brings. Building on that success, organizations are now progressing to new levels in areas such as automated disaster recovery/business continuity, desktop and application virtualization, and private cloud computing. Whether you’re just getting started, advancing to the next level or need a comprehensive update on the latest products, Interop New York’s Virtualization mini-tracks can help. Get up to speed on virtualization top to bottom - from server consolidation and DR, to virtual desktop and application delivery to building on your virtual infrastructure to deliver a private cloud.

Virtualization Concepts and Practices

Virtualization has created a fundamental shift in how we think about our data center environments. Do you want help understanding all the new terminology and differences across vendors? Are you up to speed on all the latest server and desktop virtualization technologies and new vendor offerings and releases? Have you assessed/optimized your infrastructure to meet the new and increasing demands of the new virtual world? Is your new virtual infrastructure as secure as it should be? The Virtualization Concepts and Practices Track Sessions offer answers to these questions—and many more—enabling you to embrace and fully implement virtualization, with confidence and efficiency.

Desktop Virtualization

Heard the buzz about desktop virtualization and the future of the “desktop”? Are you wondering where the hype is and what the realities are? Are you migrating to Windows 7 and looking for tools to help smooth the process? Are your users bringing in new devices – from iPads to smartphones – asking you to how to connect/integrate with corporate desktops and applications? Are you working on or planning a VDI proof of concept and looking for ways to ensure that you will succeed? The Desktop Virtualization track sessions 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 to Private Cloud

Now that you’ve successfully implemented server virtualization, is your company taking full advantage of its advanced benefits — automation and orchestration, dynamic workload management, rapid (and self-service) provisioning, consumption-based pricing, and policy-based management? Are you leveraging the latest virtualization tools and techniques to address VM stall and VM sprawl to enable the shift to private cloud? Have you evaluated the latest in capacity management and performance management tools to get the most out of your infrastructure and ensure quality of service? The road from virtualization to private cloud requires a well-managed virtual infrastructure - addressing issues such as life cycle management, performance and capacity monitoring/and management, optimized storage and networking, usage-based accounting/chargeback and more. The Virtualization to Private Cloud track sessions offer advanced virtualization professionals information and insights into effectively managing, automating and optimizing the new virtual infrastructure and successfully transforming it into a private cloud.
Friday, October 7

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.
