9:00 AM–4:30 PM Location: TBA Once an organization has completed the initial server virtualization/consolidation phase, it becomes clear that the right advanced management tools along with the right policies and processes are required to better monitor, manage, secure, troubleshoot and tune this new virtual infrastructure, to reap the full benefits of operational efficiency and IT agility. IT managers have to sift through the plethora of virtualization management solutions to identify which products are really ready for prime time, and how to match their particular needs with available solutions. In addition, many shops with traditional Enterprise Systems Management solutions are wondering how new management tools integrate with and utilize what they already have. Beyond operational management, successfully moving towards full virtualization requires optimization and automation of the virtual infrastructure -- creating a self-managing compute factory. Add self-service provisioning and a service catalog to the mix and you have a private cloud, which may extend to public/hybrid cloud computing. For more information click here.

Along with the promise of solving the decades old problems of desktop management and support, desktop virtualization is bringing with it a renewed look at thin client (now also zero client) computing. How do server hosted applications and desktops relate to thin client computing and thin/zero client devices? How have these technologies changed/improved to become strong solutions for today's desktop challenges. Where do other technologies like Windows 7, smartphones and iPads fit in? Learn if, why and and how all these technologies should fit into your desktop strategy. Moderator - Michael Dortch, Director of Research, Focus I have spent more than three decades translating what technical people say and do into language that non-technical businesspeople and consumers can understand and upon which they can act. Before joining Focus as Director of Research, I was most recently Principal Analyst and Managing Editor of DortchOnIT.com, 'an independent voice for technology-dependent people.' I've also been a senior analyst at Aberdeen Group, Robert Frances Group (RFG), and Yankee Group. I've helped established and emerging vendors to craft go-to-market messages and strategies aligned with users' goals and needs, and companies of all sizes and types to choose and deploy IT solutions more successfully. In 1990, I wrote "The ABCs of Local-Area Networks" (remember those?), a book published internationally in three languages by Sybex, Inc. A transplanted "Noo Yawker," I work in San Francisco, live about 50 miles north in beautiful Santa Rosa and can be reached directly at mdortch@focus.com. Panelist - Jeff McNaught, Chief Marketing and Strategy Officer, Wyse Jeff McNaught leads Wyse's marketing activities and customer support.

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.
| Monday, October 18 | |
|---|---|
9:00 AM–4:30 PM Location: TBA With the looming move to Windows 7, IT organizations are faced with how to manage the upgrade of every desktop and application in their company. Desktop and application virtualization hold the promise of solving this problem along with the many desktop management problems that have been plaguing IT for decades. But until recently, multiple barriers prevented widespread adoption of virtual desktop technologies, and in fact, many early desktop virtualization projects failed as a result. This workshop will discuss previous barriers, how they now have been eliminated and why 2010 is becoming the year for desktop virtualization. Learn about all the various options available today - from major virtualization vendors to emerging startups - and why one size does not fit all. Hear the latest about the available desktop and application virtualization technologies, how to assess user desktop requirements across your entire organization, and determine how to successfully select and implement the right technologies for your organization.

9:00 AM–4:30 PM Location: TBA Once an organization has completed the initial server virtualization/consolidation phase, it becomes clear that the right advanced management tools along with the right policies and processes are required to better monitor, manage, secure, troubleshoot and tune this new virtual infrastructure, to reap the full benefits of operational efficiency and IT agility. IT managers have to sift through the plethora of virtualization management solutions to identify which products are really ready for prime time, and how to match their particular needs with available solutions. In addition, many shops with traditional Enterprise Systems Management solutions are wondering how new management tools integrate with and utilize what they already have. Beyond operational management, successfully moving towards full virtualization requires optimization and automation of the virtual infrastructure -- creating a self-managing compute factory. Add self-service provisioning and a service catalog to the mix and you have a private cloud, which may extend to public/hybrid cloud computing. For more information click here.
