"Multiplatform Virtualization Architectures" Register Here
Virtualization is generating genuine excitement across the IT industry. Virtualization technology has proven its ability to deliver several fundamental business benefits, including consolidation and improved resource utilization; reduced hardware footprint and its associated power and cooling requirements; better agility from simplified resource provisioning; simplified high availability and disaster recovery; improved test and development processes; and legacy application support.
Indeed, virtualization is increasingly becoming a standard part of IT infrastructures, both in hardware and software, and over the long term, its use could redefine how datacenters are configured and maintained. While much of the attention in the industry has been on Intel x86 virtualization, virtualization technology is available for a variety of platforms, including UNIX systems and mainframes. Further, virtualization technology is more mature and has more advanced functionality on these other platforms.
Please join us as Tony Iams, Vice President and Senior Analyst at the analyst firm Ideas International reviews some of the basic trends driving the adoption of virtualization, and it will compare the current capabilities of server virtualization technology on Intel X86 and other platforms.
