The Virtualisation Revolution Has Begun

This is a technology that is radically changing the IT landscape and providing the key to a more flexible and responsive IT infrastructure. In an age of agility, virtualisation is proving to be a critical component in achieving a Real Time Infrastructure.

But where is it heading? And how can this dynamic technology be used for strategic advantage?

In this special CIO breakfast briefing, speakers go beyond the immediate benefits associated with virtualisation.

This event doesn’t just look at server consolidation, savings on hardware and the quick provisioning of resources, but examines ways in which virtualisation can contribute to an innovative and strategic three- to five-year plan.

Moving forward, enterprises seeking to gain continued benefit from virtualisation will need to focus on the management layer as the technology becomes just another commodity item.

It is the ability to apply this technology across the enterprise from servers and storage to Unix client systems and applications. A panel of experts will share their first hand experiences and help sharpen your virtualisation vision
