VMware - Virtualizing the Heart of Your Business Paul Nothard, Solutions ArchitectOver the last ten years, virtualization has redefined the economics of the datacenter. Although it is recognised as a technology which no longer needs justification, some believe that different rules apply when virtualising the critical business applications at the heart of their datacentre. During this EMC Forum Super Session, VMware will discuss how it has addressed the barriers that once existed by both enhancing its technologies and developing solutions with partners such as EMC. It will show how together we can assist even the most conservative customers to take advantage of the improvements offered by the software driven data centre. |
