VMware and IDC Business Meeting16/04
St. Petersburg, Russia
Maintaining and supporting increasingly complicated IT infrastructure requires more and more funds and puts an extra burden on already taxed network administration resources. At the same time, in the changing business environment corporate IT infrastructure is expected to be both reliable and adaptive to changes. Creating a virtual IT infrastructure responsive to changes in business needs – building dynamic datacenters – becomes a viable strategy for today’s IT managers.
To implement the strategy, they need to answer several important questions. How to model dynamic IT correctly? How to maximize the use of existing server resources? How to control and optimize power consumption in datacenters? How to ensure that your datacenters are highly accessible and reliable, and that there is no down time?
At the meeting, VMware’s experts will show how virtualization allows saving time and money and making the most out of existing server resources. They will talk about new generation datacenters. Special attention will be paid to improvements in security, accessibility, fault-tolerance and resilience for ensuring business continuity. IDC’s analysts will share a methodology for creating dynamic IT and analyze certain development and exploitation issues pertaining to datacenters. Conference attendees will discuss latest trends in virtualization and its advantages, particularly those for centralizing IT management, securing and scaling infrastructure, and for controlling IT costs.
Key topics:
- Dynamic IT – Responding to Business Needs and Controlling Costs
- The Evolution of Virtualization as Seen by VMware
