Building, Managing and Extending Production-Class Infrastructures
This unique online experience is now available on demand. Register here to access the five archived sessions.
In these tough economic conditions, every company is looking to make the most of their investments. Once you've got virtualization in production, it is essential to optimize your infrastructure to increase the efficiency of your operations. Too often IT shops take an ad hoc approach to this process, which results in costly trial and error - don't let your organization make the same mistake.
In these on demand presentations, our experts walk through the processes for selecting hardware, platforms and virtual infrastructure technologies to make your virtual environment run at its full potential. Plus, they go over one of the most exciting use-cases for virtualization: High Availability. Four virtualization gurus answer the toughest questions about the core challenges your peers face when deploying a virtualized environment, such as how to choose virtualization candidates, backup and migration strategies, disaster recovery considerations, and more.
