Advanced Enterprise Virtualization:
Building, Managing and Extending Production-Class Infrastructures
This unique online experience is now available on demand. Register here to access the three archived sessions.
Introducing the Data Center Decisions Virtual Seminar: Advanced Enterprise Virtualization.
Once you have virtualization in production, optimizing the infrastructure to make the most out of your investment is essential. 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.
During this online Virtual Seminar our virtualization 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 through one of the most exciting use-cases for virtualization: High Availability. Our experts answer your questions about the core challenges you face when deploying a virtualized environment. They touch upon topics such as how to choose virtualization candidates, migration strategies, disaster recovery considerations and more.
Benefit from these three key sessions:
- Session 1: Virtual Infrastructure Tuning and Advanced Management
- Session 2: Virtual Infrastructure Automation and High Availability Best Practices
- Session 3: Protecting Your Virtual Environment: Backup and Storage
We encourage you to register for this virtual seminar, and invite your peers responsible for storage, servers, the data center and networks to attend as well. This highly-interactive and educational event is the perfect venue to address a key initiative that affects so many groups within IT.
