Tags:
infrastructure management

Overview Analysts predict that almost half of all servers in very large businesses will be virtualized by 2010. But mid-sized business have been slower to embrace virtualization, in spite of processor utilization at under 15 percent and fractional utilization of memory and disk resources. But changes in hardware and software offerings are making virtualization easier and cheaper to implement. This webcast explores the changes in the virtualization market that are making virtualization in the x86 more relevant to the data center in mid-sized company infrastructures. The presenter reviews a number of topics, including hardware-integrated hypervisors, easier consolidation planning, energy-saving benefits, and lower priced solutions.
