Joe Honan discusses virtualization at the February 2009 1Velocity Breakfast Seminar on Business Continuity. Virtualization reduces hardware, power, and maintenance requirements, but that's just the tip of the iceberg. Learn how virtualization can also increase availability, speed deployment, and improve disaster recovery.

10. What are analysts saying?
“Consolidation, virtualization, and provisioning
are the three hottest trends in servers today. If
you haven’t consolidated yet… if you haven’t
virtualized your computing resources… and if you
haven’t learned how to provision your systems and
storage—you’re needlessly wasting your precious
operating budget!”
—Joe Clabby, Clabby Analytics

Virtualization between MS and VMWare
• Enables IT as a service • Virtualization saves $, but can
expose vulnerabilities
• Scales for most companies
(small to large enterprise) • Holistic management is the key to
administration
• Failures are now catastrophes,
w/out the right mgmt, plan, and • MSFT desktop to datacenter
architecture strategy is the smart bet
