Sun Virtualisation Event

Organisations large and small are implementing virtualisation in their datacentres and desktop environments as a way of consolidating existing resources, saving cost and solving pressing issues such as space/power/ cooling constraints. In the headlong rush for datacentre nirvana, many companies are realising that virtualisation has many more implications and potential pitfalls as well as benefits for their businesses than they first thought.

Traditional virtualisation solutions reduce the management workload of physical systems, but replace it with the need to manage the same number of virtual systems. Sun xVM is a hypervisor-based virtualisation engine with a dedicated, fully-integrated and custom-designed virtual systems management toolset.

Types of virtualisation

When it comes to virtualisation, one size doesn’t fit all. We’ll position for you the different kinds of virtualisation and their respective advantages. So whether you are prioritising security or flexibility, you can select the right software for your business. Virtualisation solutions shouldn't lock you into one operating system – Sun's virtualisation solutions encompass VMware, Microsoft, and Linux environments as well as Solaris.

How to maximise your benefits and reduce risk

The biggest benefits of virtualisation come when it’s extended across your entire infrastructure: but you may be worried about the disruption of such a big project. Join us, to discuss how you can take advantage of Sun’s methodologies and programs to develop, test, deploy and manage your virtualisation projects more effectively, to minimise risk and maximise ROI.
