Focus
Beyond Consolidation: Virtualization for IT & Business Agility

Challenge

Virtualization has been a factor in several contexts throughout the history of computing. And now the current incarnation of server virtualization is changing the IT landscape—especially in the data center.

At its simplest, virtualization is used for server consolidation and to maximize the utilization of IT resources. But virtualization goes much further than that. By virtualizing servers, storage, networking and security, IT leaders are transforming IT and introducing flexibility, portability and operational efficiency. This track shows you how to join them.

Going beyond consolidation, this track examines the broader set of solutions virtualization offers: Disaster recovery and continuity. Data center migrations. Image standardization.
