5th International Virtualization
Conference & Expo
- Virtualization is becoming an increasingly important concept, not only to IT staffs, but to CIOs and line-of-business managers as well.
- Virtualization technologies are shifting from point products to solution portfolios, delivering applications to the desktop, moving beyond server consolidation to enable more dynamic datacenters and serving as the foundation for some forms of cloud computing.
- Virtualization is quickly becoming an important technology across all parts of the IT environment. The technology is rapidly being deployed in server, storage, networking, as well as client environments
The theme of the 5th International Virtualization Conference & Expo, to be held in London, England, January 26-27, 2009, is 'Deploying Virtualization in the Enterprise.' The Call for Papers, which is now open, welcomes submissions from exceptional speakers with high-quality use cases not only of how virtualization maximizes the use of resources and thus saves companies money, but also of how it is fundamentally altering the way that businesses run IT.
Topics covered will include
- Server Virtualization
- Desktop Virtualization
- Application Virtualization
- File Virtualization
- The Future of the Virtual Enterprise
- Hosted Virtualization
- Para-virtualization
- Virtualization Hardware Support
- Virtual Security
