Real-world virtualisation
Speaker: Matt Yotko, Director of Technology Infrastructure, IAC
Description: Faster service delivery, higher asset productivity, aff ordable data protection, increased flexibility, and dramatically lower cost at the same time? Learn how director of technology Matt Yotko from Barry Diller's IAC has made this happen by implementing a utility computing architecture based on a highly virtualised server and storage implementation for mission-critical database, messaging, and other applications. See how virtualised storage can lead the way to high and consistent service levels and maximum cost-effective consolidation and disaster recovery protection of virtualised servers.

The benefits of networked storage with virtual servers (VMware)
Speaker: Mark Peters, Analyst, Enterprise Strategy Group
Description: A recent ESG research study of more than 500 respondents showed that 57% are using virtual server technology in production environments. Server virtualisation users are deploying virtual machines across a variety of storage systems. There are inherent benefits, inclusive of increased availability, efficient data protection and improved utilisation if virtualised servers are deployed with networked storage.
