Event: Virtualization Congress Announced

March 4, 2008 by Robin Wauters 1 Comment

Virtualization.info just announced what promises to be one of the most interesting virtualization events of the year: Virtualization Congress bills itself as the world’s first vendor independent virtualization event and will be held from 14 to 16 October at the ExCel centre in London.

From the about page:

It is not a secret that virtualization technologies are changing companies’ data centers. The immense popularity that these technologies are obtaining is equal only to the need for knowledge about them. And as we try to build that knowledge, virtualization is already changing. There are many new products each month, and hundreds of new features each year.

At virtualization.info, we have covered the market evolution for a long time. We know how fast the landscape is evolving, and how complex it can be keeping up the pace. Thus, we decided to shape an event with unique characteristics, different from the typical conference, which can bridge the gap between innovation and implementation in a more effective way.

Congratulations to Alessandro Perilli and watch out for extensive coverage on Virtualization.com!

Virtualization Comes In Many Flavors

February 18, 2008 by Robin Wauters Leave a Comment

Interesting article from ‘The Virtual Man’ Daniel Kusnetzky, President and Principal Analyst of Kusnetzky Group LLC and blogger at ZDNet. At a conference, he was asked by a group of attendees what he did for a living, and after a short explanation about his company he went on to explain virtualization technology.

Kusnetzky discussed the typical goals organizations have when they acquire and then deploy various types of virtualization technology, like:

  • Being able to access applications and data from just about anywhere using just about any networkable device
  • Being able to run applications or, in fact, full workloads without being concered about potential incompatibilities steming from different versions of operating systems, development tools or application frameworks
  • Being able to safely and securely access complex organizational networks
  • Being able to access applications and data even if they were stored in a datacenter halfway around the world
  • Being able to process applications faster or support more people’s work than any single reasonably priced system could manage
  • Being able to continue operations even if some component failed

Kusnetzky asks: “If you where put on the spot and asked to explain all of the different layers of technology and all of the different uses of virtualization, what would you say?”

Why don’t you go tell him? 🙂
