March's Topic: *VMware Solutions on Sun x64 Opteron Servers*
VMware virtual infrastructure software is used by enterprises large and
small to increase the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of their IT
operations. Find out how VMware software can help to consolidate
servers, optimize software development and provide affordable business
continuity.
Presentation highlights will include:
*Server Consolidation and Containment*: Bring unmanageable server sprawl
under control by using virtualization to run multiple workloads on fewer
servers and to reduce future needs for physical servers.
*Development & Test Optimization*: Transform the software lifecycle
by using virtualization to reduce costs, increase productivity, and improve
quality in development and test.
*Business Continuity*: Reduce downtime by making high availability and
disaster recovery solutions more cost-effective, simpler, and more
reliable.
