IT Manager Webcast: Platform Solution Blueprints: Virtualization and Infrastructure Management (Level 200)  

Virtualization in the enterprise helps IT managers in two critical ways. First, virtualization reduces costs by consolidating servers, eliminating unnecessary hardware contracts, and simplifying client hardware configurations through presentation and application virtualization. Second, virtualization can dramatically increase flexibility. When a resource formerly pinned to hardware can be recreated in software, it can be created, changed, or removed with a speed hardware cannot match.
 
Implementation of Microsoft virtualization solutions can dramatically improve the capability of an organization to respond quickly to business demands without extensive additional capital investment. Further, improved manageability means organizations can focus on future solutions without sacrificing already over-committed resources.
 
In this webcast, we discuss how the platform capabilities of Microsoft virtualization solutions enable organizations to expand their infrastructure options without sacrificing existing investments. If you need to do more with less, tune in to this webcast and see how Microsoft virtualization enables you to turn tactical decisions into strategy.
