Overcoming Barriers To Virtualisation

As virtualisation has grown in popularity and acceptance in IT departments around the world, technology professionals have paid increasing attention. Most IT experts understand that virtualisation offers increased flexibility, lower costs (both in hardware and cost of power), reduced footprints and better use of resources. Yet there remains a sense of mistrust. Some people think its too expensive and others are concerned about the concept because they think virtualisation consolidates risk.

Andy Smith has worked on a number of virtualisation projects over the years in his previous role as head of the Virtualisation & Infrastructure team at EACS. He will share with you some of his experience and look in more detail at the common misconceptions surrounding virtualisation and how recent advancements in technology make it ever more appropriate to contemporary organisations.
