Virtualization 201 - Virtual Desktop Infrastructure |
| Presenter: |
Edward Gaibor, Senior Consultant, Interphase Systems |
| Time: |
10:30 AM to 11:15 AM |
| Room: |
Breakout Room 1 |
| Description: |
Secure Systems & Data. Business data will always be a critical resource and key factor in the success of any business. Corporations must maintain control of its location and security without sacrificing the needs of end users or the support they require. Desktop Virtualization can remove much of this risk through centralization of data and management tasks. The associated hardware independence inherent within Desktop Virtualization also increases the speed of desktop provisioning, decommissioning and allows for centralized patch/upgrade management. This session will focus on these and other benefits that come with desktop virtualization and why all companies, large and small, should give serious consideration to this approach. |

Virtualization 201 - Managing Pre-Production Environments through Virtualization |
| Presenter: |
Lew Smith, Product Manager, Interphase Systems |
| Time: |
12:30 PM to 01:15 PM |
| Room: |
Breakout Room 2 |
| Description: |
Manage Environments. Along with the typical financial pressures of building and managing pre-production environments (Dev, Integration, Test, QA, UAT, Production, etc.), there are substantial challenges related to environment provisioning, consistency and overall management. VMware's Lab Manager and Stage Manager provide necessary automation to streamline the management of these environments while reducing the risk of "configuration drift" between environments. This presentation will focus on the key benefits of each tool and how they can be applied to your infrastructure. |

Virtualization 201 - Automating Disaster Recovery with VMware's Site Recovery Manager |
| Presenter: |
Lew Smith, Product Manager, Interphase Systems |
| Time: |
01:30 PM to 02:15 PM |
| Room: |
Breakout Room 2 |
| Description: |
Be Prepared! Recent natural disasters have forced companies to leave their premises for extended periods of time, which has yielded an elevated understanding that it is not a matter of if a disaster will occur, but when. Hurricane Katrina is one example of a major disaster that has forced companies to pause and reevaluate their Disaster Recovery strategy. Virtualization technologies have created an affordable DR approach, yielding greater environment flexibility and mobility. However, many manual steps must still be taken to recover or failover an entire IT environment. VMware's Site Recovery Manager (SRM) can automate most of those manual steps to provide a repeatable, reportable and recoverable solution to complement your corporate DR plan. This presentation will focus on the benefits of SRM and key points of consideration when looking to automate your DR steps. |
