We are in the midst of a revolutionary change in how applications are sold, delivered, deployed and managed.
Virtualization cuts across just about all of what you might find in the data center: clients, servers, applications, storage systems, data networks, and security can all be virtualized to one degree or another. And chief executives are discovering that virtualization has the potential to not only improve the balance sheet, but strengthen competitive advantage and put a shine on the corporate brand.
Join us in Santa Clara, CA, at the 7th International Virtualization Conference & Expo and find out for yourself how the industry's leading practitioners are implementing their virtualization strategy.
There will be sessions on aspects ranging far beyond server virtualization to virtualization management tools and virtualized desktop infrastructure, para-virtualization, security and compliance issues, Green IT, cloud and datacenter filesystems, distributed I/O resource management, database management in virtualized environments, secure mobile device virtualization, and resource management and load balancing issues.
Make certain your company is leveraging the performance, reliability and cost benefits of enterprise-class virtualization: please join us at SYS-CON's 7th International Virtualization Conference & Expo in Santa Clara, California!
The conference, co-located with the 4th International Cloud Computing Conference & Expo, will also feature our ever-popular SYS-CON.TV Power Panels, transmitted Web-wide live from the Keynote Room. The Power Panels are FREE to all attendees.

The Time is Right for Enterprise Cloud Computing
Up to now you may have been reluctant to move your Enterprise application workloads to the cloud, fearing a lack of security in the cloud, compliance issues such as data location regulations and having to rewrite your applications. During his keynote, Rich Marcello will discuss the latest technologies and approaches that help knock down these barriers, creating the opportunity for attendees to now consider cloud managed services as part of their data center journey to secure "IT as a Service".
Rich Marcello is a senior vice president of Unisys and serves as President of Systems & Technology.

Santa Clara Keynote - 4th International Cloud Computing Conference & Expo
Cloud Computing: Separating Hype from Reality
Enterprises large and small are drawn by the advantages of cloud computing - pay-for-use, self-service, elastic scalability and the elimination of hardware management – resulting in very low barriers to entry and exit and high agility. However enterprises are also concerned about security, quality of service, integration, compliance, lock-in, and long term costs of public clouds. Private clouds for the exclusive use of one enterprise can mitigate these concerns by giving the enterprise greater control. This keynote will explore how enterprises are likely to adopt public and private cloud computing, building on a foundation of virtualization infrastructure and management systems.
Richard Sarwal is SVP of Development for Oracle Enterprise Manager.
