Managing Sprawl and Self-Service for Virtual Machines
Speaker:
Scott Hammond

Track:Server, Desktop & Storage Virtualization
With virtualization, server requests can be processed in minutes instead of weeks or months. But rapid provisioning of virtual servers can result in sprawl and other challenges. How do you ensure governance and prevent sprawl, while maintaining the efficiency and agility benefits of virtualization? This session will explain how to use a Service Catalog of standard options to enable self-service requests while enforcing pre-approved VM images, stop dates, and policy controls. The session will include case studies of how a leading retailer achieved 85% faster turn-around for server requests and a health care company saved $10 million in data center costs.
