As you consider your cloud and virtualization options, the question that resonates above all else is: Where do I start?

This event is for organizations in the beginning stages of virtualizing application servers for both routine and mission-critical applications.

In this presentation, industry leaders will help you to prepare for private, public or hybrid cloud deployment, as well as discuss the cost saving and performance-enhancing capabilities available in the cloud. Experts will offer guidance and share best practices for undertaking a cloud computing project including:

- What’s in an app: Which applications are easier to virtualize
- Database Strategies: Best practices for virtualizing database driven applications
- Web and Messaging: Internet-facing applications and virtualization approaches
- How to approach virtualizing your homegrown code
- The virtualization pitfalls to avoid when planning your cloud strategy

While most of the focus on cloud computing and virtualization centers on its impact on servers, there is another large aspect that is often overlooked when planning a cloud strategy, client virtualization. Where server virtualization offers the benefits of flexibility, speed and good ROI; client virtualization can reach into every corner of your enterprise, and bring mission-critical applications to users, devices and locations that were previously impractical or impossible to serve.

Join experts from VMware and HP to learn how client-side virtualization can improve your organization’s performance, while reducing the IT burden of managing and maintaining an increasingly diverse client universe.

Attendees will learn:

- Different methods for client virtualization.
- How to extend the life of client desktop and laptops regardless of their OS.
- What tools are at your disposal to ease your cloud computing transition.
- How to calculate the ROI of client virtualization.
- Will virtualization extend the life of your PCs past their planned refresh? Register now for this complimentary eSeminar and find out!

In the next year at least half of all small to mid- businesses will move to virtualization. Will yours be among them? The benefits are real – improved agility and cost savings, but so are the challenges – especially protecting data and maintaining uptime for your new virtual machines and all their application data.

As the foundation of Cloud Computing, The Big “V” is one of the big buzzwords in technology, and with a dizzying array of choices it’s important to have guidance on how to provide fast, efficient and reliable protection of your applications to ensure your users have access when they need it.
