Virtualization is no longer a passing trend. Organization deploying it in their servers, desktops, storage and networks are experiencing increased performance and decreased costs, when implemented and managed properly. Join this channel to hear leading experts discuss this maturing technology and how you can create your own software-defined data center.

Windows Virtual Desktop (WVD) – Microsoft's desktop as a service (DaaS) -- lets IT administrators set up a full virtual desktop or remote applications for enterprise users. Deployment is not extremely complicated but it takes long and diligent effort. In this video, learn how a properly configured DaaS saves time in troubleshooting and management and also what steps to take employing Azure Resource Manager, which can perform several WVD setup and management tasks.

How to Set Up Windows Virtual Desktop

Containers and VMs each possess unique characteristics and tradeoffs, but there are many dimensions to consider when selecting a virtualization technology. Get a brief overview of VMs and containers and use cases for each.

VMs or Containers –  Or Both?

Software is eating the world. It is the catalyst that is driving disruptive innovation and has led to marketing-ease such as software-defined data centers, software-defined storage, software-defined networks, and software-defined anything.

In this session, we will discuss how IT professionals can successfully add value to the software-defined ecosystem as they continuously integrate and continuously deliver application services that meet and exceed any customer’s expectation.

Join this webinar to discuss:
- What are the key tenets of software-defined constructs?
- How do I apply a foundational set of skills like monitoring as a discipline to guarantee success as a software-defined professional?

Monitor with Discipline: Software-Defined Professionals

Originally restricted to making better use of physical servers, virtualization has grown to power anything and everything in the modern data center. Along with the technology came the luxury to simplify the provisioning of resources as they are needed. 

In this webinar, we will explore how virtualization can be leveraged to quickly and cheaply create servers on-demand and avoid the lengthy delays associated with handling and cabling physical hardware.

Join Petros Koutoupis, Lead Linux Systems Developer for IBM Cloud Object Storage, for a technical deep-dive into Linux operating systems running on virtual machines.

The On-Demand Data Center: Why you Should Consider System Virtualization

There are many types of storage technologies, both in how they are interconnected, consumed and designed. Object storage is no different in that it brings its own set of unique characteristics to the market. In this webinar, storage experts Rick Vanover and Chris Evans will explain:

•What object storage is and what it does 
•How to use object storage
•Essential characteristics of typical consumption
•Why object storage is important to the future of storage and computing technologies

Object Storage: What, How and Why

Since the initial publication of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) definition of cloud computing in 2011, international standards development organizations (SDOs) have sought to refine and expand the cloud computing landscape. This webinar will: 

•Identify key published and draft cloud standards
•Discuss their interdependencies
•Highlight their importance
•Identify potential future work. 

In addition, related technologies such as virtualization, federation, and fog/edge computing will be addressed. Lastly, the relevance of the standards will be explored to help organizations understand ways these documents can be exploited.

Cloud Standards: What They Are, Why You Should Care

One of Fibre Channel’s greatest strengths is its ability to scale to thousands and thousands of nodes, while providing predictable performance. So, when we say that Fibre Channel has unmatched scalability, what does that actually mean? And how does it work?

We often hear about “designed from the ground up,” but in this case it’s actually true. From each individual link, to the overall domain architecture, each step along the way is intended to be approached in a scalable fashion. 

In this webinar, we’ll be breaking down the pieces of the puzzle that help give Fibre Channel its robustness when you’re working at fabrics even greater than 10,000 nodes. We’ll be talking about:

•What a deterministic storage network is  
       •Fabric management principles
       •Negotiated credit transfers (buffer-to-buffer credits)
•Network Engineering/Design Principles  
       •Oversubscription and Fan-In Ratios
       •Topologies that help scale
       •Domains and Fabric limits
•Consistency of performance at scale  

Along the way, we’ll be talking about some of the ways that Fibre Channel differs from other popular storage networks as they approach large-scale environments, and how it handles issues that arise in such cases.

Please join us on November 6th at 10:00 am PT/1:00 pm ET for another educational webinar on Fibre Channel!

Software defined storage, or SDS, is growing in popularity in both cloud and enterprise accounts. But what makes it different from traditional storage arrays? Does it really save money? Is it more complicated to support? Is it more scalable or higher-performing? And does it have different networking requirements than traditional storage appliances?
  
Watch this SNIA webcast to learn:
•How software-defined storage differs from integrated storage appliances
•Whether SDS supports block, file, object, or all three types of storage access
•Potential issues or pitfalls with deploying SDS
•How SDS affects storage networking
•Scale-up vs. scale-out vs. hyperconverged vs. cloud

What Software Defined Storage Means for Storage Networking

What does it mean to be protected and safe? You need the right people and the right technology. This presentation is going to go into the broad introduction of security principles in general. This will include some of the main aspects of security, including defining the terms that you must know, if you hope to have a good grasp of what makes something secure or not.  We’ll be talking about the scope of security, including threats, vulnerabilities, and attacks – and what that means in real storage terms. In this live webcast we will cover: 

•Protecting the data (Keeping “the bad” out)
•Threat landscape, Bad actors/hackers
•Attack vectors, attack surfaces, vulnerabilities
•Physical security issues
•Layers of protection (encryption – last line of defense)
•Remediation after a breach/incident

Best practices to secure and separate the personal from the corporate on mobile devices.               

The Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) trend has brought added challenges to the enterprise. As more employees connect to the corporate network with their personal devices, complexities emerge around data and management.  When it comes to BYOD it is increasingly clear that there is a need for separation of the personal from the professional. 

IT administrators need a strategy on how to control policy, management, and data removal in isolation on personal devices. Organizations are turning to mobile virtualization to solve this issue. 

Join us on July 11th to discover the best practices on how to secure and separate the personal from corporate on mobile devices through mobile virtualization.
