COURSE 7475 | 2-day SESSION
Implementing Virtualization in the Enterprise

---

Implemented correctly, virtualization technologies have the potential to create vast improvements in the utilization of IT resources. Unfortunately, most virtualization deployments are conducted almost ad hoc without real thought given to the implications of this new infrastructure. Worse yet, most organizations have yet to even utilize virtual environments in anything more than a test lab because there is no clear method for how to deploy the technology. The benefits to this technology are obvious from a generic standpoint, but there is very little information available on the best way to implement virtualization in order to maximize resources and performance while minimizing cost.

This dynamic, two-day course will demystify the uncertainty surrounding virtualization implementation and give you the knowledge to create a detailed, specific strategy to deploy the right virtualization technologies for your environment and achieve maximum return on investment. You and your staff will evaluate the different software and hardware options, explore sizing to achieve the best utilization, and leave the course with an in-depth understanding of the virtualization landscape and how best to utilize it in your organization.
