• Publishers' Description

Server virtualization is hot, and for good reason. Virtualization enables computers to run multiple operating systems and applications on the same physical server. The benefits to IT managers are compelling. However, there are a number of hidden "gotchas" that can thwart IT's efforts to migrate existing applications to a virtual environment and can threaten the stability of mission-critical applications.

Check out this TechRepublic Webcast, hosted by James Hilliard and featuring Ed Harnish, Acronis' Vice President of Marketing, to learn how:

• Hardware resources can be consolidated onto fewer servers
• IT organizations can scale their server resources
• IT staff resources can be deployed more efficiently
• Legacy applications can be redeployed to virtual machines, extending application life and increasing performance
• Security can be improved if the operating system doesn't communicate directly with the host

Gartner calls virtualization a "megatrend" and International Data Corp. forecasts that spending for virtualization will reach $15 billion by 2009. So listen to this Webcast, sponsored by Acronis and now available on demand, to learn more about the trend toward virtual computing and how to avoid virtualization "gotchas." Check it out today!
