Get smart and check this out: Small- and mid-sized businesses can save time and money through IT virtualization. Professionals wanting to learn more should check out Real Life Virtualization Stories: Business executives share how they saved time and money, a live webcast sponsored by IBM.
Virtualization is an IT technology that can cut costs dramatically by combining multiple servers into fewer, more powerful systems. Successful mid-size business executives who switched to virtualization will share why they chose to change and the results they have seen. For example, one of the panelists said he’s seen a 75 percent decrease in data center maintenance costs since switching to virtualized servers.
Jason Hiner, editor in chief of TechRepublic, will moderate the event. Hiner has his finger on the pulse of the industry and he recently named virtualization one of his top IT Trends for 2009. Other speakers include Nigel Fortlage, vice president of IT at GHY International and Cliff Dixon, IT director at Quality Distribution.
In addition, Judith Tracy, IBM global infrastructure marketing manager, will be answering questions. She is also the “Expert of the week” on IBM’s new Web site, InfoBOOM! , that was developed jointly with CIO magazine. InfoBOOM! will implement a new feature just before the call occurs that allows clients to interface directly with IBM executives and consultants focused on the mid-market. The new Web site also has a presence on Facebook and LinkedIn.
The virtualization webcast takes place on June 8 at 1:00 pm EST. Click here to register.
