Description
My presentation will be about how to have an measured approach to virtualization. I will discuss basic steps to virtualizing any environment. From defining a scope of work all the way to production operations. I will cover all the high level steps in between as to what elements of an environment to perform analysis on. What analytical tools or services are available. Organizational considerations and administrative models. Return on investment tools and implementation plan. I will speak on using virtualization for capabilities such as server provisioning, high availability and disaster recovery. I will briefly cover the three predominant virtualization technologies, VMWare, Xen and Microsoft’s Hyper-V.
