Description
Buzz around server virtualization has been growing in the industry for the past couple years. In 2005 National Security Technologies (Nevada Test Site) deployed Vmware ESX in to reduce the cost of purchasing servers leading to a shift in how we now do business within IT. While fulfilling on the promise of reducing cost and making us “green” it has made its mark well beyond the fundamentally changing the server infrastructure. Three years later server virtualization has impacted networking, applications, licensing, storage, backups, and the facility itself is designed. This presentation will look beyond virtualization itself to the impact it has made on your IT department as a whole.
