InfoWorld Virtualization Executive Forum Returns to San Francisco

IDG’s InfoWorld Executive Forum returns for the fifth time, and once again takes place in the beautiful Hotel Nikko in San Francisco on Monday, February 4, 2008.

This event is geared toward the executive level, and it offers a real-world guidance and discussion around the best practices for a dynamically managed IT environment. The one-day event will highlight the top sessions from the two-day event that recently took place in New York. In addition, the event staff has added all new keynote presentations and panel discussions covering key virtualization themes from software licensing implications to the skillset and security needed for the technology.

Virtualization industry expert and Enterprise Management Associates (EMA) analyst Andi Mann returns to the InfoWorld Virtualization Executive Forum stage to deliver what promises to be an exciting keynote presentation. A lot has changed in the industry since Mann’s first InfoWorld keynote back in 2006. This time, he will discuss the changes in virtualization and IT management that have occurred over the past 12-18 months, present a perspective on the current state of the virtualization space, and provide actionable advice to help you understand and overcome the many challenges in managing a virtual IT environment. I promise you, this is a keynote that you don’t want to miss.

Sessions will also include case studies detailing the processes, challenges and results of server, storage and desktop virtualization as well as focused sessions on both virtual server security and the Green IT energy savings achievable through virtualization technologies.
