UK organisations are leading the world in terms of virtualisation. The latest research* into adoption rates predicts explosive take-up in the UK, outstripping growth of virtualisation technologies in the US and the rest of EMEA.

Previously, virtualisation was largely confined to non-critical processes. But leading organisations now see it as a proven technology ready for prime-time deployment in mission-critical applications. IT leaders will need to manage this rapid growth of virtualisation to ensure they derive the maximum benefit while avoiding the risk of destabilising business services.

This Computing web seminar in association with CA and featuring a guest speaker from VMware will explore the driving forces behind the rapid take-up of virtualisation among UK firms. The panellists will discuss how you can harness virtualisation to increase business value through the inherent operational efficiencies of virtualisation which touches all points of IT infrastructure from datacentre to desktop.
