IT Leaders Forum: Virtualisation - From planning to implementation

clock

Join Computing to discuss next steps in a successful virtualisation strategy

Register here for this event.

Virtualisation has proved to be an effective and popular way for organisations to grow their IT estate and capabilities without excessively expanding their physical infrastructure.

If managed well, a virtualisation project can result in dramatic improvements in system uptime, disaster recovery, cost and efficiency, creating knock-on benefits for the business and IT users within it.

However, it is still essential that IT leaders fully understand the implications of virtualisation before investing in this technology, and careful planning is essential.

This event will allow IT leaders an opportunity to discuss the key steps that must be taken when implementing virtualisation, and allow an opportunity to learn from those that have already done it.

• Understanding the technology landscape for desktop virtualisation: what is out there, what is new, and what will work best for your business?

• Implementation case studies and lessons learned: what can go wrong, and how can CIOs avoid the pitfalls?

• When shouldn't you virtualise?

Panelists include:

Adrian Steel, head of infrastructure management, Royal Mail Group

Karl Deacon, CTO of outsourcing services, Capgemini UK

Mark Leonard, executive vice president - infrastructure services unit, Colt Technology Services Group

Stuart Dommett, business development manager, Intel
