The Virtualisation Fast Track

As firms seek to maximise IT efficiency and reduce costs, predictions are that pre-integrated systems are the next major development in enterprise IT, but how do you get the best from them? Virtualisation has become a key layer in the enterprise infrastructure stack, but recent trends have shown that some organisations are struggling to get beyond the initial stages.

At the moment, the IT departments in many companies are spending a significant amount of time and money on the design, purchase, configuration, integration, optimisation, and expansion of their IT infrastructures which are required for delivering server and desktop virtualisation to the business. This need not be the case and the move certainly should not be a big challenge or a drain on company resources. 

With clear management and consolidation benefits, virtualisation and cloud are a commonplace IT reality; the benefits can be seen immediately, and new services are available within minutes.

With converged infrastructure, many organisations are already seeing benefits due to the advantages of it being pre-designed, pre-integrated and pre-tested, as certain vendors offer one part number, one price and one support model and warranty.

Deployment times can be dramatically reduced, with some reporting time to production reducing from three months to three days, and in doing so dramatically reduced their cost of sale.

Fujitsu, in association with NetApp, VMWare and Symantec, will host an event on Wednesday 5 March 2014 in The Guinness Storehouse addressing these issues and benefits. Attendees will: 

  • Join the Virtualisation fast track
  • Hear key trends on converged infrastructure where Chris Ingle, Vice President Consulting for IDC, will provide a roadmap for the next generation of virtualisation, automation and appliance solutions
  • Hear an end user interview that will show how a successful organisation has begun their journeys and are enjoying the benefits
  • Learn how to avoid the pitfalls ensuring minimum configuration, maximum value in the shortest amount of time
