SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–IDG’s InfoWorld, the leading integrated media brand for IT solutions management, today announced plans for its fourth Virtualization Executive Forum, taking place September 24-25, 2007 at the Roosevelt Hotel in New York City.

“At Virtualization Executive Forum, you’ll hear first-hand from IT executives at companies that are implementing these technologies across the spectrum,” said Doug Dineley, InfoWorld’s executive editor and content chair for the event. “The event will allow open discussions on the benefits and challenges for both administrators and end users of weaving virtualization into your IT infrastructure.”

September’s agenda features more interactive sessions in both the deep-dive Technical Track and Case Studies Track where IT experts will share their experiences with server virtualization, storage virtualization, file virtualization, desktop virtualization and application virtualization, then open up the discussion to the audience. Expert panel discussions will cover topics including virtual server security, open source virtualization and greener IT technologies. Plus, keynote presentations by top industry analysts and IT practitioners including USinternetworking CTO Toby Ford will outline the potential pitfalls of converting an entire organization to a virtualized infrastructure, innovative uses of virtualization and important virtualization technology trends. The preliminary lineup of topics for September is now available online at: http://VirtExecForum.com.

Very cool, sounds very interesting, virtualization of the infrastructure end to end, from the network to the server and the application if done in the right way can bring benefits to the business, to make the technology an enabler, that said the right way differs for every company, whether it’s using blades and VMWare, virtualization of the desktop with thin client and Citrix, or application virtualization through DataSynapse. Check it out, sounds like an interesting event.
