FRAMINGHAM, Mass. - (Business Wire) GlassHouse Technologies, the leading independent IT infrastructure consulting and services firm, today announced that Ron Oglesby, director of virtualization and architecture services, will present at the VMworld Europe Conference on Wednesday, February 27 at 4:30 p.m. in Redaction room 2.
With so many companies focusing on disaster preparedness, a proper strategy for implementing a virtualization solution is often overlooked. Oglesby’s presentation - “Great Expectations: Are You Seeing the Real Benefits of Virtualization?” - will discuss implementation strategies, including why some virtualization customers are not meeting their ROI expectations after implementing a virtualization solution and the methods for remedying those issues. Oglesby will also highlight customers’ virtualization preparedness prior to implementation.
Very cool, the VMWorld Europe conference looked great and hopefully will attend next year. It would have been great to participate. It’s interesting to hear what people see as the benefits of virtualization as well as what benefits people are actually experiencing once the technology is deployed. One of my colleagues had been mentioning that they’d managed to virtualize about 300 development DL380’s over a few months, as part of a project to virtualize the infrastructure, the challenge they’re having is decommissioning this volume of servers, it’s easy to decommission 1 even 10 servers, scale that up and managing the logistics, the change process and everything else can get a bit more difficult, particularly if theire are specific time scales involved.
