The Virtualization Conference & Expo 2007 West is being held in San Francisco today and tomorrow. Virtual Iron will be represented by our own Sinu Jonnavithula, who will be speaking about Virtualization for the Rest of Us:

While server virtualization promises great advantages and ROI, to date, available solutions have been too expensive and too complex, especially for organizations with tight budgets and limited staff. Today, with the help of emerging industry standards and open source technologies, all the benefits of server virtualization are available to organizations of all sizes. This session will discuss how these technologies are changing the price/performance equation and helping organizations of all sizes take server virtualization to the next level. The presenter, one of the pre-eminent experts in the industry, will highlight how companies of all sizes are leveraging the latest server virtualization technologies to:

• Improve the utilization of their x86 systems and hardware
• Optimize their development and test processes
• Provision new systems in minutes instead of hours
• Automate load balancing and capacity management
• Leverage policy-based capabilities for automatic system failover
• Conduct system maintenance without disrupting running systems
• Support business continuity and disaster recovery scenarios with less hardware

Sinu is speaking today at 6:25pm as part of Track 4 at the event.
