image_thumb[2]Ready, Set, Virtualize.

Join Microsoft and IT Leaders at the Microsoft Virtualization Summit to explore trends in virtualization and how they impact your desktop and datacenter strategy, now and in the future.

During this Summit you will engage with colleagues to discuss how to reduce costs and enable business flexibility with virtualization. We will share best practices for deploying and managing these technologies to accelerate your Windows 7 migration and streamline IT management on the desktop and in the datacenter.

image This Summit includes separate tracks on server and desktop virtualization and will cover the following topics:

  • Building a desktop virtualization management strategy. Learn how using Application Virtualization (App-V) and Microsoft Enterprise Desktop Virtualization (MEDV) as part of your Windows 7 migration can simplify application delivery and management and reduce compatibility issues.
  • Delivering a comprehensive Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI). See how Microsoft VDI provides a flexible and secure way to manage and deliver desktops, applications, and data to end-users.
  • Sharing best practices for datacenter virtualization. Discover how Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V and Microsoft System Center provide a dynamic foundation for delivering applications and services as needed while increasing IT efficiency by managing both physical and virtual resources together.

We hope you will participate in this Summit and learn how Microsoft can help you discover virtualization choices that preserve and extend your existing investments.
