Martin Ingram of AppSense is presenting to a general session on Why VDI? If you are like me, what VDI? VDI is desktop virtualization. Session abstract:
“The technology of desktop virtualization is moving forward rapidly but what is the real goal? This session discusses the overall objective of desktop virtualization and how technologies available now or in development contribute to that objective. By looking at the future directions of the principal virtualization technologies (hardware, operating system, application and user) and where they can be used (hosted, client and cloud) it equips you to evaluate all the technologies, their relevance for your users and the benefits you should expect.”

The first general session is Jim Rymarczyk, IBM Fellow and Chief Virtualization Technologist on Smarter Business Solutions Through Dynamic Infrastructure:
“In these difficult economic times, IT leaders are re-evaluating their one-server-per-application strategy and looking for new solutions to help increase responsiveness, scalability, and agility while reducing energy costs and improving resource utilization. IBM’s new Dynamic Infrastructure vision and evolutionary approach can help customers achieve these objectives through the implementation of virtualized IT environments. Learn why virtualization is an essential IT investment today, how its role and benefits will grow in the future, and why it will be vital in implementing the dynamic infrastructure required for smarter business solutions.”
Wow, slide snafu, giving the talk sans-slides. The talk (no longer presentation) is on expanding role of virtualization.
IT today is at breaking point, cost of managing IT has grown significantly, resiliency and security are becoming more important. Rate and pace of innovation is accelerating. Not just interesting innovation, but things you need to employ. SOA and service management certainly, but also comprehensive virtualization. Virtualization is mandatory, not just for infrastructure cost, but also for management costs, reducing the cost of IT.
