		Cross-Platform Virtualization SESSION CLOSED Expert: Ian Robinson, VP of Marketing, Transitive Expert Session Overview Cross-platform virtualization is the key to extending datacenter virtual infrastructure beyond the confines of x86-based applications to embrace all enterprise workloads. By deploying cross-platform virtualization in conjunction with VMware, enterprise datacenter managers can extend the acknowledged benefits of VMware (including consolidation, rapid provisioning and recoverability) to legacy applications created for non-x86 platforms. This session explains how cross-platform virtualization works and discusses common enterprise customer use cases. View this Expert Session

		Virtualization 2.2: Software Applications as Virtual Appliances SESSION CLOSED Expert: Billy Marshall, Founder and CEO, rPath Expert Session Overview Learn why data center customers should be demanding that software providers deliver applications as virtual appliances to run in their VMware virtualized environments. Virtual appliances simplify installation and configuration, increase reliability and reduce the need for support. Like any virtual machine, virtual appliances are compatible with all standard x86 computers, run in isolation, encapsulate the complete required computing environment, and run independently of underlying hardware. Maintainable virtual appliances created with rPath technology also eliminate manual updates and patches by the user and are optimized for your virtualized servers. View this Expert Session

		Energy/Cost Savings for Storage Virtualization SESSION CLOSED Expert: Larry Aszmann, CTO of Compellent Technologies Expert Session Overview Learn how to achieve energy and cost savings for Storage Virtualization and build a "green" data center for the future. Avoid ever having to expand your power and cooling infrastructure by using server/storage virtualization. Compellent technology determines the I/O workload of your environment and optimizes disk utilization and performance across all servers. They allow enterprise customers to mix and match iSCSI and Fibre Channel connectivity and manage multiple tiers of Fibre Channel and SATA disk technologies from one pool of virtual storage.
