Recorded - view on demand Duration: 30 minutes Speaker: Frank E. Gillett

Server virtualization for x86 servers is drawing wide attention and adoption, because it offers IT flexiblity, cost savings, and new business continuity options. But IT shouldn't think of server virtualization in isolation - to capture the full potential of server virtualization, IT must also implement new storage, network, and systems management capabilities. Forrester Research will discuss details on how IT operations execs should use an integrated approach to implementing server virtualization.

Following the presentation, a senior systems engineer at XenSource will show a live demo of the new XenEnterprise v4 product.
