Virtualization has been around for quite some time in many forms despite the buzz about server virtualization. In actuality server virtualization is a logical extension of the abstractions continually inserted into systems management. This talk will compare the two most prevalent offerings at current, VMware ESXi and MS Server
2008 Hyper-V. The talk will evaluate what scenarios are eligible for virtualization and when not to use it. A look will be taken at the feature sets offered including disaster recovery, high availability, and physical to virtual conversion. Installation, configuration, and creation of virtual servers. The attendee will leave with the knowledge necessary to evaluate if virtualization might benefit their organization and how to begin implementation.
