YHMAN presents in association with C-Ways:

With an ever changing IT agenda, where IT Managers need to show real world projects to deliver against GREEN IT, Business Continuity, Disaster Recovery and consolidation of both data centres, server and storage equipment. New developments introduced by VMware, vSphere will change our future working practices.

This seminar sets out to show how Universities can capitalize on this ground breaking technology.

VMware vSphere is a virtualization solution that allows you to turn your infrastructure into an efficient and flexible internal cloud, enabling you to:

* Decrease your capital and operating costs by over 50%

* Run a greener datacenter and reduce your energy costs

* Control your application services levels with advanced availability and security features

* Streamline IT operations and improve flexibility

VMware technology is being used by over 130,000 customers worldwide, including 100% of the Fortune 100. vSphere™ is the next generation of the powerful and proven VMware® Infrastructure 3 platform, which dramatically reduces capital expenses per application by 50% and operating expenses per application by over 60%.

vSphere 4 also increases the operational efficiency of virtual networking management with vNetwork Distributed Switch which simplifies and enhances network provisioning, monitoring and administration in vSphere environments.

vStorage Thin Provisioning allows administrators to optimize the use and management of storage in virtual environments.

vSphere 4 increases control over application availability levels with VMware Fault Tolerance, which provides zero downtime, zero data loss and continuous application availability.
