How to make the move to cloud computing with virtualisation

Virtualisation is one of the hottest technology trends of the moment. Early adopters are already saving money and reducing their energy use by consolidating servers into a more flexible and easier to manage IT infrastructure.

But there is more to virtualisation than even these benefits. The technology is central to migrating to cloud computing, the emerging strategy for internet-based software and IT resources that promises to deliver significant gains in IT efficiency.

In this Computing web seminar, in association with IBM, we examine the role of virtualisation in today’s IT strategies. Our panel of experts will discuss the best practice in cutting costs and saving energy using the technology, and look at its role in the roadmap to cloud computing.
