This paper explains, how to provide adequate network redundancy and isolation, adaptive automation practices for high availability and the best tools to eliminate separate virtual and physical management structures. 

Virtual Desktop Infrastructure enables end users or their hosting providers to provision and manage hundreds of individual, virtual desktops from a set of centrally administered, consolidated servers. 

Learn how VKernel's Chargeback Virtual Appliance helps companies gain cost visibility and chargeback on resource utilization; recover costs of ESX Infrastructure; and measure resource consumption by applications, resource pools and clusters. 

Combining Microsoft Hyper-V technology with SCVMM 2008 on Dell platforms can help organizations create highly available virtualized systems while offering simplified management, dynamic performance, and reduced costs. 

Watch this webcast to learn the importance of effective virtual server management in your data center. Learn how virtualization health checks and consolidation planning can enable your organization to proactively predict when to improve capacity and resource utilization while minimizing contention. 

In this Podcast, backup expert, Mark Bowker, addresses how this technology helps leverage your storage, network, and computing resources. 

The very same virtualization infrastructure you use for your servers today can be naturally extended to support the hosting of desktops as well. As a result, users gain the flexibility of connecting to a well-managed desktop from virtually any network endpoint. But how do you get there? 

Managing desktop environments across the enterprise can be challenging for many organizations. Virtualization of desktop systems is an increasingly popular solution, but requires scalability and balanced design for successful implementation. This white paper discusses the use of Sun Fire X4450 servers as a virtual desktop infrastructure platform. 

In a virtual server infrastructure where all resources are shared, optimal performance can only be achieved with an adequate amount of properly allocated resource capacity. Not allocating enough resources can cause critical bottlenecks - leading to performance problems and costly downtime events. 

Many organizations lack visibility into the physical and virtual infrastructure in their data center, preventing them from achieving effective infrastructure management. This webcast explores how dependency mapping addresses this issue by enabling you to track and control configurations, model and test proposed changes and execute failure analysis. 

In this podcast, learn about a unified approach to IT management. Discover how to decrease complexity introduced by virtualization and cloud computing to ensure optimal performance of your virtual and physical environments. 

Virtual desktops provide many consolidation opportunities, as well as some unique security and business continuity advantages. This webcast gives an overview of desktop virtualization, highlights several virtual desktop solutions, and analyzes the operational efficiency gains possible with desktop virtualization.
