Virtual and Cloud Infrastructure optimisation
Ashley Davies, Senior Systems Engineer, VMware

As you expand the virtualization footprint and create a cloud infrastructure, IT management must change. For a more flexible and dynamic infrastructure the traditional approach to silo’d, static, physical infrastructure management does not provide adequate automation and control. This session provides guidance on the different approaches for managing virtual and cloud infrastructures and how management solutions purpose-built for virtual and cloud environments reduce cost, management overhead and increase IT agility. If you have, or plan to have a VMware-based infrastructure this session is a ‘must attend.’

New Innovations in Ethernet Fabrics are Revolutionising Virtualised Data Centres
Alan Murphy, Enterprise Marketing Manager - EMEA, Brocade Communications

IT organisations are aggressively deploying server virtualisation in data centres to consolidate applications and improve resource utilisation. The cost savings of server virtualisation resulting from increased asset utilisation, higher availability, and on-demand application deployment have met the business mandate to “do more with less.” However, the underlying limitations in current network technologies have often prevented organisations from meeting the performance, availability, security, and mobility requirements of server virtualisation.

In this session we look at the impact Cloud Computing has on your Data Centre Architecture. Recent independent research shows many European enterprises are on their journey towards a Cloud ready Data Centre, but still have a way to go. This session will help you understand what the important requirements are to enable the Data Centre to become Cloud-ready, reducing the Total Cost of Ownership. You will learn about an easy evolution of your architecture to a highly efficient, cost effective Cloud Architecture, which leverages existing investments and aligns to your business goals.

Virtualization & Cloud Projects are failing without Network Automation
Simon Horrocks, Regional Manager EMEA, Infoblox
More +Less -
The dynamic nature of Virtualization and Cloud initiatives are a blessing and a curse, since most people have overlooked the impact that the real-time changes have on the static network infrastructure.When your virtual infrastructure is changing at machine speed, your network team cannot possibly keep up using existing manual processes. Without automation, the net effect will be increased network outages, and increased MTTR, as network visibility retreats.
