Virtualization has become one of the most talked-about technologies because it breaks the requirement of dedicated server hardware and software, allowing virtual server components to be dynamically created, mirrored, and backed up for maximum efficiency, agility, and cost savings. Listen as Bala Govender shares experiences about this technology and real world stories of hardware efficiencies, migration issues, expectations, and some hard learned lessons that you won't want to miss.
