Whether you're already working with virtualization or the technology is in your future plans, the VirtualizationPro 2010 Summit & Expo is your destination for learning everything you need to deploy, configure, secure, optimize, and manage virtualization technology.

This conference-with a focus on Microsoft Hyper-V and VMware solutions-will feature independent industry experts (as well as speakers from Microsoft and VMware) discussing VDI and desktop virtualization, server virtualization, application virtualization, virtualized storage, high availability and disaster recovery, and the dynamic data center.

Amid the worst-ever decline in technology spending, companies still invested in virtualization-an area poised for further growth as tech budgets loosen. Roughly 16 percent of data runs through virtualized machines. Last year, there were 5.8 million virtualized servers; Gartner predicts that number to rise tenfold by 2012. Keep ahead of the curve by attending the VirtualizationPro 2010 Summit & Expo featuring keynote speakers Steve Riley (Virtualization in the Cloud), Edwin Yuen (Microsoft Virtualization and Management), Jack Lo (VMware Virtualization) and presentations from virtualization experts such as Don Jones, Greg Shields, Sean Deuby, Dan Holme, Michael Otey, John Savill, Michael Noel, Alan Sugano, and more.
