 "VMware To Conduct Virtualisation Forum 2008 In India")
VMware is hosting a large virtualisation road show in India – the Virtualisation Forum 2008 scheduled to be held on November 6 in Mumbai. This event is part of a series being held across 6 cities – Sydney, Singapore, Seoul, Beijing, Mumbai and Tokyo – through October and November.
The Virtualisation Forum event series began in the region three years ago. Alongside each Virtualisation Forum, is an exclusive partner-only event – the VMware Partner Exchange conference. Virtualisation Forum 2008 and Partner Exchange 2008 will showcase VMware’s market experience and the strength of its strategic partnerships to demonstrate how virtualisation can transform business to drive real bottom-line results.
Virtualisation Forum and VMware Partner Exchange will be held in Mumbai on November 6 and 7, respectively, at Taj Land’s End Hotel. The Virtualisation Forum and Partner Exchange 2008 events in India are expected to attract more than 1000 delegates and 300 partners. More than 15 companies will be participating in the exhibition.
Ganesh Mahabala, regional director, VMware-India and SAARC said, “Virtualisation Forum and Partner Exchange 2008 will be the first-of-its-kind event focused on the adoption of virtualisation in India. Virtualisation Forum 2008 will showcase the benefits that customers and partners in India are reaping today with virtualisation.”
Virtualisation Forum 2008 and Partner Exchange 2008 will also display how VMware technology could make an impact in today’s economic scenario by helping responsible businesses cut costs, complexity as well as their carbon footprint, in keeping with their commitment to Green IT.
The event will also highlight new products that expand the VMware virtual infrastructure suite into a Virtual Data Centre Operating System (VDC-OS), as well its vCloud and vClient initiatives.
VMware’s Virtual Data Centre OS is designed to effectively address customers’ need for flexibility, speed and efficiency. The Virtual Data Centre OS enables businesses to efficiently pool all types of hardware resources – servers, storage and network – to transform the data centre into an ‘internal cloud’; when needed, the ‘internal cloud’ can federate with external clouds for additional computing capacity.
