Round Table

Virtualisation
Brian Corrigan 11 March, 2008 14:30:20
“Consolidation and containment has been the primary driver but there’s so much more to it” VMware’s David Blackman “Never tell a client that you can virtualise their entire environment. You’ll come up short if they pull an ancient box out from under the desk” Leading Solutions’ Roy Pater “It’s an economical way to deploy that reduces management overheads because you can run one SOE [standard operating environment] and push it through to everyone” Ingram Micro’s Peter Pollari “We haven’t seen successful virtualisation of high-performance databases” The Missing Link’s Jason Arnold-Auland “We have clients that are getting closer to utility computing than they ever have through server and storage virtualisation” Technical Architecture Solutions’ Tony Wilkinson “A lot of larger organisations are starting to deploy virtualisation very heavily in their DR infrastructure” CA’s Jason Shannon “We are seeing our large customers seriously committing themselves to a virtualisation play” Frontline Systems’ Greg Wade “Our focus this year is to convince DR customers that they need to virtualise their production environments” IMC Communications’ Andrew Gifford “Virtualisation will become endemic and customers will start talking to resellers about cost per application. That will be the interesting metric going forward” IBM’s Peter Hedges “VDI is our big push and we see it as a massive opportunity. Advances in technology have removed a lot of problems” Oriel Technologies’ Rodney Haywood “We’re still leading with server consolidation, particularly in SMB where organisations have had a fairly eclectic approach to hardware purchasing” Artis Group’s Chris Caswell
