Hypervisor-Agnostic Virtualization - BayLISA for May, 2012

Join us at BayLISA this month for virtualization technology that applies (or will soon apply) to multiple hypervisors.

Budget issues, licensing, and the popularity of Whatever-As-A-Service platforms are leading many companies to work with hypervisors that don't come from companies whose names start with VMW, often in hybrid environments including that particular hypervisor platform.

Our first confirmed presenter is Xangati (http://xangati.com/ipm/), whose "360 degree infrastructure performance management" enables you to manage VI/VDI environments from all angles with insights not otherwise readily available from stock VM tools.

Our second confirmed presenter is Hotlink (http://www.hotlink.com/technology/), HotLink's first-of-a-kind virtual integration and transformation platform enables interoperability of all major hypervisors using existing management infrastructure - no additional management console required! With HotLink, data centers can apply the right hypervisor to each workload without sacrificing the ability to interoperate and seamlessly manage across the entire infrastructure.

Our third confirmed presenter is Tegile Systems (http://www.tegile.com/), maker of expandable multi-protocol hybrid NAS/SAN arrays with application aware provisioning.
