Virtualization: from hype to foundation seminar (NL)

Tuesday, June 9th, 2009, by

In June our employer, Centric, is organizing a virtualization seminar for current and future clients.

The title is: ‘Virtualization: from hype to foundation’ or in dutch ‘Virtualisatie: van hype naar fundament’. The description and program (in dutch) can be found below (NL)

Wilt u weten wat server- en desktopvirtualisatie voor uw organisatie kunnen betekenen? Bent u benieuwd hoe u
virtualisatie toepast binnen uw organisatie om de voordelen hiervan optimaal te benutten?

Dan bent u van harte welkom op het seminar ‘Virtualisatie: van hype naar fundament’ dat plaatsvindt op:

16 juni – Van der Valk Hotel, Cuijk
23 juni – Centric Hoofdkantoor, Gouda

Virtualisatie is al niet meer weg te denken uit het IT-landschap. Het aantal organisaties dat servervirtualisatie inzet
voor storage-omgevingen, serverconsolidatie en de isolatie van testomgevingen neemt snel toe. Ook de voordelen
van desktopvirtualisatie worden steeds vaker in de praktijk benut. Ontdek zelf welke ontwikkelingen de techniek op
dit gebied heeft doorgemaakt en wat de verwachtingen zijn voor de toekomst.

U krijgt inzicht in de verschillende doelen die u met virtualisatie kunt bereiken en aan de hand van een praktijksituatie
ziet u het effect van virtualisatie op kostenbesparing op hardware, energieverbruik en benodigde serverruimte.
Bovendien maakt u kennis met de projectaanpak die Centric voor virtualisatie hanteert en gaan we in op de wijze
waarop u virtualisatie strategisch kunt inzetten bij het ontwerp van een moderne IT-infrastructuur.

Namens onze partner VMware gaat de heer Willem van Engeland, System engineer, in op de werking van de onlangs
op de markt verschenen oplossingen VMware vSphere 4 en VMware View. Hij vertelt u alles over de noviteiten
van deze nieuwe en innoverende virtualisatie-oplossingen.

Als gastspreker is tevens de heer Peter Goossens, IT-manager van Saxion Hogeschool aanwezig. Hij vertelt u over
zijn praktijkervaring met virtualisatie en geeft aan wat dit voor zijn organisatie betekent.

Graag tot ziens op 16 of 23 juni!

Centric/VMware seminar. It was a success!

Friday, November 28th, 2008, by

Yesterday, after weeks of preparation, it was finally time to treat our clients to a day of VMware delight.

The last days especially were very very hard, I must agree with AJ, everyone who claims IT is a 9-to-5 job is insane.

Thanks to Marc we received a HP C3000 blade enclosure with a 480c and a 685c blade on Monday which we will use to build a VDI demo/hands-on lab. After a last meeting with the guys from VMware we also had to contact some of our personal clients to attend the seminar. (more…)
