VISTA Preparing Your Organisation for Microsoft Vista |
| Costly, unplanned server and storage sprawl wastes money, time, and space. Virtualisation promises to help, but you want to make an informed decision. Virtualisation with Dell is simple, logical and pervasive so it’s better, faster, with no lock-in agenda. This session covers how Dell helps simplify virtualisation deployment and ongoing management with optimised systems, fast-start services, and an open approach to management. Together with VMware and EqualLogic, our virtualisation solutions provide an efficient and agile foundation that can easily scale in-step with your business. |
Windows Vista is a significant upgrade with tangible benefits for key facets of IT infrastructure. While many of the general benefits are clear, it's often the detail that is critical in deciding how to approach your upgrade strategy. Whether you are deploying soon or are still in the planning phase, this session reviews key migration considerations such as licensing and application compatibility. Dell and Microsoft will also show you how to prepare for Vista Deployment through a suite of available tools and services that reduce the costs and complexity of the implementation of Vista and the upcoming Windows Vista Server in your organisation. |
