Description
Virtualization has become over the
past years a popular approach to try and use more
efficiently computing resources.
In this lecture, a general overview of what virtualization
is and what it can provide is given. Server
virtualization is a particular mode of implementation which
is explained. In order to provide a clearer picture of the
features and benefits of virtualization and to usefully
complement the theoretical explanations, several practical
demos will be presented to the audience.

|
Audience and benefits
Anyone interested in better understanding what
virtualization is and to see practical features
through demos is invited to attend. |

Lecture 2 |
Server Virtualization at work |
Luigi Gallerani
Carlos Garcia Fernandez |
|
Description
After the introduction to virtualization in lecture 1, this
second lecture focuses on server virtualization through
practical demos.
Participants will see on a demo how to create a robust,
redundant and high-availability cluster of Virtual Servers.
They will see how to connect this cluster to multiple
virtual networks, how to life migrate a server from one host
to another one and how to manage and monitor a huge number
of virtual servers in a real production environment.
|
|
Audience
Anyone
interested in today's server virtualization possibilities
and in the future trends.
|
