Eliminating the Pitfalls: Steps to Virtualization in Government

Presented by FedInsider, WTOP, and Federal News Radio 1500 AM, this complimentary one-hour video training webinar will explore how agencies are tackling the pitfalls inherent in virtualization to fulfill Administration initiatives like cloud adoption, data center consolidation, .greening of I.T., and telework.

Virtualization is at the heart of these programs, and government’s failure rate has been high due to unwieldy, expensive and complicated infrastructure. The ramp-up of virtualization efforts in government requires agencies to take into account infrastructure-related challenges such as scalability, complexity, cost, performance and more. And more agencies are rolling out virtualization solutions that allow Bring-Your-Own-Device users to stay productive no matter where, or how, they work.

*Training Certificates will be e-mailed to attendees after the event.

Define a hyper-converged architecture and detail its impact on datacenter space requirements.
Delineate ways to reduce the ecological impact for a “greener” datacenter.
Review funding mechanisms for moving legacy systems to a virtualized environment.
Detail how the growth of cloud-based applications has spurred government progress in moving to virtualized platform.
