The Virtualization of IT Operations
Cameron Haight, Conference Co-Chair & Research VP, Gartner
The State of Your IT Infrastructure Has Never Been More Critical!
The impact of emerging technologies such as virtualization and service-oriented architectures, new challenges with the growing consumerization of IT, Green IT and the need for planning for a much broader array of business contingencies will have dramatic consequences for most IT organizations and especially those struggling to just keep the lights on. The ramifications to IT may be profound in an environment where our businesses are not only demanding improved operational efficiency, but also speed to more rapidly adjust to changing market dynamics.
We're designing the inaugural Gartner IT Infrastructure, Operations & Management Summit to help IT organizations prepare for not only today's continuing demands but also tomorrow's emerging requirements. Specifically, we've developed tracks designed to give you the insight and analysis that will offer you guidance in terms of operational best practices (including planning for future disaster recovery scenarios), help you examine the impact of pervasive virtualization and to look at how you can strategize for and manage technologies that are beginning to find their way into the IT infrastructure.
- What is the future of virtualization technologies and how will they impact your business?
- How can you prepare for both traditional business continuity scenarios as well as the impact of events such as future pandemics?
- What IT can do to prepare for the increasing introduction of consumer-style technologies such as PDAs, instant messaging, Web 2.0 applications and social networking services?
- How will IT Modernization and legacy transformation affect your existing infrastructure and what vendors should you partner with?
- How will emerging Storage technologies help organizations cope with explosive storage demand?
- What are the best practices for managing, securing, backing up and archiving storage resources?
- How can users consolidate and virtualize their server and storage technologies without creating new problems down the road?
- How will the traditional role of management technology evolve as the underlying infrastructure gets "smarter?"
- How can you prepare for not only growing power and cooling demands, but also the future "greening" of IT?
- What will be the shape of the future IT organization to meet the changing demands of business and the continued evolution of technology?
- What are best practices in server and storage consolidation projects?
- How will alternatives such as open source management (OSM) or software-as-a-service (SaaS) become acceptable mechanisms for management delivery?
An opportunity for structured discussions with your peers, moderated by Gartner analysts*.
