Embotics Customer AMD to Present on Controlling Virtual Sprawl By VSM News Staff published: Wednesday, February 20 2008
OTTAWA,
February 20,
2008 - Embotics, the
Virtualization Lifecycle Management™ Company, today announced that its customer
Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) is presenting their control architecture for virtual
machines at VMworld Europe 2008 in Cannes, France on Thursday, February 28 at
2:15 p.m. CET. William Langford, server and storage architect at
AMD, will discuss the control challenges that arise when
moving beyond server consolidation, and how AMD is resolving those issues by using Embotics’
V-Commander.
What
Langford will illustrate his recent experience with
AMD’s server consolidation project and adapting
virtualization into a data center architecture. Langford is an 18-year veteran of the
technology industry with experience in server administration and project
management. He oversaw the initial
AMD server consolidation project which reduced 117 physical
servers down to seven VMware ESX servers, running VI3 Enterprise. Since then AMD’s virtual machine (VM) population has almost tripled to
320 VMs, and the company is implementing virtualization-based disaster recovery
architectures. Langford is now
incorporating virtualization into data center control and management
systems.
Why
As
organizations begin implementing virtualization, the challenge of controlling
and managing virtual infrastructures is quickly rising as a top priority. As they move beyond server
consolidation, IT departments must respond to the control issues that arise by
installing technologies to address them. Enterprises need a different approach to
management and control when adapting server virtualization from a consolidation
project to a data center architecture – especially when it comes to preventing
VM sprawl.
