Tideway Systems and Forrester Research Examine Service Management Challenges By VSM News Staff published: Thursday, February 14 2008
Joint webinar addresses challenges within a virtualized environment
NEW YORK and LONDON - February 14, 2008 -- Tideway
Systems, one of the fastest growing providers of IT automation
software, will be hosting a webinar exploring the challenges of service
management in a virtualized environment in collaboration with Forrester
Research, an independent technology and market research company that
provides pragmatic and forward-thinking advice to global leaders in
business and technology.
While
virtualization can improve data center efficiency, the proliferation of
virtual machines can often grow out of control and lead to “virtual
sprawl.” The dependencies between business applications, virtual
machines and the supporting infrastructure can become too complex to
manage efficiently. As a result, administration costs rise, SLAs are
jeopardized and some of the problems virtualization was intended to
solve are exacerbated.
Forrester Principal Analyst Peter O’Neill and Tideway
Vice President of Product Marketing Kosten Metreweli will focus on the
added complexity of virtual machine (VM) management in a one-hour
webinar that will explore how enterprises can:
- Implement continuous controls to manage VM sprawl
- Understand and manage virtualization impact on software licensing
- Reduce the risk of outages caused by changes to VMs
- Analyze the business impact of changes in multi-tiered applications
The webinar will take place on Tuesday, February 19, 2008 at 11:00 am EST, 4:00 pm GMT.
Registration for the event is free and can be completed here.
