August 6-9, 2007 - San Francisco
LinuxWorld Conference & Expo® San Francisco, the largest and most comprehensive event that focuses exclusively Linux and open source, is scheduled to take place August 6-9, 2007 at the Moscone Center.
Virtualization is moving into the mainstream in the data center, bringing with it a new set of challenges in securely deploying and managing a virtual infrastructure. LinuxWorld explores both open source virtualization and running Linux in a virtualized environment. Virtualization holds the promise of increasing scalability, reliability, performance, utilization and manageability, as well as reducing overall costs in the data center. But how does today’s IT professional migrate to a virtual environment that can be both secure and well managed? LinuxWorld addresses these challenges head-on with sessions covering when and how to deploy, interoperability, management strategies, security and more, arming attendees with information on today's virtualization solutions while preparing them for the next generation of technology.
