October 21th, 2008 - Virtualization for Disaster Recovery. In the beginning, for Intel and other PC-type server designs, the basic rule was one application running on one server.  As hardware improved and software matured, the norm changed to one application running on many servers.  As hardware has continued to improve and software is being componentized, a new norm is to have many services and applications running either on a single server or a fleet of servers.  The key to allowing multiple applications optimized for a variety of specific OS versions to coexist on the same physical server is virtualization of the server.  Join us for lunch on Tuesday, October 21^st to learn about leveraging virtualization for disaster recovery.
