Upcoming Virtualization Launch

Hey, in case you haven't seen this, wanted to flag for you info on the upcoming Virtualization launch. The official blurbage:

Virtualization is one of the largest growth opportunities for Microsoft in the next five years. Nearly all of our customers are currently using or evaluating server virtualization within their IT infrastructure. IDC reports that at least three out of four enterprise customers are deploying virtualization somewhere in their organizations and expect that nearly 50% of the servers they intend to purchase over the next 12 months will be virtualized. On September 8, 2008 in Bellevue Washington, Microsoft will host 1,000 IT customers and press at the Global Virtualization Launch.

Look over here for the collected resources on Microsoft's virtualization story. Our angle over here in System Center Land is the upcoming release of Virtual Machine Manager 2008 (announcements, new content, etc. will be available soon).

About davemorehouse

Born in Minnesota and reared in Alaska, Dave went on to college in Claremont, California and grad school at UW in Seattle. After a stint yodeling in the Swiss Alps (and, incidentally, organizing biotech events), he found himself back in Seattle, getting involved in tech just as the Great Internet Bubble burst, coming to Microsoft in 2000 to work on the Windows 2000 Web team. Since then, he’s had various stints at Microsoft.com, including posts in Web publishing and site management, and has also spent a great deal of time and energy focused on the ins-and-outs of online communities and leveraging the new technologies that are emerging to support them. Now in System Center Marketing and applying his Web and communities experience to the priorities of an actual Microsoft business group, Dave looks forward to deepening his relationships with customers wherever they choose to be active on the Web and off, and drive toward a better, more integrated set of tools and resources to support the diverse needs of the community.
