Peak 10 Holds "Virtualization for Business" Webcast

July 3, 2007; 07:59 AM

CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Peak 10, the leading independent data center operator and managed services provider in the United States, hosted the live webcast "Virtualization for Business: Concept, Use and Benefits" on June 28. The webcast detailed what virtualization is, what it does, and how it helps businesses effectively manage their IT infrastructure with security and scalability.

Monty Blight, vice president of managed services for Peak 10, led the discussion along with Terry Morris of Peak 10 and Brent Adam of Yorel Integrated Solutions, Inc. They educated participants on why companies are using virtualization, such as efficiency, ROI, high-availability and business continuity. They focused specifically on server virtualization, which allows a company to make better use of its physical server capabilities by distributing computing power across multiple virtual servers. 

“Virtualization just makes so much sense, from both a business and technical perspective, that it has to be considered,” said Blight. “Virtual machines are managed in the same manner as physical servers but can be provisioned more quickly, clustered more easily, and moved around so that maintenance windows are effectively eliminated.”

This webcast is the first in a series on the popular topic of virtualization.  Future webcasts will dig deeper into the technology and will review case studies of how businesses are currently utilizing virtualization.  To view an archived version of this webcast, please visit www.peak10.com.
