Executive Panel Discussion One: The Virtualization Scenario: 2012 to 2016

Virtualization is an obligatory function—not a single technology, nor simply a set of technologies buried in infrastructure. It also has important ramifications for business use of IT, business itself, and for all aspects of IT, from architecture to development and on into production. Virtualization changes how IT is acquired, implemented, managed and used, and how software is priced and licensed. It means new forms of applications and delivery models, even becoming an enabler of cloud computing. Users will have their own virtualization visions, and build toward it with a constantly updated strategic plan.

The topics that will be covered include:
