SGI and VMware are pleased to bring you a technology focused briefing on Virtualisation
and Virtual Desktop Infrastructure.
We invite you to join technical consultants
from both SGI and VMware to walk you through VMware’s Virtualisation solutions,
in particular VDI. This session is aimed to give you an informed view of the benefits
that virtualising server and desktop platforms can bring to your organisation.
Whether you’re focused on reducing
overall IT operational costs, consolidating distributed server and desktop resources
or consolidating under utilised systems, you will have an open forum to raise business
specific questions to our qualified panel of technical specialists from VMware and
SGI. Alternatively, take advantage of the gathered technical knowledge and organise
