Virtualize your Tier-1 Applications Today!

On Demand

Virtualization platforms like VMware vSphere and Microsoft Hyper-V provide performance flexibility and availability that physical environments just can’t match. However, for most organizations, Tier-1 applications are the last to be virtualized.

Instead, they start with their less critical Tier-2 applications (e.g., file and print serving applications) and slowly work up from there. Some businesses are also hesitant to virtualize their business-critical applications altogether due to some misconceptions regarding virtualization, such as:

  • It can’t deliver the performance

  • It’s too complex, difficult to manage and expensive

  • It introduces a single point of failure

In this webinar, Chris Henley and Michael Otey will put to rest some of the most common arguments for not virtualizing your Tier-1 applications.

Chris and Michael will dive in and show how virtualization can address these common concerns and provide some best practices for virtualizing your business-critical applications.
