Virtualization Victory: Getting the Biggest Bang for Your Buck Webinar

Though cloud computing and data center consolidation may be the final destination for government IT, as both an intermediate and alternative step, server virtualization has proven its ability to deliver significant cost reduction – $23 billion by 2015. Reducing IT operating costs is often a primary goal in virtualizing, but, realizing and maximizing cost savings is not always easy – funding, legacy application migration, security, and management support are all potential barriers. 

A follow up to MeriTalk's "Virtualization Vacuum: The 2012 Government Virtualization Study", the Virtualization Victory Webinar will explore how agencies can overcome remaining barriers to virtualization initiatives and amplify the savings achieved through virtualization. At a time when every dollar counts, we will:

• Address how to expand virtualization implementation to reduce IT costs
• Explore how to manage the business case when virtualization savings take one year or more to materialize

Featured speakers include:

• Cindy Cassil, Director, Systems Integration Office, U.S. Department of State
• Susie Adams, Chief Technology Officer, Microsoft Federal
• Steve O'Keeffe, Founder, MeriTalk [Moderator]

Join us as we discuss the results of the study as well as how to take virtualization cost savings to the next level and deliver a compelling, multi-year business case.
