This is a very informative presentation - though it does not go into tech details it shows how much importance a big company like HP is giving to Virtualization . It has its exclusive department on Virtualization & HP Virtualization team's director is present in this presentation & they are presenting this with some of their Customer's experience sharing about their own Virtualization implementations.

HP's Virtualization Class Lessons

Lesson 1: Understand virtualization
Virtualization enables you to create multiple servers that run multiple operating systems on a single computer. Find out how virtualization can help your IT department expand its resources while keeping the budget in check.

Lesson 2: Use VMware ESX Server
VMware ESX Server provides a workable solution to using multiple hardware-based servers. Dive into how to set up an ESX Server, build virtual machines, and connect to resources on your virtual machine.

Lesson 3: Use virtualization management tools
Now that your server and virtual machines are set up, you need to know how to manage them. You can use VMM (Virtual Machine Management) Pack, SMP (Server Migration Pack), and other tools to help you do just that.

Lesson 4: Expand your virtualization options
There are many uses for virtualization, from servers and storage to networking and even software. Learn about your options, and look to HP SMB Services to help you find the right solutions for your business.

With Virtualization you can:
- Minimize new hardware purchases by hosting several virtual servers on one physical server.
- Set up and manage virtual machines quickly and transition them to full use in a fraction of the time it takes to set up physical servers.
- Manage disaster recovery sites using fewer servers than are used at your primary site.
- Consolidate clients on high capacity servers, reducing the cost to maintain and manage them.
