Virtualization

Gartner estimates that 90 percent of Fortune 1000 companies will use virtualization by 2008. As higher education IT organizations adopt this technology, a variety of strategic decisions must be applied to the challenges of P2V—transitioning from physical to virtual—across the enterprise.

In this 11 minute podcast, we feature an interview with Robert J. Lowden, Director of University Information Systems at Indiana University. His presentation at the EDUCAUSE 2007 Enterprise Conference is entitled, "Virtualization Across the Enterprise". In this interview, Mr. Lowden shares experiences, challenges, and strategies of implementing a virtual approach to storage and processing.
