Session Name: Virtualizing Your World
Session Number: 1003
Location: Mendenhall
Day and Time: Tuesday, 9:30 - 10:15 am
Format: Presentation
Topic: Systems, Networking and Firewalls
Level: Introductory

Session Abstract:

Increasingly, IT staff are being asked to provide more services, faster implementations, and continuous up-time, all with limited staff and budgets. Converting traditional physical servers to virtual servers can enable systems administrators to meet these needs without losing their sanity, and even to provide new services.
In this session, we examine the traditional server approach, the pros and cons of multi-use and single-use server structures. Then we compare the benefits of virtualization with VMWare, what its advantages are. We also look at the downside of virtual environments, the caveats of converting. Finally, we will look at the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences at UGA's conversion to VMWare, our experience with the conversion, and tips for others thinking about converting.


Led By: Diana Williams, Systems Administrator, UGA College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences
