    The benefits of virtualization in the datacenter are becoming well-known: Server consolidation, capabilities to deploy more applications and virtual machines on a single server, cost savings, power savings. Do these benefits encompass open source virtualization as well? Are there additional benefits of open source virtualization that would justify a serious evaluation against current solutions on the market today? Join Ziff Davis Enterprises for this panel on pairing server virtualization and open source technologies to learn more about how datacenter IT managers can achieve lower TCO, gain flexibility in a mixed-source environment, and increase data center efficiencies. The panel includes an analyst's overview on open source alternatives for virtualization, a case study by an integrator on implementation, and explores:
    • Business and technical trends in virtualization
    • TCO of open source and proprietary server virtualization options
    • Technical considerations for consolidating on open source VMs
    • Best practices and challenges in implementation
    • Benefits and limitations of open source virtualization
