		Ravi Kagalavadi
		Systems Engineer, VMware 

The presentation will cover the various product offerings from VMware,
focusing on ESX Server, VirtualCenter and P2V -- Physical machine to
Virtual machine migration.

VirtualCenter provides a central management, monitoring, automation and
security for ESX, GSX and virtual machines. We simplify the provisioning
of new servers. We create master templates (golden images -- base O/S,
service packs, hot fixes) and deploy new servers and clone servers from
templates. Using our VMotion technology, we can move live running
virtual machines from one ESX server to another; there is no
interruption in virtual machine server downtime.
