vSphere 6.0 – What's Needed in this Future Release to Ensure Mission-Critical Applications Can Be Virtualized with Confidence?

The new vSphere 5.0 storage features such as VAAI, Storage DRS, Site Recovery Manager 5 and VASA, highlight the fact that whether on a virtualized or non-virtualized platform, application performance is heavily affected by its underlying storage infrastructure. The silos that once existed between storage and VMware teams are now being challenged as vSphere 5 brings to the forefront the need for a common understanding and integration.

Join Archie Hendryx, Virtual Instruments Senior Solutions Consultant, as he discusses the way to counter such challenges and ensure a successful virtualization initiative that eliminates risk, optimizes performance and enhances business continuity and availability of key applications.

In this webinar, you will learn how to:

Avoid the risk of a potential virtual stall of virtualizing mission critical applications
Gain the most from vSphere 5's new storage related features
Leverage a platform that enables a comprehensive and real-time view of the entire infrastructure
