Event Overview:
VMware products are one of the industry's leading virtual infrastructure
software for partitioning, consolidating, and managing servers in
mission-critical environments. Decoupling application workloads from the
physical hardware increases flexibility, simplifies deployment, reduces
cost, and improves asset utilization.

Storage area networks (SAN) complement server virtualization. However,
challenges can arise around flexibility and simplicity of the
consolidated infrastructure due to the potentially complex and expensive
nature of certain SAN deployments. To realize the full benefits of
virtualized server environments, SAN-based storage with automatic load
balancing and that is flexible and easy to manage is required.
Intelligent, iSCSI-based storage is a natural choice to enhance your
virtualized environment.

In addition, you will hear firsthand the experience of deploying these
solutions from a real world customer, Steve Meckling, IT manager at
Shiloh Industries. Shiloh Industries is a leading manufacturer and
supplier to the automotive industry headquartered in Ohio and operating
in 12 locations throughout North America. Steve will review how they
have improved their IT environment by implementing a virtualized
strategy using VMware and iSCSI.
