Hi, I'm Jim Schwartz, a director of virtualization solutions marketing in Redmond.
A great example of why companies are adopting virtualization and the resulting benefits can be seen in Texas, at the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frisco,_Texas . The city, one of the fastest growing in America, needed to scale a siloed IT infrastructure to accommodate data growth of 200-300% year.
Check out this http://blogs.netapp.com/msenviro/2009/11/city-in-texas-saves-big-with-hyper-v-netapp.html to learn how the City’s move toward virtualization resulted in substantial savings and maximized uptime for Exchange, SharePoint, and other apps.
Also don’t miss the Microsoft and NetApp live webcast on Thursday, December 3 at 11am Pacific/2pm Eastern: http://communicate.netapp.com/forms/verify?seminarID=20091203WL&REF_SOURCE=microsoft_blogs . City of Frisco Enterprise Technology Manager Tim Yarbrough will join the discussion to talk about his environment and Windows Server 2008 R2 upgrade. You will have the opportunity to submit live questions to Microsoft and NetApp experts during the webcast.
Thanks,
Jim
