Virtualization Conference Europe 2008: ProFoss pushes "open talk" in your face!




Profoss is organising events to spread objective information about professional uses of Free and Open Source based solutions, and is looking for speakers for its next event about virtualisation, taking place in Brussels on 22nd and 23rd january.

If you have deployed a Free or Open Source virtualisation technology in a demanding professional environment, if you're a services company with extended expertise with virtualisation, or if you have developed a virtualisation software under an open source license, or built a product based on open source technology, and want to share your experience with your peers, please don't hesitate to submit your proposal as described below.

Talks should not be commercial shows, but bring interesting information for professional ICT users, based on real world experience. Here is an non-exhaustive list of possible subjects: introduction to virtualisation; deployment experiences with Xen, KVM, VirtualBox, Linux vserver, Solaris Zones, Virtuozzo/OpenVZ; support for virtualisation in hardware (eg processors); how to manage the deployment of a virtualisation technology in a company, without falling in the trap of over-virtualisation; the futur of virtualisation; virtualisation on the desktop; security concerns with virtualisation technologies; impact of virtualisation on the enterprise infrastructure, eg network; virtualisation, only for the OS? ; etc.....

Virtualization: GlassHouse hopes to cash in with its IPO!

GlassHouse Technologies Inc. on Tuesday registered to raise as much as $100 million in an initial public offering that, despite the company's financial losses, could prove a hit with investors drawn to its focus on "virtualization" technology. The Framingham, Mass., company offers consulting services for companies that use virtualization software to improve the performance of corporate servers and cut costs in their data centers. GlassHouse also provides Internet-based data storage. "Software-as-a-service," or SaaS, companies and vendors of virtualization products have proved popular among investors in recent years as corporate customers seek alternatives to conventional packaged software. GlassHouse, with roots in both sectors, will test the strength of that interest, said Peter Falvey, managing director with Boston investment bank Revolution Partners.
