Free Workshop: Competing with VMware vSphere: Understanding the Virtualisation Opportunity with the Microsoft R2 Wave

With the launch of vSphere, VMware have introduced a number of new features and capabilities, yet at the same time, in addition to their Standard and Enterprise versions, they’ve introduced a number of new product SKUs, including the Essentials range, for the SMB, Advanced, and also Enterprise Plus, each with differing features, upgrade paths, and price points.  However, with the upcoming R2 Wave of Microsoft Virtualisation technologies, namely, Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V, Hyper-V Server 2008 R2, System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 R2 and System Center Operations Manager 2007 R2 to name but a few, the opportunity for Partners around the Microsoft virtualisation technologies has never been stronger.  We’re well aware that the majority of VMware Partners, are also Microsoft Partners, so this session aims to provide you with a detailed comparative breakdown of the technologies from the two vendors, so you, the Partner, can go away and articulate the values of both to your customers, and provide them with the solution that fits best.

Join Matt McSpirit, Partner Technology Specialist at Microsoft UK, and Mike Peers, Channel Development Manager at Microsoft UK, at this informal, workshop-style session, which will take an in-depth, discussion-based look at the different SKUs, features, and technologies on either side of the virtualisation fence.  You’ll also get to see some of the Microsoft technologies first hand, with detailed technology demonstrations.
