Data center management: Virtualization

Paul Roche

In this CIO videocast, Roche tells editor Ellen O'Brien about how he departed from the traditional midmarket data center infrastructure -- a server for every application -- and instead embarked on a virtualization strategy. View this videocast to get Roche's perspective on virtualization and the path he took to get there, including:

  • Power and cooling costs.
  • Budgeting.
  • Project management.
  • Vendor selection.
  • Application performance.
  • Staffing.
  • Change management.
  • And other data center management challenges.
