Architect Council

You are cordially invited to the exclusive event for Technical Decision Makers and Senior Architects - Microsoft Architect Council! Join us together with fellow architects and peers as we share and exchange ideas on the latest technologies - Cloud Computing and Virtualization. Mark your calendar now!

Cloud Computing
Today there is a shift emerging that we believe will eventually affect virtually every organization from small start-ups to large enterprises - Cloud Computing and Cloud Services. We are starting to see organizations extend compute, storage, and other workloads to the cloud. So what makes the cloud attractive to organizations?

Virtualization
Server virtualization, also known as hardware virtualization, is a hot topic in the IT world due to the potential for serious economic benefits. Server virtualization enables multiple operating systems to run on a single physical machine as virtual machines (VMs). With server virtualization, you can consolidate workloads across multiple underutilized server machines onto a smaller number of machines, thus creation of a more dynamic IT infrastructure.
