THE WAY YOU NEED IT

USER WORKSPACE MANAGEMENT

Is Virtualization part of your corporate desktop strategy?

RES PowerFuse

Successful desktop virtualization reduces the high cost of ownership and security risks of physical PCs and reduce desk desktop management through standardization.

However, these benefits can only be realized if you offer your end-users nothing less than the physical PC experience they have been used to. — This is why you need User Workspace Management!

The world leading user workspace management solution to the enterprise, RES PowerFuse enables IT professionals to dynamically compose and manage a personalized and secure workspace for each and every user - separately from the user’s underlying virtual desktop. This greatly simplifies IT administration, ensures compliance, and saves money.

03VIRTUALISATION Executive Summit

09-10 November 2009: Grand Hotel Huis ter Duin, Noordwijk aan Zee

Dear Colleague,

On behalf of Tech:Touchstone Events it is our pleasure to welcome you to the Virtualisation

Executive Summit at the prestigious Grand Hotel Huis ter Duin, Noordwijk aan Zee.

As IT departments are increasingly being asked to do more with less, virtualisation technologies

offer a direct and tangible means of achieving operational efficiency and cost saving objectives

by aggregating disparate computing resources into shareable pools.

According to industry analysts, virtualisation will be the single most important technology for

IT departments by 2010 and the highest-impact trend changing infrastructure and operations

through 2012.

Over the next two days, the Virtualisation Executive Summit will connect senior IT Executives

who are committed to developing virtualisation strategies with industry peers, leading solution

providers and industry analysts in a high impact networking and learning environment where

the priority is to create shortlists of strategy and potential partners – in so doing saving you

many weeks of research, sourcing and relationship building!

We hope you enjoy the next couple of days, gain valuable knowledge and develop productive

relationships and look forward to welcoming you to future Tech:Touchstone events!

Kind regards

Simeon Turner & Jim Pierce
