Slide 3

INTRODUCTION Our Product Focus for the next two weeks is Virtualization. More than 90% of mid- and large size businesses have implemented virtualization at some level and the overall market for server virtualization hardware and software has already well surpassed $20 billion, according to various research reports. Virtualization is not an IT trend. It is also not new, but it is new in many organizations as companies of all sizes invest in virtualization technologies to reap its many benefits: energy savings, server and desktop provisioning, reduction in physical servers, increased uptime and availability, better disaster recovery, and the list goes on. The goal of this Product Focus is to make our customers aware that we have the training solution for whichever virtualization platform they choose.
