The Move to Virtualization: Nemertes' Initial Findings
Organizations are moving to virtualization with great gusto! Older hardware is flying out of the racks and being replaced by more powerful, yet more efficient hardware hosting tens of servers on a single physical box. Environmental footprints are shrinking and initial ROI's look promising. But, what's the catch? Are there challenges to virtualization that require attention beyond a simple ROI? Where are organizations in their virtualization efforts?

The Productive Distributed Enterprise: Building an Effective Branch Infrastructure
Workers in a virtual or branch office must be able to exchange ideas, share documents, and manage projects across the globe, in real or near-real time, and their location should be transparent to those they are communicating with. During this webinar we'll discuss findings from the Nemertes benchmark Unified Communications and Collaboration that look at the evolution and future of branch locations and virtual workers. We'll discuss considerations for internal and outsourced branch management and what factors determine sites that use those services. We’ll also explore the needs of the virtual worker, discussing the types of applications required to be successful at their jobs.

Internet Capacity and Demand
In November 2007, Nemertes Research published a ground breaking study
on Internet capacity and demand, "The Internet Singularity Delayed: Why
Limits in Internet Capacity Will Stifle Innovation on the Web." The
study, which concluded that access limitations would begin to retard
innovation on the Internet beginning in 2010, stirred a great deal of
controversy and concern.
Nemertes is preparing to refresh this study in 2008. In this webinar,
Mike Jude and Ted Ritter, two of the principal researchers on the
study, will discuss:

Unified Communications and Collaboration: Building the VOIP Business Case
VOIP deployments continue to grow, even as organizations struggle with building a business case that provides demonstrable return on investment. During this webinar we'll discuss findings from the Nemertes benchmark Unified Communications and Collaboration to help you quantitatively assess the benefits of VOIP including impact on network and infrastructure costs. We'll discuss investment considerations for VOIP management, and we'll discuss the impact of vendor selection and architecture based on data compiled via in-depth interviews with over 115 end-user organizations.

Virtualization Security Panel
As organizations deploy virtualization (server, desktop, application,
network and storage) the security arms-race is moving from the physical
world to the virtual world. Unfortunately, most enterprises are
securing their virtualized systems just as they do their physical
servers and desktops. This is a reasonable first step, especially if
they rely heavily on host-based mesaures. However, to exploit
virtualization to its fullest - enabling IT agility - enterprise
security teams will have to embrace security tools that can fully cope
with servers or desktops that talk to each other in a virtual network,
and that may move from place to place, or appear or disappear in an
instant.
Moderated by Andreas M. Antonopoulos, SVP and Founding Partner at
Nemertes Research. A panel of leading professionals will discuss the
challenges and opportunities of security in a virtualized environment.
Moderator: Andreas M. Antonopoulos
Panelists:
Allwyn Squeira - BlueLane
Nand Mulchandani - VMware, Inc.
Vimal Solanki - McAfee

Unified Communications and Mobility: The Business Value of Extending the Office to the Mobile Worker
Unified communications technology provides a consistent calling
experience regardless of the device being used. This can include
extending advanced calling features, typically only available on the
desktop, to cell phones and can allow for a single number to access
both a user's desk phone as well as cell phone. Yet, the business case
for acquiring this technology has always been somewhat murky. In this
webinar, Nemertes analyst Mike Jude examines the use of unified
communications technology to enable mobile applications and work and
will provide examples of instances where unified communications
combined with mobility applications improved productivity and reduced
costs.

Virtualization Security 101: Virtual Insecurity = Real Problems
As organizations deploy virtualization (server, desktop, application, network and storage) the security arms-race is moving from the physical world to the virtual world. Unfortunately, most enterprises are securing their virtualized systems just as they do their physical servers and desktops. This is a reasonable first step, especially if they rely heavily on host-based measures. However, to exploit virtualization to its fullest - enabling IT agility - enterprise security teams will have to embrace security tools that can fully cope with servers or desktops that talk to each other in a virtual network, and that may move from place to place, or appear or disappear in an instant.
Based on Nemertes Research groundbreaking Virtualization Security Market Analysis, this webinar defines the components of a virtual infrastructure, the key attack vectors and the best practices and solutions available to defend against these attacks.
