Virtualisation - Better, Cheaper, Greener?

This free event forms part of a Scottish Funding Council-supported ICT Carbon and Energy Management Programme project which is being managed by EAUC Scotland. The project has identified virtualisation as a key area of interest for its institutional partners, which include Edinburgh Napier University.

Edinburgh Napier has already made great progress in virtualising a significant number of servers, and is now both extending this, and introducing server powerdown to gain the full energy and environmental benefits from its use. Scott Walkingshaw, Lead IT Developer (Servers), David Pentland, Lead IT Developer (Desktop), and colleagues, will share their experiences/challenges and future plans in this area at an interactive workshop, which will also have contributions from other universities and colleges.

There are only 25 places at the event so it is likely to fill quickly. There is no charge, but cancellations after 1200 on 26th October will be charged at £100 per place. Please book by visiting www.eventlink.org.uk.
