Data center virtualization solution provider Egenera (egenera.com) announced on November 8, 2007 that along with Intel (intel.com) it is sponsoring an upcoming Webinar focused on implementing data center virtualization, powered by Egenera systems and based on Intel Xeon processors, to drive operational excellence. The Webinar will take place on November 14 at 12:00 EST.

Dee Cantrell, the CIO of Emory Healthcare (emoryhealthcare.org), will be headlining the Webinar and will discuss how she and her team were able to reduce the time and cost associated with managing IT infrastructure resources, while meeting the increased demand for critical applications associated with healthcare delivery, through data center virtualization.

Cantrell will talk about how the deployment enabled Emory Healthcare to minimize cost and personnel support requirements, reduce the cost and effort for technology rollover, create an affordable, scalable and highly available IT infrastructure, address server, storage and desktop requirements and provide secure access under HIPAA privacy and security regulations.

Webinar participants will also hear from Susan Davis from Egenera and Jake Smith from Intel on how data center virtualization enables dramatic reduction in infrastructure cost and complexity while making the data center more responsive, reliable and agile.
