Interphase Systems, a leading management and technology consulting company with offices in Plymouth Meeting, Pa. and Bedminster, N.J., today announced that it will be hosting Virtualization Exchange 2008, a one day event for IT leaders of any knowledge level. Presentations will range from an introduction to virtualization basics to an opportunity for more advanced virtualization enthusiasts to hear about some of the latest technology topics and tools, including capacity planning, environment management, and business continuity. The event will be held on Friday, Dec. 5^th at the Bridgewater Marriott in Bridgewater, N.J.

The Virtualization Exchange will cover topics ranging from basic server consolidation to desktop virtualization, disaster recovery solutions, and other advanced topics. Attendees can select between two tracks, “Virtualization 101” and “Virtualization 201,” depending on their interests and experience. The Virtualization 101 track will focus on the foundations of virtualization concepts and technologies, while Virtualization 201 sessions will discuss advanced topics and tools.

“Virtualization was recently chosen by Gartner as one of the top 10 strategic technologies for 2009,” said John Biglin, CEO of Interphase Systems, Inc. “As virtualization continues to gain momentum as a strategic solution for improved system performance, reliability, and disaster recovery, we observed a need for an educational event that would benefit both beginners and those already working with the technology. We invite IT departments, business leaders, and anyone interested in learning about the benefits of virtualization to come to our event and take advantage of the expertise that our presenters and our sponsors will be sharing. This event, with its two-track educational sessions and limited number of sponsors, is one of the first of its kind, and we look forward to continuing to help businesses further develop their virtualization strategies.”

Featured sponsors of the event include VMWare, Dell, Exagrid, and others. For more information on the event, or to register, please visit www.vexchange08.com or contact Interphase Systems at 610-276-5500.
