Neocleus, the leader in client-hosted virtualization, today announced that that it will present its “Client Virtualization Framework,” a modular software development platform, at the Xen Summit North America, Feb. 25, 2009, at Oracle Headquarters, Redwood City, CA.

Who

Ze’ev Maor is a senior software engineer at Neocleus leading the “Desktop Hypervisor Framework” project. Over the past 12 years he has worked on a varied array of projects including Linux kernel development, control systems and video processing. In his current role he is exploring innovative ways to generically leverage Type 1 virtualization in a client computing environment.

What

Maor will discuss why client virtualization is emerging as a game-changing approach to addressing IT client computing challenges. He will also review how innovative companies are tapping into the enormous potential of virtualizing the endpoint and which use cases are ideal candidates for leveraging this technology.

Maor will overview the reasons why achieving the potential of client-hosted virtualization requires two pioneering innovations: an endpoint-oriented hypervisor and a comprehensive framework to facilitate virtualization-based software development.

Neocleus will demonstrate how its “Client Virtualization Framework,” a modular software development and run-time platform, allows developers to leverage state-of-the-art virtualization technologies while focusing their development efforts on their core businesses.

Where and When

Maor’s presentation will take place at the Xen Summit North America 2009, Wednesday, Feb. 25, 2009 from 9:30 – 10:00 a.m. PST at Oracle Headquarters. Online registration is available at http://www.regonline.com/Checkin.asp?EventId=681795.

Why

Client-hosted virtualization represents a paradigm shift for client computing that will enable companies to balance the need for IT control and end-user flexibility. But in order to accomplish this, technologies must be developed that allow for an ecosystem of innovators to build applications that address the distinct use cases facing dispersed organizations. This will make it possible for companies to stem escalating infrastructure costs by leveraging solutions that meet their specific client computing needs, all while ensuring maximum control and security over distributed clients and providing end users with a flexible, open environment in which to increase productivity.
