Embotics Corporation, a
pioneer in virtualization and private cloud management, today announced a series
of free webinars designed to help enterprises progress along the virtualization
path to private cloud deployment. The series, “Journey to the Cloud,” includes
16 short webinars targeted toward four stages of virtualization adoption. In
recognition of the challenge of reaching the private cloud and the need for a
trusted guide along the way, Embotics has created a contest to accompany the
webinar series. The winner will receive a trip to Mount Everest Base Camp in
Nepal, the ultimate destination for viewing the clouds.
Beginning Wednesday, May 11, 2011 at 1:00 p.m. ET, the
webinar series will feature four phases, each aimed at participants’ level of
virtualization adoption. Each phase will include four 15-minute webinars
highlighting the key issues enterprises face at that particular stage of the
journey toward the private cloud, and will include strategies for overcoming
obstacles. The series includes:
- Phase I: “Getting ready for
the journey – Acclimation,” starting Wednesday, May 11, 2011
- Phase II: “Gearing up –
Consolidation,” starting Wednesday, June 8, 2011
- Phase III: “No turning back
– Transformational,” starting Wednesday, July 6, 2011
- Phase IV: “Reaching the
summit – Optimized Cloud Delivery,” starting Wednesday, August 3,
2011
“The maturity of an organization’s virtualization
infrastructure has a direct correlation with its readiness to delivery
on-demand, cloud based services,” said Jason Cowie, vice president of product
management at Embotics. “Too many enterprises have stalled out due to lack of
standardized processes, governance, automation and management. However, with
guidance, they can quickly reach the summit on their journey to the cloud and
begin capturing the savings and agility that virtualization
promises.”
For every webinar participants attend, they will earn one
ballot toward the grand prize trip to Mount Everest Base Camp. Additional
ballots will be awarded for activities such as following Embotics on Twitter (using the
hashtag #EmboticsCloud and @EmboticsCorp handle), providing a video testimonial
of V-Commander, writing a guest blog,
completing a survey and more. For more details about the contest, the webinars
