Fortisphere to Present at Interop Las Vegas 2009

Fortisphere, Inc., a leading provider of virtualization management software, today announced that Principal Founder and Chief Technology Officer John Suit will present in the panel discussion, “Controlling Virtual Server Sprawl,” at Interop Las Vegas 2009 on Tuesday, May 19. In this session, Suit will explain how to effectively manage virtual server growth and more efficiently use existing computing resources.

It now takes just minutes to provision a server. This provides IT with greater agility to respond to new requests, but it has also created a new problem called virtual server sprawl. In this session, moderated by FOCUS Research Director Anne Skamarock, Suit will join a panel of virtualization experts to discuss the tools and techniques for avoiding and managing server sprawl.
