CNet yesterday ran a helpful FAQ on virtualization technologies covering what it is, why it’s catching on now, and who are the players in the virtual arena. The article is a handy primer on the technology that is gaining significant steam in IT these days.

If that whets your appetite, we do a little roadshow here at SAGE called “Exploring the Virtual Computing Frontier” on virtualization technologies going mainstream.  The roadshow is going to the Mid-Atlantic Chapter of ILTA this Wednesday, April 25 in downtown Washington, DC. Our uber-engineer Doug Daniel provides a run down of the technology and delves into the costs and benefits, addressing the often touted myth of large cost savings. Based on his experience, Doug will also share the pitfalls to avoid when going virtual, and where virtual environments are heading in the near future.

The seminar is open to ILTA members and the general public. Sign up on ILTA’s web site. You even get a free lunch!
