Virtual Iron Webcast: Server Virtualization for the Rest of Us -- A Case Study

Market Wire, October, 2007

Virtual Iron Software ( www.virtualiron.com ), a provider of server virtualization and virtual infrastructure management software solutions, will host a Webcast today, Thursday, October 25th featuring a case study on Hobsons EMT, a provider of customizable Web-based software solutions designed to improve the efficiency of the modern college admissions office. The Webcast will illustrate how Hobsons, and organizations of all sizes, can take advantage of the significant benefits of enterprise-class server virtualization.

While server virtualization promises great advantages and ROI, to date, available solutions have been too expensive and too complex, especially for organizations with tight budgets and limited staff. Today, with the help of emerging industry standards and open source technologies, all organizations have affordable access to enterprise-class virtualization and management capabilities. Attendees will hear from Patrick McFadin, Director of Engineering at Hobson's EMT , about how his company is leveraging virtualization to:

--  Improve the utilization of its x86 systems and hardware
--  Accelerate its development and test cycles
--  Provision new systems in minutes instead of hours
--  Reduce its power, cooling and data center space requirements:
--  Conduct system maintenance without disrupting running systems
--  Support business continuity and disaster recovery scenarios with much
    less hardware
--  Improve the overall management and efficiency of its IT infrastructure
