Fortisphere CTO and Principal Founder John Suit to Join Panel Discussion on
Controlling Virtual Server Sprawl
LAS VEGAS--(Business Wire)--
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.
