IT Executive Insights: Managing the Transition to the Virtual Enterprise

Cloud computing, software-defined networks and related technologies are changing how agencies deliver IT services to support their operations and mission.

In nearly every aspect of the enterprise, agencies have the ability to manage their IT infrastructure as a virtual pool of resources, making it possible to quickly deploy or reconfigure those resources to meet evolving demands. Such flexibility is vital when it comes to supporting mobility, big data and other trends that otherwise can tax the performance and manageability of the infrastructure. To date, most agencies have taken a piecemeal approach to virtualization, often starting with virtual desktop or server deployments. However, agencies will realize the full benefits of virtualization–in terms of both improve operations and reduced operating costs–when they take an enterprise-wide approach.

In this event, leading experts from government will discuss how to manage transition to the virtual enterprise, including technology, management and operational concerns.
