Virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) represents the future of enterprise desktop computing and brings with it the detachment of OSs and applications from physical endpoints—a compelling trend that promises greater flexibility, scalability, cost savings and security benefits. The movement also represents radical, and possibly painful, changes in market dynamics for providers of endpoint hardware, software and services.
Yankee Group analysts Phil Hochmuth and Zeus Kerravala dissect the future of VDI and discuss what the technology has to offer enterprises today.
Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) is still a relatively new technology. Most people are either unaware or have only a brief idea about this emerging technology. This Slide share will provide your 12 points which you must know before implementing VDI Technology in your business.
As companies look to further leverage the benefits of virtualization, they are now looking at virtualization for the desktop. However, the adoption of virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) presents a unique set of challenges that need to be overcome in order to make VDI adoption a success.
The Novell VDI solution offers a unique approach to virtualizing the desktop, as well as the management of that environment. Come and learn about this solution with its unique focus on identity, security and management for both the user and the infrastructure.

Cloud Bursting 101: What to do When Cloud Computing Demand Exceeds CapacityAvere Systems
Slides from live webinar hosted on February 16, 2017.
Deploying applications locally and bursting them to the cloud for compute may seem difficult, especially when working with high-performance, critical information. However, using cloudbursts to offset peaks in demand can bring big benefits and kudos from organizational leaders always looking to do more with less.
After this short webinar, you’ll be ready to:
- Explain what cloud bursting is and what workloads it is best for
- Identify efficiencies in applying cloud bursting to high-performance applications
- Understand how cloud computing services access your data and consume it during burst cycles
- Share three real-world use cases of companies leveraging cloud bursting for measurable efficiencies
- Have seen a demonstration of how it works
Presenters will build an actionable framework in just thirty minutes and then take questions.

This is the first post in my series about the new features in Windows Server 2008 R2. As in my series about the new features of Windows 7, I will update the articles when I learn about new features. I will discuss some of the new features in more detail soon. Essentially, the term "virtualization" covers three different technologies in Windows Server 2008 R2: Server Virtualization, Desktop Virtualization, and Presentation Virtualization. Server Virtualization is based on Hyper-V 2.0, which will get quite a few interesting new features. The virtualization technology ehind Desktop virtualization, i.e., Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI), is also Hyper-V. This is probably the most important new feature in Windows Server 2008 R2. Presentation Virtualization is nothing but the good old Terminal Server. Technically, I find it a bit odd to use the term "virtualization" in this context, but from a marketer's point of view, it probably makes a lot of sense. Note that Microsoft renamed the "Terminal Services" as "Remote Desktop Services" in Windows Server 2008 R2.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
