VMware Virtualization and Cloud Management: Delivering IT as a Service in the Cloud Era: At VMworld Europe 2011, VMware launched major new additions to its management portfolio. In this keynote, Ramin Sayar, VMware Vice President of Enterprise Management, will introduce the new products and give an overview of their capabilities, as well as provide a strategic roadmap for the VMware management offerings.

Glen O’Donnell, Senior Analyst at Forrester Research, will then explain how managing IT systems was always about monitoring infrastructure and sometimes applications, but the practice is shifting to one centered on business services. He’ll provide lessons and practical actions you can take to become an organization that embraces these changes and becomes a true business innovator.
