The Datacenter Evolution
Watch senior vice president Hal Stern discuss how the Sun hardware and software virtualization technologies can meet the exploding data demands driven by modern users on the network.
Next-Gen Benefits for a Next-Gen Datacenter
Hardware virtualization has been around for many years, and has allowed servers to be used more efficiently, but today a virtualization layer can be added into the software stack to deliver greater business agility, resilience, and very high availability.
The hyperlayer level of the software stack creates virtualization and abstracts the hardware underneath, enabling server operating environments and applications to behave like files. They can be copied from one virtual machine to another to build a new virtual server dynamically, or to move an existing one. That's important because compute demand loads can vary not just by type of service but as required by geography. Moving a server from one corner of the earth to another can be pretty handy, especially if you need to replace a failed server at the destination.
Save Money with Virtualization
One of the greatest promises of datacenter virtualization is the money it can save your company through resource consolidation and greater efficiencies. Sun put its virtualization technologies to the test at its own datacenter -- and saved more than $10 million. Find out how.

Managing Virtual Datacenters
System administrators need heterogeneous management tools to get the most efficiency, reliability, and agility possible from software virtualization. Just like physical servers, virtual servers need to be managed throughout their lifecycle. Sun xVM Ops Center gives admins the tools they need to manage physical and virtual systems through a heterogeneous, centralized infrastructure.
xVM Ops Center Overview
Systems vice president Steve Wilson explains how Sun's xVM Ops Center can make a datacenter truly dynamic by matching compute load to available resources.
End-to-End Virtualization
Executive vice president John Fowler walks viewers through Sun's virtualization technologies that address each layer of an enterprise infrastructure.
Virtualization for Development
Virtualization technologies can be especially helpful to your development team who may be significantly contributing to server sprawl at your company. One developer might use three boxes: one for development, one for testing, and one for production. With Sun's xVM VirtualBox desktop virtualization technology your developers can create multiple virtual servers and consolidate them onto a single physical server.
Create Your Lab on a Laptop with xVM VirtualBox
Senior product manager Andy Hall demonstrates how he uses xVM VirtualBox to deliver Microsoft Windows applications alongside Sun Solaris apps as well as Linux apps, all on one host platform, his MacBook.
You're Invited! On September 10, 2008, Sun Microsystems will turn the virtualization world upside down with the first freely available open source virtualization portfolio. And you're invited to view the live event, right here at Sun.com. Learn More
