Without a doubt, virtualization has changed the landscape of how we design and deploy our modern data centers.  Data Center managers can finally recover valuable floor tile space and reduce cost on power and cooling.  However, even though many companies are able to initially reduce their physical server footprint by moving to more dynamic and agile virtual machines, organizations often find that the convenience of building these virtual machines has resulted in 100% or more increase in the number of these virtual servers, resulting in virtual sprawl.  Any savings you had during the consolidation project are now lost to additional software licenses and administrative overhead.  Join us for an informative webinar event to discuss how HP based discovery technologies, along with mature change management, can help you gain control of your virtual sprawl challenges.

In this unique webinar event, Pepperweed Consulting will discuss the following keys to controlling virtual sprawl:

• Introduction to HP Discovery and Dependency Mapping technology
• Discuss the benefits of discovering your virtual and dynamic data center assets
• Understand the role change management plays in controlling server deployments
• Show how discovery complements a greater business service management strategy for your virtualized IT resouces
