March's topic: "Server Consolidation through Virtualization"

Guest Speaker: Ken Wilson and Mike Ransom, Newmarket International
will be talking about how they were able to virtualize 76 servers.
This will be all real-world, including their architecture pros/cons,
migrations hits/misses, etc.  We have talked about virtual servers
alot before and now its great to have a local company sharing with
us their real word experiences. Dan Sullivan from VMWare will also
be onsite to answer questions.

I highly encourage you all to attend, this is a rare opportunity to
hear one of our neighbors talk about how they consolidated over 75
servers.
Please help us get the word out - invite your friends, neighbors,
colleagues, customers, etc.  The continued success of Sea-Tug and

prize will be reserved for the attendee who brings the most 'first-timers'
