(June 23, 2008) - The Expo Floor of the 3rd International Virtualization Conference & Expo visited by more qualified delegates than any Garther event which took place during for the past two years

Any chief information officer concerned with computer system reliability and application availability in the competitive financial markets is thinking one of two things: either make failure impossible, or make recovery very fast. Thanks to virtualization, the trend is shifting toward fast recovery. Wall Street has a vested interest in eradicating downtime and achieving near-perfect uptime - a.k.a. "high-availability" (HA).

Virtualization makes it possible to achieve the long sought-after "five nines" - 99.999 per cent up and working to fast-emergingspecification. And companies like Egenera, whose founder Vern Brownell was formerly CIO of Goldman Sachs, are leading the way in bringing virtualization to Wall Street, alongside VMware and Citrix and all the other companies who are now jostling for market share in the race toward serious uptime for the hyper-competitive, IT-intense financial markets.
