Title: Accelerating Cloud Adoption Using Virtualization Management Standards

Abstract: Virtualization technology enables IT personnel to respond to business needs more rapidly with lower cost and improved operational efficiencies. At the same time, interoperability and portability of applications are key for organizations that have purchased virtualization platforms from more than one vendor or want to take advantage of cloud service offerings.

In this session we will discuss how existing DMTF standards enables workload interoperability across different virtualization technologies and enable unified management of such environments.  We will also discuss DMTF's Open Cloud Standards Incubator and explain how DMTF virtualization standards can be utilized to achieve interoperability between private clouds within enterprises and hosted or public cloud providers.
