Call For Papers: SAP Virtualization Week 2009 - April 20-23, SAP Co-Innovation Lab, Palo Alto, CA

jorad — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 01:16:06 GMT

The call for papers is now out for the upcoming SAP Virtualization Week 2009, taking place April 20-23 in the SAP Co-Innovation Lab in Palo Alto, CA. This is the third event of its kind, and the predecessors in 2007 and 2008 were great successes. It is a great opportunity to learn about other customers who have virtualized their SAP systems, to share and discuss your own experiences, to meet with partners and vendors providing solutions in the SAP virtualization space, and/or simply to see what is new in this area.

Needless to say, VMware will have a strong presence.

The deadline for submissions is December 31, 2008, and you should send your abstract/presentation directly to SAP's Chief Virtualization Strategist Roland Wartenberg (roland.wartenberg@sap.com), or go to this link to learn more.

'Hope to see you there,
