Innovative approaches for application delivery and management are in the spotlight and many say application virtualization is the next big thing. Terms like application virtualization, desktop virtualization, application streaming and others are often interchanged. These technologies are frequently mistaken for each other. No wonder there's so much confusion.

This session addresses the solutions changing the way we deliver and manage applications. It will help you understand their similarities, differences and how they're related. You'll learn the functionally, benefits and challenges of each approach. Understanding these technologies will help you determine the best application delivery model to meet your organization's needs.

Service-oriented architectures (SOAs) have evolved over the past few years out of the original vision of loosely coupled web services replacing constrained, stovepiped applications throughout enterprise IT. Every major enterprise technology vendor today has developed its own SOA strategy, supported by innumerable mid-size companies and start-ups offering specific SOA aspects or entire solutions. This explosive growth in SOA technology is in response to a global demand--IDC estimates that spending on SOA services alone will grow from $8.6 billion to more than $33 billion by 2010.
