Webinar: Time to Say Goodbye to Repackaging? – Hosted by AppDeploy
I know we have had some discussions at work around our recent move to virtualization around whether we would continue to repackage applications. Repackaging won’t immediately be dismissed but is it time to make it the second option? Virtualizing applications is getting better by the minute and as more tools get released, easier as well. So I think AppDeploy picked the perfect time to take this subject to greater depths and without the vendors.
AppDeploy.com is hosting a discussion around the Pros and Cons of Virtualization in the IT World. I don’t want to miss this one! So tune in on Thursday, September 17, 2009 10:00 a.m. PT/ 1:00 p.m. ET
