If you're a Network Administrator of any sort, everything you know is on the verge of changing -- for the better. Virtualization offers budgetary, environmental and management advantages to the difficult job of keeping your servers optimized and running.  But that's not all. Desktop virtualization can provide you with a powerful remote access and shared desktop solution that can improve your space efficiency while keeping staff productive.  And provisioning -- using virtualization to offer customizable server or desktop instances from one server -- is yet another booming use of this new technology.  Discuss these and other revolutionary uses of this transformative technology at NTEN's geekiest webinar this month.

Paul Kerness, MSW, LSW, MCP, is Chief Technologist for Genii Research, LLC, a mission driven company that has been virtualizing infrastructures for non-profits since 2004.  After several years of hands on non-profit management as a Program Director for Volunteers of America, Paul took over the development of Connection-Newark’s “Digital Nerve Center” project in 2000.  This innovative project, funded by Prudential, sought to leverage Pru’s Newark (NJ) based Enterprise Class IT knowledge and resources for the benefit of the grass roots non-profit community in and around the Newark area.  It was in that capacity - working side by side with world class IT engineers, architects and developers with IT budgets in the hundreds of millions – that Paul first became exposed to and excited about the benefits of centralized infrastructures, cloud computing and virtualization.   In 2004, Paul decided that the time was right and co-founded Genii Research to try to extend the benefits of this new IT paradigm to non-profits that needed it at a price point that made sense.  Genii’s signature virtual infrastructure product, myGenii™, debuted in 2005 and now provides an “everything, any time, any where” IT network to hundreds of non-profit users.
