Paper Title: Real world results and observation from implementing virtualized environments

Paper Abstract: Gerrie Electric, an electrical distributor in Ontario, Canada, has experienced what many midsize enterprise companies are going through; the transition from spinning disk storage arrays to all flash systems. Gerrie will share their observations in their transition with a fully Virtualized Environment, with over 20 twenty locations across Ontario, that all connect to the corporate datacenter. Gerrie has maintained their 24X7 operations - fundamental to their business strategy, and has seen dramatically better application performance and lower operational costs, maintaining extremely high levels of service to their customers. And, their vendor has delivered on the promises of features outlined in the sales process.
