Jun. 5, 2008 09:30 AM

SYS-CON Events announced today that the Founder & CEO of FastScale, Lynn LeBlanc, will be giving a top breakout session at SYS-CON's 4th International Virtualization Conference & Expo in San Jose, CA (20-21 November, 2008). LeBlanc founded the company in January 2006 at a time when analysts were already predicting that virtual server sprawl would create a submarket for new software providers.

LeBlanc has 25 years of enterprise software and technology experience at both Fortune 500 companies and Silicon Valley start-ups. Her extensive career includes SVP and VP roles in general management, marketing and business development at industry leaders including Cadence Design Systems and Octel Communications as well as acquired start-ups iReady Corporation, ILEX Systems and Atherton Technology. LeBlanc also served as VP of Marketing and Business Development at Scyld Software and spent her early career at IBM Corporation.

Virtualization is becoming an increasingly important concept, not only to IT staffs, but to CIOs and line-of-business managers as well. It is quickly being deployed in server, storage, networking, as well as client environments.

"Deploying Virtualization in the Enterprise" is the conference theme of SYS-CON's 4th International Virtualization Conference & Expo.. The Call for Papers, which is now open, welcomes submissions from exceptional speakers with high-quality use cases not only of how virtualization maximizes the use of resources and thus saves companies money, but also of how it is fundamentally altering the way that businesses run IT.
