_Industry Veteran Will Speak on How to Avoid Typical Virtualization Pitfalls_

**April 30, 2007, Paris, France** - Acronis Inc. ([www.acronis.com/en-eu/](https://www.acronis.com/en-eu/)), a technological leader in storage management software, announced today that Ed Harnish, Vice President of Marketing, will be delivering a presentation at the upcoming Server Blade Summit on Wednesday, May 2, 2007 entitled "Virtualization: It's More than Consolidation."

With the increasing use of virtual servers, "Virtualization: It's More than Consolidation" will address a number of factors that should be considered when buying a machine as well as how to maintain a server's performance. In particular, the presentation will focus on the benefits of using virtual machines, how to choose a virtual disk type and tips on how to improve virtual host performance.

"It is becoming more and more evident that the value of your data is going to long outlive the value of your hardware. This is leading to an increase in the use of virtual servers due to their high level of adaptability and scalability," said Harnish. "The presentation at the Server Blade Summit is aimed not only at informing people how to choose the right virtualization solution, but also how to get the most out of it."
