Presentations

VMware Virtualization Makes Java Application Development and Deployment Easier

If you’re curious about the ways virtualization can be used in Java development and deployment, you’ll want to attend this session. VMware principal engineer Richard McDougall discusses the new SpringSourceTool Suite integration with the VMware Workstation Eclipse plug-in that lets you seamlessly move Java application code into a VMware virtual machine with a few mouse clicks, speeding application development, testing, and debugging. You’ll learn how VMware virtualization technology provides cost advantages and deployment flexibility for runtime deployments of lightweight, modular server architectures from Spring - on desktops, in data centers or in virtualized grid or cloud environments. Best practices for running Java workloads in VMware virtual machines will be included in the presentation as well.
