rPath Redefines App Delivery at InformationWeek Virtualization Event

Webinar at InformationWeek Online Event Shows How to Reduce Cost, Complexity of Enterprise App Delivery in Traditional, Virtualized and Cloud-based Environments

Application deployment and maintenance are too slow and expensive because of a gap that has long existed between application development and production operations. Virtualization and cloud computing can help close this gap by providing development teams with the speed and flexibility they want. But this speed can come at the expense of control and predictability for production operations.

During the upcoming InformationWeek virtual event, “Virtualization: Driving Value from the Desktop to the Data Center,” Jake Sorofman, VP of marketing for rPath, will lead a webinar that discusses what it takes to blend speed and control to close this gap. By adopting an automated and simplified approach to application delivery and system management, organizations can reduce the time, cost and risk of application deployment and maintenance across traditional, virtual and cloud environments. rPath is a platinum sponsor of the event.

What: “Bridging the Gap Between ‘Apps’ and ‘Ops’: Automating Application Deployment and Maintenance” webinar, presented as part of InformationWeek’s virtual event, “Virtualization: Driving Value from the Desktop to the Data Center”

Who: Jake Sorofman, vice president of marketing, rPath
