| Description: | Learn how an Indiana based community church leveraged free VMware Server to support a quickly growing IT infrastructure to quadruple CPU utilization, free up hardware resources and achieve 10:1 server consolidation. Attend this webinar and hear Ed Buford from Granger Church discuss how VMware Server and Converter provided the perfect solution to help their small IT staff and limited budget. Guest Speaker: Ed Buford,Granger Community Church VMware Speaker: Azmir Mohammed, Senior Product Manager SMB Company description Indiana-based Granger Community Church was founded in 1986 with the goal of providing a place of worship for people who were not currently attending a church because they saw church as too boring, too intimidating or just not relevant to their lives. The approach struck a chord, turning Granger into one of the fastest growing churches in the country |
Will we be able to get this after the fact? I would love to be part of the webinar, but I am unable to be free at that time!

Just a note of encouragement.
We put in two nice new shiney quad cpu servers running VMware ESX and a SAN back at the start of the year, and would never look back. Virtualization and the ability to ability to multiple host hardware for redundancy I would now list as a minimum requirement for any 1000+ plus church. In fact I would even say smaller churches could dip their toe into the virtual waters by using the free version of VMware Server on a decently grunty box (which is what I do with my server at home - AMD Athlon X2 5600+, 2GB, VMware Server 1.0.4 on top of Fedora 7, 3 Windows 2003 guest VMs)
