var HOL131 = "Over the past few years, the role of database servers has dramatically increased its importance in almost every industry. Meanwhile, SQL Server has increased its feature set and its ability to scale in enterprise environments. As a result, the management of database servers has become a complex, manual and brittle process, with limited insight for troubleshooting problems. Aiming at improving, SQL Server manageability, as part of an ongoing effort by Microsoft to reduce the total cost of ownership, SQL Server 2008 introduces Policy-Based Management. Policy-Based Management enables users to manage SQL Servers by declarative intent, a.k.a., policies, that is, by specifying how the system should be and not the means to achieve it. By raising the level of management abstraction, Policy-Based Management simplifies the management process, provides policy automation, and provides greater insight into the system."

var IBM = "To keep up with the fast pace business changes today, the IT infrastructure needs to be dynamic and adapative. Virtualization is one of the key solutions popularly known in the industry. While people keep focusing at the virtualization of the server and storage, its management, disaster recovery and security protection, the desktop front-end cannot be ignored. Especially when the desktops are becoming more and more powerful, the concern of this subject area keeps growing.<br/><br/>"
IBM +=	"In the session, IBM will discuss about the issues in desktop management and concerns on security protection. How to virtualize the desktop computing; how to provide effective disaster recovery for the desktops; how to keep your company from the media due to security bleach and data theft .........

var Citrix = "To realize the benefits of virtualization, Microsoft and Citrix believe organizations should look for an integrated, end-to-end solution that IT can use to deliver any application to any user at the lowest cost.<br/><br/>"
Citrix += "In the data center, the best solution is one that is fully compatible with the existing IT infrastructure and has sufficient power and flexibility to adjust to a variety of usage scenarios. Not every virtualization solution provides management of a server base running a mix of operating systems, for example, so that is a key factor to consider when planning to virtualize. Not all solutions provide advanced storage capabilities, so organizations should choose a virtualization environment that takes those needs into account. Finally, IT will continue to have heterogeneous environments with both physical and virtualized servers and desktops. The right solution will give IT the flexibility to manage both physical and virtual resources in a simplified manner.<br/><br/>"
Citrix += "End users can have very different needs. Users whose job requires repetitive use of only a few applications will benefit most from presentation virtualization. Office workers who need access to a broader range of applications and a personalized environment are candidates for desktop virtualization. Mobile workers need a solution that can package applications and securely deliver them at any time and to any location. Organizations should choose a solution that can satisfy all these scenarios with the best combination of performance and reliability with maximum return on investment.<br/><br/>"
Citrix += "Citrix and Microsoft have designed their virtualization tools to work together to provide a complete virtualization solution that lowers the cost of operations by simplifying desktop and server life-cycle management; enables IT to respond to key business initiatives, such as business continuity, outsourcing, and compliance; and provides a superior end-user experience by enabling flexible work scenarios."
