True, the SHARE presentations also look very similar to a session at the System z9 and zSeries Expo (10/9-13/2006).
I was looking for the LinuxWorld presentation specifically because it was given by their Chief Architect and (unfortunately) that would probably carry more weight with management. The SHARE and Expo presentations do add some information so I would combine all of them when presenting it to my management. I have been in touch with Rick Barlow at Nationwide (he gave the Expo presentation) but he doesn't have a copy of the LinuxWorld presentation. I have the podcast of the LinuxWorld presentation but no foils to go with it. If you have another contact in Nationwide that would be most appreciated. Thanks Ken Porowski -----Original Message----- Post, Mark K I can contact the guys from Nationwide to see if they can send you a PDF version of the slides. But, I don't know that this presentation will tell you anything that the ones from SHARE don't cover. http://linuxvm.org/Present/#share107 sessions 9212 and 9213.

I can view it from the linuxworld site but the quality is low . http://www.linuxworld.com/events/keynotes/lwsf06-guru.html Guru Vasudeva AVP & Enterprise Chief Architect, Enterprise OCTO, Nationwide During 2005 Nationwide, a Fortune 100 insurance and financial services company, embarked on a journey to aggressively exploit virtualization and Linux to address the growing software and data center costs, to simplify the environment, and to significantly improve the provisioning process.
