Our next VMworld case study interview scouts out how the Tampa Bay Rays, a Major League Baseball team, is using an extensive amount of virtualization on and off the field.

The Rays' IT department has just started bringing more and more of their applications, data, and processes out to the mobile tier using virtualization and thin-client approaches to make the preferred mobile device, the tablet, super powerful for them. And they're extending the value of virtualization into disaster recovery (DR) too.

This story comes as part of a special BriefingsDirect podcast series from the recent VMworld 2011 Conference. The series explores the latest in cloud computing and virtualization infrastructure developments.

To hear more winning statistics about the Rays and their back-end to client virtualization experience, we're joined by Juan Ramirez, Senior Director for Information Technology with the Tampa Bay Rays. The discussion is moderated by Dana Gardner, Principal Analyst at Interarbor Solutions. [Disclosure: VMware is a sponsor of BriefingsDirect podcasts.]
