Systems supporting enterprise virtual machine environments fail in ways that are obvious afterwards and invisible before. Security and delivery speed are traded against each other in machine environments whether or not anyone says so. Cases are chosen to expose the trade-offs in this part of technology and systems delivery rather than to illustrate ideal conditions. Applied research in technology and systems delivery consistently shows that early structure around enterprise virtual machine environments reduces downstream rework. Content is organised around the decisions practitioners actually face in the wider technology and systems delivery agenda, not around theory headings. Participants gain a realistic view of what machine environments costs and what it returns. Progress on enterprise virtual machine environments is usually lost in the gap between approval and execution. It is pitched for practitioners with responsibility for machine environments, not for observers of it. Participants finish with a short, specific brief on the technology and systems delivery discipline ready to put in front of a decision maker.
