3LEAF CHAIRMAN, FOUNDER AND CTO BOB QUINN TO SPEAK
AT 2008 VIRTUALIZATION CONFERENCE WEST

Session Examines Technical and Business Trends Driving Processor Advancements and
Enabling a Truly Dynamic Data Center

SAN JOSE, Calif., November 17, 2008 - 3Leaf Systems (www.3leafsystems.com), a provider of next-generation virtualization solutions for enterprise data centers, today announced that Bob Quinn, chairman, founder and chief technology officer for the company, will present at the 2008 Virtualization Conference West being held November 19-21 in San Jose, Calif. In his session entitled, "MicroNetwork-Based Coherency: Extending a Processor's Coherency Domain over a Standard Network," Bob will discuss the technology and business trends that are enabling truly dynamic computing within the data center.

As network switch latencies fall and the architecture for processor coherency migrates from a frontside bus to a coherent network, technology is driving toward the next generation of distributed processing. At the same time enterprises are struggling to scale resources to the dynamic demands of today's business applications. These forces are converging to enable a coherent network with efficient, high performance inter-processor communication for x86 systems over standard commodity switches. Enterprises can now virtualize servers to create pools of resources that can be allocated in real-time to meet dynamic application needs. Bob's session at the Virtualization Conference delves into the technology and business advancements that are enabling unprecedented scalability and flexibility with commodity X64 systems.

"Advancements in processors, network switches, and operating systems, when combined with coherent networking and distributed hypervisors, enable the Dynamic Data Center, which brings resources on line just in time to meet changing business needs while minimizing the operational overhead of power and cooling" said Bob Quinn, chairman, founder and CTO at 3Leaf Systems.

Session Details:
Bob Quinn's session, "MicroNetwork-Based Coherency: Extending a Processor's Coherency Domain over a Standard Network," will be held on Wednesday, November 19 from 3:25 to 4:10 p.m. as part of Track 5: Virtualization/Cloud. The 2008 Virtualization Conference West is being held at the Fairmont Hotel in San Jose, Calif.
