>Greg Lefelar is an IBM Business Unit Executive with IBM's Government
>Industry. He currently manages IBM's Federal eServer Sales Team, which
>sells and supports high-performance systems and storage which are widely
>used around the world to solve some of the world's most challenging
>computational problems. Greg has 23 years experience with IBM, and has
>spent much of it in support of US government agencies and national
>laboratories. Greg started his career in systems engineering, and has
>spent the last 15 years in sales or sales management positions for IBM's
>Government Industry. He has a rather broad technical background in
>computer systems, ranging from desktops to supercomputers, as well as in
>storage systems and system software. IBM's eServer line of Servers are
>among the industry's most technologically advanced, and contain a
>substantial amount of innovation in the area of "virtualization", which
>describes the ability of a server to function as if it were more than just
>one server. Virtualization features in computer hardware are a necessary
>ingredient in new offerings by computer vendors, such as IBM and others,
>which are coined "On- Demand Computing" or "Utility Computing". Greg's
>talk will provide an explanation of "On-Demand Computing", and it's
>implications for business.
