FREE Seminar: Thursday, June 12, 2008

Government IT managers are under pressure to cut costs and improve service level responsiveness. These competing mandates are forcing an evolution in how data centers are designed, built, equipped, utilized, and managed. As data centers evolve, the networks that support them are changing to meet new requirements.

Many Fortune 500 companies spend more than half of their IT budgets on data centers, which may be underutilized and slow. These performance factors combine to drive up operational costs—perhaps up to 70 percent over the next ten years. Given this trend, managers must optimize data centers through consolidation, virtualization, and automation of resources and processes.

As an IT professional responsible for federal data centers, networks, or application delivery, we invite you to participate in this interactive technical seminar to learn more about how the next generation data centers will pool resources connected by the unified fabric of the network—the new "backplane" of the virtual data center. Learn how future networks will be application fluent and will be managed to orchestrate service-delivery within organizations large and small. Network managers will have the tools to govern how resources are allocated to applications, depending on changing missions and workload requirements.

Attendees and industry experts will share experiences and address how to evolve agency data centers and networks, through a phased approach tailored to each organization’s ability to deliver human and financial capital, while taking advantage of existing assets within legacy environments. As many Web 2.0 applications are being introduced that require “any data, anytime, anywhere” collaboration, IT professionals must prepare their networks and data centers to support these rapidly changing system requirements.

Don’t miss this valuable peer-to-peer discussion and professional educational opportunity. And, take away practical, actionable information to help you enable your agency’s next generation data center.

Space is limited. Register today for The Next-Generation Data Center--Fueling Web 2.0 Applications Seminar.

We look forward to seeing you in June.
