The time is drawing near for our second annual Data Center Decisions conference to be held June 2-4 in Chicago, USA. Have you applied to attend yet? It's the only independent conference available today that helps you build the most scalable and reliable data center for tomorrow.
We've endeavored to make it everything you'd want in a conference: It's free of any admission charges, small in size to promote better networking and interaction and provides only high-quality, fluff-free content. Here is a sampling of the recently-updated schedule:
- The impact of storage on the data center
- Outsourcing your data center
- Technical purchasing decisions
- The future and evolving role of the mainframe
- Building a secure data center environment
- and much more...
If you manage a large enterprise data center, I would highly recommend that you attend. Apply for free admission here.
Till next week, Tim
