Data Center Decisions 2009

Managing Next Generation Data Centers in the Down Economy

We continue to face more challenges than ever before in terms of the constant pressure of having to reduce costs without sacrificing performance. Not to mention data center greening initiatives, virtualization overhauls, cutbacks on power consumption, disaster recovery concerns and more potential hurdles that still abound not only this year, but as we prepare our IT plans and budgets for 2010. So with the overwhelming need to continue do more with less, how can you keep your performance and capacity up to par without breaking the bank?

Gain FREE admission to our 7th annual Data Center Decisions Summit – now with an enhanced format that delivers definitive tips, tactics and techniques jam-packed into a single day format that'll have you back at the office and implementing cost-cutting solutions and strategies the very next day.

Attend and gain proven, unbiased expertise – delivered by 4 of today's top data center and storage gurus hand-picked for this exclusive event –  focused on how to:

  • Boost productivity as you squeeze greater efficiencies out of your existing data center that are cost-effective and tailored to your budget
  • Create fault tolerant and highly available resource pools for organizations of all sizes, from small to large
  • Simplify Configuration Management Databases (CMDB) adoption and expansion and gain the greatest ROI from your CMDB investment
  • Select the right disaster recovery testing tools and understand how these will impact your storage environment
  • And more

Data Center Decisions is the only local event of this magnitude where the qualified attendees are admitted free of charge: a priceless commodity in the times of severely slashed budgets for education and travel. Get the detailed information you need to make decisions today, not just general ideas or theories about the possible future of data center technologies. Submit your application today to secure your seat at no cost – seats are strictly limited to a maximum of 150 to ensure a productive learning experience and plenty of peer networking time and access to our speakers.
