Reshaping the Data Center
Many of us began our data center consolidation journey with the introduction of server virtualization in 2007, leaving the era of before virtualization “BV”. Data center 1.0 “DC01” was the first virtual infrastructure and saw IT organizations virtualize underutilized servers. As hardware and software capabilities have grown and a refresh of DC01 is on the horizon, Tier 1 applications can now move onto this infrastructure. Data Center 2.0 "DC02" introduces high performance unified compute solutions, 10GbE core switching and unified storage that moves beyond simple disk. IP Pathways is Leading the Data Center Revolution SM and helping organizations consolidate and virtualize tier 1 applications. Join us to learn more about consolidation of Tier 1 applications and DC02. Speakers from leading manufacturers such as VMware, NetApp, Cisco and F5 will discuss the following:
vSphere 5 and how VMware’s new virtualization platform enables the virtualization of Tier 1 applications
Unified storage and data protection for Tier 1 applications
How high performance unified compute solutions are changing the data center infrastructure architecture
Load balancing Tier 1 applications within the data center and between data centers
Application performance and security
Learn how IP Pathways will change the face of IT and lead the data center revolution in Kansas City! All this and a great steak too!
