IBM Systems Conference

Make your IT infrastructure ready for today's dynamic business climate

Technology advances are accelerating as the business landscape is growing more complex, creating a need for much deeper integration of IT within the business, a knowledge of cross platform systems management tools and techniques, and an understanding of “best of breed” virtualization and optimization processes. Consolidations, shared services, and driving costs out of the data center are no longer options but requirements. When there is not enough budget for technology leaps, maintaining and broadening the capabilities of legacy systems gain priority.

In this inaugural event, IBM executives, developers and industry experts reveal the latest innovations, trends and directions. In the span of three full days, you will hear and see technologies demonstrated that are needed to transform and respond effectively in these economic times.

Over 120 sessions will be offered across three tracks:

IBM Systems Track
