IBM POWER Systems - system p & system i - Technical Conference

In 2008 IBM introduced The New Power Equation marking an important step in the evolution of the Power based systems. A new Power Systems Family, new Power Systems Software and new PowerVM solutions. As part of The New Power Equation IBM released IBM i 6.1, PowerVM Lx86, PowerHA, New Systems and Energy Management tools and much more. To get you and your team ready to design and operate your data center with these technologies, IBM organises the Power Systems Technical Conference in Brugge, Belgium from 20-23 October, for IBM clients and IBM Business Partners. Do you or your customers and business partners currently administer a System i infrastructure? Is your area of expertise in AIX or Linux? Are you a Systems manager or IT Architect? Whatever your background or area of expertise, this conference is designed for your customers and business partners!

Our 2008 conference will allow you to learn from IBM's own experts more about best practices in implementation, how to gain the most from the energy saving capabilities of POWER6 and server consolidation, what the Migration Factory has to tell us about migrations to POWER 6 as well as giving you an update on future developments.

At the same time we appreciate the role the IBM conferences play in giving you the knowledge and skills to get the best return on your existing System p and System i investment. As ever IBM technical professionals will offer presentations, labs and demos that will give you the skills to do so. And by combining the individual conferences into one global event, you will now gain access and exposure to the full breadth of IBM POWER Systems technologies and experts.
