Overview of IBM System x Technical Symposium
At this year’s IBM System x Technical Symposium we will bring together IT professionals and leaders for a look into the transformation of IT infrastructures meeting the demands of a smarter planet.
IBM System x is the platform for IT management and professionals to understand how to host, maintain or migrate memory-intensive or data-intensive workloads on to the leading edge performance eX5 and x86-based servers, as well as, incorporating leading edge virtualization and database software.
Join us to learn how the latest innovations are changing the entire value proposition for x86 architecture within the enterprise. Attendees will learn how to improve performance on memory-intensive workloads while dramatically reducing space, storage capacity, licensing costs, and energy bills. In-depth technical sessions demonstrate how IBM System x and IBM BladeCenter stand out from competitive products by offering a full suite of virtualization, networking, cloud, business analytics and storage options whereby organizations can take advantage of new technologies without disrupting current IT infrastructures.
In 2012, this event will have a major emphasis on the latest innovations in data centers and provide deep dives into the most recent product announcements that are changing the landscape for smarter computing.
