Event Details
The data center is undergoing radical changes in scale, automation and cost-efficiency due to increasing virtualization, virtual machine mobility and Cloud Delivery models. Next generation data centers are seeking to improve performance and utilization of their given resources, simplify management and reduce complexity of their networks, and reduce capital and operational expenses.
In the face of these changes, Enterprise CIO’s and IT managers are demanding that their vendors provide a strategic end-to-end perspective for the data center, and have solution portfolios encompassing Servers, Storage, Software and Networks. They are looking for solutions that connect servers and storage with a high-speed and intelligent network fabric that is smarter, faster, greener, open and easy to manage.
Our traditional competitors such as Cisco, HP, Dell and others are focusing on improving their capabilities to deliver integrated solutions encompassing Servers, Storage, Software and Networks. A key element in IBM's competitive response is the acquisition of a leading Ethernet vendor and some strategic partnerships that provide IBM with a number of competitive advantages today and positions IBM well for the data center of the future.
The IBM System Networking Top Gun (SNTG) Class will introduce you to the new era of data center network, and teach you how to retain client mindshare, defend against competitors and grow revenue and profit by including the network component in your Systems and/or Software solutions.
