Overview

Raising the Bar: From IT Efficiency to Business Innovation

During the last five years, your approach to IT infrastructure & operations has shifted radically: from barely containing complexity, to driving its evolution. A new, clear set of high-level objectives is emerging - efficiency, reusability and policy-level management. Technology developments have played a significant role in making these goals realistic, although achievement will rely equally on process and cultural changes. Through virtualization, automation and new architectures (both hardware and software), you have been able to define a vision for Real-Time-Infrastructure (RTI) and plot your journey towards this.

Gartner's Data Center Summit 2007 offers fresh guidance on how to turn today's improvements in IT infrastructure and process efficiency into tomorrow's business advantage - leveraging the savings from RTI to drive radical new innovation that will benefit your enterprise.

More than 20 senior Gartner analysts will participate in the conference, giving you an unparalleled opportunity to discuss your specific data center issues with the experts. Plus, there will be plenty of opportunities to network with your colleagues.
