Virtualization & Future Technologies
A discussion of virtualization concepts, including current and future marketplace trends, server, storage and network virtualization directions and what's available from IBM and across the industry.
IBM System p™
IBM System p5 offers outstanding performance and reliability, and uncompromising UNIX and Linux enablement. Our presentations can provide IBM System p5 product updates, strategies, trends, directions and futures, depending on customer requirements. Specific topics can include processor road maps, Advanced POWER Virtualization, BladeCenter, TCO, competitive positions, benchmarks, AIX, clustering, RAS and Linux on System p5.
IBM BladeCenter™
The IBM BladeCenter system is a high-density server solution providing a shared platform for up to 14 servers in single chassis, offering a space-saving solution compared to traditional servers. BladeCenter system design offers simplicity with respect to management, administration, and configuration. This simplicity is achieved through BladeCenter system shared platform where components are shared by all blade servers instead of a single component for each server. System management is a key feature of BladeCenter system allowing administrators to monitor the state of all blade servers and BladeCenter system components from a single interface. Another advantage is the BladeCenter system modular approach, which allows components to be added when needed, to meet the on-demand needs of organizations.
IBM System x™
IBM System x offers an end-to-end portfolio on Intel processors, and revolutionary Enterprise X-Architecture technology for Intel. Our presentations can provide System x product updates, strategies, trends, directions and futures. We can take you through industry-leading technologies that are behind our Enterprise X-Architecture strategy, including light-path diagnostics, high-availability memory offerings, KVM cabling solutions, and many more. We will also review IBM BladeCenter and X3 Architecture two of IBM's leading Intel-based scalability solutions in this area.
Business Continuity / GDPS™
Continuous availability, disaster recovery, and business continuity are hallmarks of System z. Whether you need an introduction to the concepts, or a deep dive into technology and futures, we have speakers who are experts in this complex area.
Infrastructure Simplification
Infrastructure simplification goes beyond server consolidation to create efficient, resilient and responsive IT environments by collapsing complex systems into simpler infrastructures. These "simplified" infrastructures help customers cut costs by leveraging key enabling technologies like mainframes, blades, Virtualization, Linux and Grid.
