IT innovation doesn’t stop for downturns. New technologies are released every day. Every one of them designed to solve a problem. But which technologies are most suitable for your problems, your organisation? Which brand is the best choice of similar offerings, and why? Should you deploy now, or wait for the next generation? What are the hidden traps and costs? What does this technology really deliver, beyond the marketing hype? What is happening under the hood? What true business benefits and returns will it deliver?
These are the questions that Nexus consultants are asked all the time. We find that IT Managers and CIO’s benefit enormously from rich dialogue with peers: a forum where they can get straight answers from engineers, not sales people.
To this end Nexus hosts regular breakfast briefings where industry experts talk about current issues. The speakers to answer probing questions in a short time frame and the forum’s small size allows open interaction and rapid knowledge diffusion.
With the world in an economic downturn, there aren’t many IT Managers or CIOs not being asked to cut costs. Therefore we are focusing only on technologies that can significantly reduce IT operating costs.
We hope that you can join us for one, many or all of 2009’s breakfast briefings.
‘The Cloud’ (fully virtualised infrastructure) is all the buzz. But, while Virtualisation is a well proven technology, there are some nasty traps for inexperienced players. We expose the hidden challenges that bring virtualisation unstuck.
With a resume of over 400 organisations successfully virtualised during the past 8 years, few people have as much experience to share as Darren Ashley. Darren will run through his success criteria for a successful project. This is an invaluable session for anyone about to embark on a virtualisation project.
