Gartner Data Centre Summit 2008

Gartner Data Centre Summit offers guidance on turning today's improvements in IT infrastructure and process efficiency into tomorrow's business advantage. A new set of objectives is emerging - efficiency, reusability and policy-level management. Technology developments, process and cultural changes, play a significant role in realizing these goals.

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.
