Think of an enterprise that has reached the summit and you’ll likely conjure up a place that boasts of optimum performance, cost-effectiveness, fast and accurate delivery of services, and intelligence that gives decision-makers insight they can act on. These are all very valuable to businesses and they’re all within your reach. Attend one of our seminars on IBM zEnterprise and you’ll come away with plenty of useful information that will help you continue your own trek to the summit.

IT budgets may be tighter than ever, but enterprise technology from IBM continues to advance and close the gaps between where you are and where you want to be. For example, we’ll show you how the unique capabilities of zEnterprise fit into an enterprise private cloud to save money, decrease risks and increase agility. Overall, System z can help you transform your business to better compete in an increasingly information-centric world.

At the zEnterprise Technology Summit, you’ll learn from real-world scenarios, live demonstrations and in-depth presentations. We’ll discuss many “out of the box” benefits in the zEnterprise portfolio of products, with practical tips, best practices and guidance on major topics of concern to IT professionals, as well as developing long-term strategies for implementing what you learn in this seminar.

Led by IBM experts, these sessions cover a wide range of topics, including:

  •     Updating application infrastructures to expose business logic
  •     Running business analytics on System z for faster access to transactional data
  •     Low-cost provisioning of the secure private cloud
  •     Dramatic performance and CPU improvements in the newest DB2 technology
  •     Extending the reach of IMS™ assets by enabling new web services
  •     Gaining capacity through the scalability enhancements of CICS
  •     Reducing complexity in the data center while enabling multi-platform development.

Today’s leading global businesses rely on System z. Its proven strengths—availability, security, flexibility, manageability and recoverability—are unmatched. zEnterprise expands on that foundation by driving innovation in application development, enterprise performance and overall productivity. Don’t miss this opportunity to see how much you have to gain.
