Gartner Infrastructure Management Local Briefing / Auckland
Hilton Auckland
New Zealand
As a data center professional you are expected to be a key enabler towards business growth, business differentiation and business change management. To help you succeed, Gartner is bringing to you our senior analysts to discuss how you can help the business look beyond the cost discussion to new opportunities in the marketplace.
Join us for a breakfast session of interactive presentations and learn how Gartner insight can help you innovate and grow your enterprise.
Session One
The Future of IT Operations Management
Deb Curtis, Research Vice President
What does the future hold for your IT operations management? Is it more of the same or are there new perspectives? You don’t need a crystal ball to see that IT operations have gone through significant changes in the last few years to meet the needs of your business. Achieving higher levels of availability, meeting compliance requirements and reducing per unit service delivery costs are now a given. In order to become more business and service-centric it is imperative for you to implement and manage new technologies, as well as invest in the IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL) and process improvements.
In this session you will learn:
• Which business pressures and trends are resulting in organisational, process and technology changes in IT operations and infrastructure management.
• How IT operations will transform and restructure to achieve operations and infrastructure excellence.
• How IT operations management suppliers and technologies are evolving to aid in process automation and business transformation.
Session Two
Driving Real Benefits with Virtualised Unified Infrastructure
Andy Butler, Vice President and Distinguished Analyst
Are you prepared for the unstoppable forces that are redefining how your data center technology is planned, bought, managed and retired from now and beyond? Data center investment is moving from being a retrospective consolidation effort to an increasingly integrated solution that can be alternately ‘cloud’ sourced. In this presentation you will find out the three factors that are driving these changes and explore the benefits, savings and investment challenges from a cost and governance perspective.
Attend this session to learn:
• How your data center infrastructure will evolve?
• What impact will modularity and power have on your sustainability initiatives?
• How will virtualisation empower modular architectures and cloud, and what does this mean for your enterprise?
