Thinking outside the Box
Physical server consolidation remains by far the top benefit of virtualisation for many enterprises. As the penetration rate of virtualisation is rapidly approaching the 50% rate within Enterprise and SMB's alike, Business's must now look past the “low hanging fruit” of the early P2V conversions of file, print, and web servers and smaller departmental apps towards Tier 1 mission-critical apps such as email systems, high transactional databases, ERP and CRM systems. Of course, the significant cost, power, cooling and efficiency advantages of server virtualisation are accelerating its adoption across the enterprise, but improved disaster recovery and data protection are the top two most important advantages of virtualising more heavy workloads. Come listen why using Veeam Backup & Replication, will help you realise the full promise of virtualisation by allowing you to “Think outside the Box” with regards to the way you normally do things. Don’t do different things.. Do things differently

Storage Virtualisation
Business as usual? It’s history. Without question, the current economic environment is radically changing how you do business - and adding to the storage infrastructure challenges you face every day. Budgets are tighter than ever, which means you have to thoroughly analyze, prioritise and justify every storage purchasing decision. Yet business and regulatory requirements for better, faster and more reliable information access continue to drive ever-increasing data storage requirements. When times get tough, the tough get going - and choose storage virtualisation solutions designed to help you tackle data growth requirements and spending constraints. Many enterprise and medium-sized businesses have already implemented server virtualisation as they move toward the next-generation data center. Storage virtualisation is a logical next step as a way to extend the business value of virtualisation. Consider storage virtualisation as both an enabler and an accelerator for your virtualised information technology environment.

Enterprise Performance Management
Market reports on IT spending indicate that CIO's spend their budgets on transactional and operational systems including ERP, legacy and CRM solutions but tend to ignore the real time decision making capabilities that an IT infrastructure needs to provide the CEO, CFO and functional heads/business heads in the form of corporate dashboard and analytics.

Identity Secured Enterprise
Enterprises need the confidence that their business is secure and that they can meet the increasingly complex regulatory landscape, but not at the expense of business agility or overwhelming cost. Additionally, as they look at computing paradigms shifting to the cloud, they want to be sure their cloud environment has the same level of security and policy controls as their enterprise environment before they move resources to the cloud. However, maintaining control over who is accessing what, how access is being granted, separation of duties and how they generate reports for internal visibility and compliance across all their physical, virtual and cloud environments can be a significant challenge. Join us in a discussion on how an Identity Secured Enterprise will benefit you and your organisation. In this session we will explore mechanisms to enable your most valuable asset – people. With users at the center of an enterprise, and digital identities their vehicles to interact with enterprise resources, an identity secured enterprise can make informed decisions with most up-to-date information. It can be secured efficiently through continuous monitoring and provide stakeholders and auditors with the necessary proof of due diligence and compliance.
