Discover how you can transform your business and information technology operations to become more responsive, real-time, and on demand. As companies and public sector organizations undertake these initiatives, both internally and among customers and business partners, they are realizing that Linux and open systems can drive significant transformational efficiency and lower costs.
At the “Enterprise Linux and Open Source Virtualization” Executive Seminar, Gartner, Intel, a Customer, Akibia and Novell will cover, how Linux and other open source and open standards-based solutions help your organization benefit from choice, lower costs, and a more productive IT infrastructure to help you grow your business.
