hat will be the next ‘big thing’ in IT for 2006?

hat will transform security … management of network and apps … the build out of VoIP … how you think about data centers and storage … and optimize wide-area and local-area networks?

You need to know. And our industry insiders have your answers at IT Roadmap ’06: What’s New, What’s Next, and What to Buy Now.
