Events: Network and Application Acceleration

Event Host: Dr. Jim MetzlerNetwork and Application Acceleration: Shifting to a Higher Gear San Diego Denver Philadelphia Atlanta Produced by Network World LiveSend to a friendRegister

Inefficient applications... Inadequate architecture... Insufficient support... In the drive for the accelerated enterprise they're dismissed as "excuses." Shifting the demand for faster performance, greater efficiency, and better ROIs from technology to strategy to... YOU -- and the decisions you make.

  • Is it better to implement in-house solutions? Or trust outside managed-service providers?
  • Deploy dedicated, single-benefit appliances? Or build flexible, enterprise-wide platforms?
  • Be lean, technically-efficient, and centrally-driven? Or scalable, management-transparent, and user-accessible?
  • Sacrifice a little security for a lot of speed? Or sacrifice guaranteed profits for uncertain protection?

For every obvious advantage, a hidden pitfall. For every best practice, an advocate of the opposite. Which means for every manager demanding results, there's only one sure-fire answer: Attend Network & Application Acceleration: Shifting to a Higher Gear the new Network World LIVE Technology Tour event coming in April & May. Let industry expert Jim Metzler accelerate your understanding of the truths and tradeoffs of:

  • Server Consolidation
  • Compression
  • Caching
  • Differencing
  • Read Ahead
  • TCP acceleration
  • Route Control
  • QoS
  • MPLS
  • SSL Offload
  • Load Balancing
  • Wide-Area File Systems (WAFS)

This is the kind of inside, professional-level "what-they-won't-tell-you, but-we-will" knowledge you need in today's ever-faster world of network and application acceleration. And the only way to get it free is to reserve a seat for at this event for yourself. After all, the enterprise's need for speed is relentless. And thanks for Network World, there's no excuse for falling behind!
