Wichita - Transforming the Data Center

Larkspur Resturant & Grill — 11/19/2008 11:00 AM

In nearly every data center, applications are creating new demands for server processing and infrastructure optimization.

For many, it's time to do more than simply update systems-it's time to transform the data center.

Join Cisco and VMware for a look at solutions that address the very foundation of your data center and create a new environment to increase server utilization, reduce operating costs, and improve application efficiency.

At this lunch event, data center experts will share best practices to:
• Build a foundation for virtualized data center architectures
• Increase efficiencies in data center designs using a Unified Fabric approach
• Improve VMware deployments with Cisco VN-Link
• Enhance VDI performance with Cisco WAAS WAN Optimization
What you will gain is far more than useful insights. We will provide a map to how you can redesign your data center to stand up to today's needs as well as the changes to come.

SAN Virtualization

Pujols 5 — 11/19/2008 3:30 PM

Reduce the capacity required to store your data by at least 40% when migrating to a Compellent SAN or we will make up the capacity shortfall for free!!!

A new day of technology is among us and AOS wants to be the first to introduce you to the leader in this field. Recently AOS has introduced Compellent into the St. Louis market place as a provider of primary storage. What seperates Compellent from the long list of SAN providers is the ability to virtualize the data that is residing on the disks. This technology not only introduces better performance and utilization of the active spindles it opens the possibilities of new ways to provide disaster recovery and data retention.

In a marketplace that has been overly saturated with traditional technologies, Compellent has found a way to step out from the clutter and deliver a scalable solution that will continue to take advantage of your virtualization practices. This is proven with recent awards from VMWare, 2008 Gold Medal Winner at VMworld, and Microsoft's 2008 Advanced Infrastructure Solutions, Storage Solutions. With acclaim like this, something has to be going on!

Come spend an afternoon with AOS and Compellent and learn what this new SAN technology can offer to your organization.

If you have any questions please call Lindsay DeBlasi at 636.680.1064 or email her at ldeblasi@aos5.com
