Discover the next generation of data infrastructure!
Enterprise IT, data centre and infrastructure managers are increasingly challenged in managing an explosion of data across distributed sites and environments, often with legacy infrastructure.
Added to that, unstable power and the soaring costs of doing business can hamper ambitions to integrate, monitor and manage data faster and more efficiently, for smarter businesses ready to optimise cloud, big data, AI and IoT.
Following our successful roadshow in Johannesburg, Vertiv, in partnership with ITWeb, will host the next leg of our African roadshow in Cape Town, where enterprise infrastructure decision makers will find out how to overcome infrastructure challenges and move into the future.
At this immersive experience, you will hear about mega data infrastructure, Vertiv’s revolutionary intelligent SmartCabinet™, and discover how intelligent infrastructure overcomes complexity, improves efficiency and accelerates data. You’ll also learn how Vertiv SmartRow™ takes an innovative approach to data centre design by efficiently integrating power and distribution systems, thermal management, security and IT management; while the Vertiv SmartMod™ simplifies and speeds up deployment of critical IT assets in small room IT deployments.
