Reinvent enterprise data infrastructure,
and drive business into the future!
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 and IoT.
Vertiv, in partnership with ITWeb, invites you to the first international Vertiv roadshow to be staged in Africa, to find out how to overcome these challenges, reduce latency and support an explosion of data traffic.
Attend this immersive experience, where you will walk through mega data infrastructure in Virtual Reality, be first in South Africa to see 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.
