Systems & Networking Hardware  If hardware gives you real heartburn, Gartner will take the pain away. Learn how to select and manage the best value hardware solutions for your needs in this stream of presentations from the world’s research specialists. All your needs will be covered including PCs, servers and storage, operating systems, broadband networks, wireless and mobile devices. Techniques such as the Gartner Hype-Cycle and selection models will help you understand the best alternatives for your needs today and tomorrow. View Exhibitors for this Track Who will benefit: IT managers, acquisition and procurement managers and technologists, systems managers, network managers, and technical staff involved in selecting and implementing systems and networking solutions, and staff from hardware and network equipment and service providers. Lead Presentation: Systems and Networking Scenario: From Silicon to Airwaves 13:45 - 14:45 12 November 2002 Tom Bittman This presentation integrates our research across semiconductors, hardware platforms, operating systems, and networking into one, holistic view of where the industry is going over the next ten to fifteen years. A PhD in physics is not required - only an interest in possible roadmaps to the future.
16:30 - 17:30 12 November 2002 Matthew Boon There are many server vendors in Asia Pacific. Corporations are finding it increasingly difficult to understand key differentiators and purchase drivers. This session will unearth who the leading Server Vendors are in Asia Pacific and will examine what to look for when all their offerings begin to look the same.
8:30 - 9:30 13 November 2002 Ian Bertram Understanding the increased complexity between similar PC platforms, upcoming technology changes, analysis of the key PC vendors, and traditional lifecycle issues are the differentiators between success and failure for IT.
10:00 - 11:00 13 November 2002 Philip Sargeant New products, new technologies, new vendor partnerships, changes in vendor strategies, and rapidly falling prices are redefining the storage marketplace. Storage has become a critical technology asset that must be managed effectively. This sessions tells you how.
13:30 - 14:30 13 November 2002 Martin Gilliland Using the latest data from Gartner Dataquest, we present market shares and forecasts for various hardware categories across Asia/Pacific, with view on the relative strengths and competitiveness of the major vendors.
15:00 - 16:00 13 November 2002 Geoff Johnson As e-business transformation continues to take hold, enterprises are becoming increasingly dependent on their networks – to the point that the network becomes the backbone of the business itself. This session offers a pragmatic view of what you need to do to keep your organisation a step ahead of the financial and technological network demands it faces.
17:30 - 18:30 13 November 2002 Andrew Chetham Rapidly evolving Internet technologies offer a variety of approaches for managing, delivering, and benefiting from on-demand and streaming media content. This seminar explores key enabling technologies and various approaches to building digital media delivery systems.
9:00 - 10:00 14 November 2002 Ken Dulaney In an era in which users may have more mobile devices than shoes, organisations must have a clear understanding of which devices - handsets, PDAs, pagers or notebooks - will best fit the needs of businesses and consumers.
10:30 - 11:30 14 November 2002 Geoff Johnson Converged voice, video, storage and data applications are beginning to appear on corporate networks. Most early implementations fail and are plagued with difficulties. Understanding how to build a true multiservice infrastructure is key to delivering new applications.
14:00 - 15:00 14 November 2002 Ken Dulaney What is the future technology and application path for WLANs? Will Bluetooth and 802.11 WLANs co-exist or compete? And what are the best practices for implementing and managing a WLAN?
15:30 - 16:30 14 November 2002 Matthew Boon Downsizing, together with falling communications costs, improved data bandwidths and economies of scale encourage enterprises to consolidate. Data centre consolidation together with rationalisation of applications and platforms, may lead to more effective operations, cost savings and ability to deliver services.
17:00 - 18:00 14 November 2002 Philip Sargeant This session will examine the benefits and tradeoffs of the commercial adoption of Linux within mainstream IT.
8:30 - 9:30 15 November 2002 Tom Bittman We discuss the capabilities of Windows today and over time. MS Office still dominates, but customers are restless in the wake of licensing changes, and new products and technologies may represent new choices going forward.
10:00 - 11:00 15 November 2002 Ian Bertram Tom Bittman Ken Dulaney Geoff Johnson This panel provides an overview of track specific issues collected from delegates over three days of Symposium and an action plan to take away. Moderator Ian Bertram will be joined on stage by Tom Bittman, Ken Dulaney and Geoff Johnson to debate the findings and discuss an action plan for Systems & Networking Hardware. |
