Explore IT infrastructure for digital transformation at Think 2018
Cloud, analytics, blockchain and digital transformation initiatives are generating significant new opportunities for – and demands on – IT infrastructure. IT leaders need to deliver greater performance and scalability than ever to meet these digital-age demands while also providing the security required to protect against internal and external threats.
Meeting these demands requires agile and innovative solutions that disrupt IT infrastructure. IBM Z is this transformational platform for the digital age, enabling the trust that powers the new virtual economy. And IBM LinuxONE is the latest open-source server, built on mainframe technology that delivers exceptional digital experiences in multicloud environments.
Discover how to optimize and innovate your infrastructure at IBM Think 2018, taking place March 19-22 in Las Vegas, Nevada. At this first-of-its-kind event, industry leaders, product developers, IBM Business Partners and clients will gather at the Modern Infrastructure campus to share ideas and experiences.
At Think you’ll discover how organizations are leveraging IBM Z and LinuxONE to drive new levels of performance and cost efficiency while optimizing data security. Core session presentations include:
Accelerating digital business transformation in the cloud data center: To meet the demands that digital transformation creates, company leaders need to rethink the way they leverage their IT infrastructure, transforming IT from a cost center to a profit center while supporting innovation and creating value. Hear from industry leaders, IBM clients and experts on how IBM Z is accelerating their digital transformations.
Mission possible – avoiding data breach headlines: Learn how IBM Z helps prevent breaches, earn trust and ensure compliance. Industry experts will demonstrate how IBM’s unique pervasive encryption approach transforms data protection and compliance. For example, Garrett McDonald, CTO of Australia’s Department of Human Services, will share how IBM Z helps deliver services to a majority of Australian citizens while ensuring data security and privacy.
Machine learning for smarter insights: Find out how to build intelligence into everything you do while avoiding added cost and latency. Data is your new source of business value.
