One Private Cloud

First, let me say that I have a webinar to discuss these concepts in more detail on 9/20/11.  It will be recorded and available on our website: www.advance2000.com if you can not attend live.

Here's the link to register: https://www3.gotomeeting.com/register/780300062

What if you moved your entire IT infrastructure and people to one location?  Now imagine what would happen if many firms moved their IT to the same location.  What would that look like?  How could this sharing drive economies of scale and commodity pricing?

In this webinar, we'll look at all aspects of your IT and how it will be changing: datacenter, WAN, Internet, Storage, Servers, Applications, Databases, Desktops, PBX, Security, IT Staffing, and Business to Business ecommerce.

Your IT is no longer strategic--rather how your business USES IT that makes it strategic and differentiates you.

Join us for this thought-provoking webinar led by Chris France, President Advance2000 NC
