The benefits of running industry standard servers have been well publicized. Typically providing more performance, better performance per watt, and lower capital and operating costs than proprietary systems – there’s a lot to like about these servers. Plus you have access to the latest technology, which is updated more frequently than proprietary systems, as well as access to more operating environments, applications, and IT staff. But change can be difficult and risky – as supported by the old adage – “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”

In today’s world, however, simply being “not broke” is not good enough. Organizations demand that IT delivers the performance needed and controls costs – all the time. With the benefits around industry standards abounding, it’s the actual migration process that has kept many organizations from “fixing” things and moving to more effective and efficient environments.

Join experts from Dell, Intel, and Principled Technologies in this informative eSeminar to learn more about the big benefits and surprising ease of migrating from RISC-based systems to industry standard servers. You’ll hear about the real-world testing and experiences of migrating your OS and applications from RISC systems to Intel® Xeon® processor systems and gain valuable insights from those who have done the work and helped organizations similar to yours make the migration.
