Lexington, MA, October 17, 2006—BladeLogic, Inc., the
leading provider of next-generation data center automation software, announced
today that it will host a webinar on Thursday, October 19th, 2006 at 11:30 a.m.

Relocation Projects.” The presenters will include Christopher McDaniel,

With the advent of virtualization, cost control initiatives and today’s
distributed computing paradigm, more and more IT organizations have undertaken
server consolidation and/or data center relocation initiatives in order to keep
pace with increasing IT and business demands. By doing so, these organizations
have been able to:
• Significantly expand and upgrade their data center server and application
infrastructure
• Decrease the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of their IT infrastructure
by reducing staff and hardware costs through server consolidation
• Identify means to consolidate server infrastructure using virtualization
to control the number of servers
• Improve business continuity to ensure data center replication capabilities
• Quickly integrate server and application infrastructures due to key
business events such as mergers/acquisitions, expansions, business downturn
and new partners
In this webinar, McDaniel and Mann will discuss some of the challenges IT organizations
face with data center relocation and server consolidation from configuration
management and compliance assurance perspectives, such as:
• How to ensure that the relocated server/application infrastructure is
compliant with the baselines used during the move or relocation
• Best practices for Logical, Physical and Rationalized server consolidation
• If the driver for the move or relocation is business continuity, how
to ensure continuous compliance between primary and secondary sites
• How to integrate server/application infrastructures across data centers
if consolidation is a driver for the move or relocation
• How to seamlessly migrate the necessary IT controls to ensure compliance
across security, operational and regulatory requirements
