Waltham, MA, March 6, 2006—BladeLogic, Inc., the leading provider of data center automation software, announced today that it will host a webinar, Thursday, March 9, 2006 at 10:00 a.m. (ET) entitled, “Optimizing Data Center Operations for Greater Service Availability and Higher Customer Satisfaction.” The presenters will include Gary Madders, Director of Data Center Services, U.K. Outsourcing, Capgemini, and Peter O'Neill, Analyst, Forrester Research.
While data centers are often seen as cost centers, they can also be optimized so that they can actually serve as revenue drivers. For example, in service provider organizations data centers serve as critical revenue drivers by providing the platforms for service offerings. In order to improve contribution margins from these offerings and achieve higher customer satisfaction, these data centers need to be optimally operated to economize costs while providing highly available services. Service provider organizations routinely cite high pressures to be responsive to customer requests and make their operations agile while maintaining and improving overall service availability.
In this webinar, Madders and O'Neill will explain how service provider and other IT organizations can:
| • | Manage the configuration lifecycle of key services in a data center |
| • | Integrate configuration change and compliance assurance disciplines in a data center operation to balance responsiveness and stability |
| • | Optimize data center operations to reduce costs and improve availability |
Date: Thursday, March 9, 2006
