Conference: Application Delivery Track

Jim Metzler Track Chair:
Jim Metzler

Vice President
Ashton, Metzler & Associates

Today, the vast majority of IT organizations plans and manages each component of the IT infrastructure in relative isolation. That approach is based on the flawed assumption that if each component of IT is performing well, then the application will perform well. Many IT organizations have begun to shift away from that approach and are now adopting an approach that focuses not on silos of technology, but on the delivery of applications. This track will identify the challenges associated with application delivery and will detail the key technologies and services that will enable you to be successful with application delivery.
