Date: 11th Nov 2015
Venue: Marco Pierre White Steakhouse, The Cube, 200 Wharfside Street, Birmingham, B1 1PR
The CBR Dining Club goes sky high at The Marco Pierre White Steakhouse Bar & Grill On the 25th floor of The Cube in the mailbox district of the city. With spectacular views across the city and a Private Dining experience to match, CBR is pleased to announce this fabulous evening in the heart of Birmingham.
In keeping with what we hear from all of our readers, all IT initiatives need a sound control on costs. This evening will discuss topics including :-
• Identifying technological and market trends responsible for driving up TCO.
• IT becoming a broker of internal and external services behaviour changes and challenging IT traditions in order to deliver superior costs.
• Technical areas where we are making the same (economic) mistakes around big data, VM, hyper converged and all-flash systems; focusing too much on price and not enough on cost.
• Transforming IT to be a profit centre not a cost centre.
Joining us will be David Merrill, Chief Economist , Hitachi Data Systems who has developed a number of award winning white papers and methodologies in the Storage marketplace over the last 15 years.
All of this within the context of an exquisite Private Dining setting, great debate with your peers and fantastic networking. So choose the location that’s best for you and reserve your seat today.
We look forward to sharing a great evening with you.
