'Breaking Boundaries' will explore the future of global networking, discussing strategic topics as diverse as 10G and intelligent patching
Doha, Qatar - SYSTIMAX Solutions?, the worldwide leader in structured connectivity solutions and services for businesses, will be hosting 'Breaking Boundaries' in Doha on 20th September. This conference is designed for anyone involved in the planning, design or specification of network connectivity infrastructure. Being held in conjunction with its global distribution partner ANIXTER, the event is particularly pertinent given Qatar's push towards a knowledge-based economy and its booming construction industry.
The half-day event will take place at the state-of-the-art ASPIRE Academy for Sports Excellence and will examine the cutting edge of UTP, fiber and copper connectivity technologies as well as standards, issues and drivers underpinning 10 Gigabit over UTP. The conference will also discuss the latest trends in the cabling industry and this year will look specifically at intelligent patching and datacenter design, among others. Rounding off the event will be a presentation delivered by Soubhi Abdulkarim, ASPIRE's IT Manager delving into the Academy's search for a suitable infrastructure solution.
"Our vision at ASPIRE is to build top athletes and a stronger sports culture in the country. In today's sporting environment technology plays a vital role in the development of athletes so it was imperative that we create a solid infrastructure that would form the foundation upon which to deploy technologies critical to athletic success," said Abdulkarim. "I believe the ASPIRE experience will hold a lot of resonance amongst Qatari organizations seeking to maximize their return on investment in IT-based technologies and it is something we are willing to share."
The conference is open to all IT and network professionals interested in network technology trends, innovations and the latest developments that will directly impact their businesses, including 10 Gigabit Ethernet.
Dominic Morris, Regional Sales Director, Middle East and North Africa SYSTIMAX Solutions, comments: "In 2004 we saw the networking industry take a huge step forward with the announcement that 10 Gigabit over UTP is now available. The main thrust of this conference will demonstrate exactly what this means to end-users, especially those responsible for data centers. The conference also offers an open and informed environment to those in the industry who wish to have an unrivalled opportunity to learn about the latest trends, such intelligent patching, along with many common problems and innovative solutions to those problems."
