As I mentioned last week, we’re ramping up the frequency of webinars here at the WHIR. Yesterday we had a great presentation from Neustar on traffic management and its UltraDNS collection of products. And we’ve got another one lined up for next week.
(If you want to cut to the chase and register, follow this link straight to the webinar registration page)
Next Wednesday – November 18, at 2:00 p.m. Eastern time – we’ll be hosting a panel discussion sponsored by TelecityGroup, in which we’ll discuss the specific experiences of The Planet and Proofpoint – a hosting provider and email security and archiving provider, respectively – as they expanded their data center operations into Europe.
The lengthy title: “How The Planet and Proofpoint Accelerated Growth in Europe by Outsourcing Data Center Requirements to a European Specialist”
Panelists will include Will Charnock, vice president of technology at The Planet; Alexei Rodriguez, senior director of operations and IT at Proofpoint; and Rob Coupland, COO of TelecityGroup.
Specifically, we’ll be looking at how these companies were able to expand their businesses internationally by moving into European data centers. They’ll discuss their experience in choosing a data center and provide some insight into that process, as well as some of the service benefits of operating facilities in Europe when serving international customers. They’ll also discuss the experience of having the local support of Telecity in setting up shop, and lessons learned along the way.
I’m excited about the panelists, and the format. It should be great, and it’ll only get better if you participate by logging in for the presentation and putting your own questions about the process to the panelists.
So I’m going to ask you to do me a two-parter personal favor: 1) head over to the webinar registration page right now and sign up; 2) attend the presentation and submit some excellent and thought-provoking questions for our panelists.
See you on Wednesday.
