IRVINE, Calif., Oct. 11, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Vision Solutions, the industry standard in eServer High Availability, in conjunction with IBM and iSeries News, has announced the "Continuity, Compliance, Consolidation" seminars, a three-city road show focusing on the evolving requirements of safeguarding information technology. Keynote speakers include Frank Soltis, chief scientist of IBM, who is affectionately referred to as the "Godfather of the iSeries", Wayne Madden, the editor in chief of iSeries News, and Henry Martinez, chief technology officer for Vision Solutions.
This road show was created to address the needs of technology and business executives who are striving to safeguard their businesses and comply with increasing regulatory mandates. These compliance regulations require controls and processes for saving data, creating and maintaining audit trails and archives, and ensuring business continuity. Vision Solutions, IBM and iSeries News have joined together on this road show to help executives understand current and proposed regulations and how they affect IT.
"Regulatory compliance and IT consolidation are driving a clear and immediate need for information and application continuity," said Henry Martinez, chief technology officer of Vision Solutions. "Recent disasters, such as Katrina and Rita, have also highlighted the need for organizations to have strong plans and technologies in place for information and application continuity and survival."
"Our readers turn to us as an expert source for information affecting iSeries users. Of the many issues they face today, none are more important and more intertwined than compliance, consolidation and continuity," said Wayne Madden, editor-in-chief of iSeries News. "I'm excited to be a part of this panel and to educate users on these pressing issues that affect their business."
