LOS ALTOS, CA--(Marketwire - October 15, 2008) - Liquid Computing, developer of the world's
first fully converged communications and computing platform, today
announced the Data Center Excellence Executive Leadership Report Series, a
framework providing executives with an approach to align the investment and
support of their data centers into their organization's overall strategic
planning and objectives.
As part of Liquid Computing's ongoing effort to educate the industry on the
merits of converged communications, computing and storage, the leadership
series will provide executives with a clear understanding of the business
ramifications of the evolving data center. Designed to reveal the pillars
of a framework for deriving greater value from data center investments, the
reports will tie the operational aspects of building, running, and growing
a data center to the strategic goals of the business.
"Data center costs were spiraling out of control even before the current
economic crisis challenged companies to figure out how to grow and stay
competitive in the face of tighter budgets," said Greg McElheran, CEO of
Liquid Computing. "The answer is to completely rethink how the data center
gets built, and the Data Center Excellence Executive Leadership Report
Series will explain in business terms how a converged communications,
computing and storage platform transforms the data center cost structure by
requiring dramatically less hardware while delivering significantly greater
simplicity and reliability."
This series of executive level reports will be released on a regular basis
beginning with this newly released "Business Drivers for Data Center
Excellence" foundation report. Supporting pillar report topics and the
release schedule is noted below. To view the reports please visit the
