The IT Services Site to Focus on Datacenters' Biggest Pain Points

New IBM-sponsored Website digs into server consolidation and integration; storage optimization; and datacenter design, construction, management, and strategy

Nov 7, 2011

NEW YORK, Nov. 7, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- DeusM, the integrated marketing services arm of UBM, today launched The IT Services Site, a new Website built around the key technologies in today's datacenters and how to derive more benefits and efficiencies from them.

Long-time technology journalist James M. Connolly has been named editor in chief of the new site. Connolly was most recently a senior staff writer at Mass High Tech; he was also executive editor and editorial director at TechTarget Inc.

The new community-based Website will consist of blogs, message boards, live chats, white papers, and other educational resources to help readers address specific pain points within their datacenters. The community will be supplemented by a presence on Facebook, Twitter (@TheITServicesSite), and LinkedIn.

"IT decisionmakers have their hands full trying to fine-tune their networks to handle the demands of virtualization and storage networking, as well as prepare for the advent of cloud computing," says Connolly. "The IT Services Site is a solutions-based destination to help them integrate and optimize the critical elements of their datacenters."

The site is published by DeusM, a UBM company. IBM is the exclusive sponsor of The IT Services Site.
