TechFest offers two tracks – Infrastructure and Collaboration. Here's an overview of what you'll gain by attending.

Infrastructure Track
Focusing on the core service capabilities found in Open Enterprise Server 2, you'll learn how to deploy and manage advanced file services, cluster services on Linux, and integrate Active Directory and eDirectory environments in a way that makes it easy for all IT administrators to perform their daily responsibilities.

Collaboration Track
Collaboration is a significant disruptor to virtually every organization today. The proliferation of Facebook, MySpace, Linkedin, and other social networking venues being leveraged by more and more corporate employees demands attention on management.

Providing structure to this somewhat unstructured approach to communication is a challenge, and must be integrated with the more formal Enterprise Messaging platforms already deployed at the heart of organizations. This track will focus on these issues – and help you to assist your customers in achieving their messaging platform objectives.
