rPath "Ends IT Bottleneck" with Self-Service Application Deployment

Webinar Reveals How to Blend Speed, Control for "Zero-Latency" Deployments
RALEIGH, N.C.--(Business Wire)--
There was a time when application deployment was expected to take weeks or
months because of centralized IT policies and processes. But times are changing,
and virtualization and cloud are putting pressure on traditional IT
organizations to transform from process bottleneck to "zero-latency" service
provider. Today, there`s a new expectation that is forcing IT leadership to
rethink the relationships between "apps" and "ops" and the tools to ensure
deployment speed and control as part of a low-overhead deployment model.

In an upcoming webinar sponsored by rPath and Active Endpoints, industry experts
will explore what it takes to establish a self-service application deployment
model. Attendees will also see a demonstration of a self-service process in
action.

What: "The End of the IT Bottleneck: Blending Speed and Control with Self-Service Application Deployment" webinar

Who: Peter Varhol, principal, Technology Strategy Research; Brett Adam, vice president of engineering, rPath; and Luc Clément, senior director of product management, Active Endpoints

When: Thursday, July 16, 2009, at 2:00 p.m. Eastern time (11:00 a.m. Pacific time)
