ORIGINAL PROGRAM INFORMATION
The Silicon Valley World Internet Center is offering this invitation-only
Executive Briefing on behalf of one of its Executive Sponsors, Cable
& Wireless, and in collaboration with Nortel Networks. It is geared
specifically to the business needs of large, multi-national companies
with multiple sites that require internetworking and have remote/traveling
workers who need to access their corporate network securely. This
session is pertinent to IT directors, managers of information systems
and executives managing security and IT needs. There is no charge
for participation; however, registration is required as space is
limited.
This Briefing will help you understand the factors affecting your
decision to deploy a Virtual Private Network (VPN) for the benefit
of your company, partners, suppliers, and customers. The Briefing
will include presentations by Senior Industry Analyst, Jim Slaby
from Giga Information Group, and David Lowe, Director of IP Network
Services for Cable & Wireless' US division. Additionally, the Briefing
will bring top representatives from Nortel Networks to discuss best-of-breed
technologies around VPNs.
Businesses undergoing changes, either due to market pressures,
acquisitions or geographical expansion, continually need to evaluate
next steps and alternatives for their corporate networks. In doing
so, IT departments need to meet the current business challenges
of increasing network security, reducing costs and providing access
to remote workers.
During this interactive session, learn from industry leaders and
discuss business challenges with your peers. Additionally, you will
have the opportunity to meet, one-on-one, with Cable & Wireless
experts to discuss your company's specific challenges and to identify
the building blocks for a successful solution to your communication
needs.
