FOREWORD Welcome to NETCOMMS Europe! Hello there!
Spring is in the air, leaves are back on the trees and across the land people are readjusting to the unfamiliar sight of the sun in the sky. But the weather is not the only thing that’s changing …
Change is a theme which keeps cropping up in this issue of NETCOMMS Europe. Technology within the network and data communication industry is evolving at an ever faster rate, from data centre cooling to cabling and monitoring. But perhaps more importantly, end user behaviour is changing. IT business practices must respond to this, or face being left behind. Read on to find out more.
In this issue, we’re also bringing you the usual range of news and case studies, plus features and expert comment on wireless networking, Voice over IP, and virtualisation.
It is an exciting time for the industry, and it has never been more important to be well informed. Luckily, all you need to know is within these pages.
And if you really want to be in the know, don’t forget to sign up for COMMS EXPO 2011, which takes place at the Barbican in London on 28th and 29th of June 2011. With a range of world class speakers and exhibitors (and free entry) you really can’t afford to miss it.
Best Regards, Jens Schindler
