The Planet, the global leader in IT
hosting, today announced its participation at the SMB Nation Fall
2008 Conference, scheduled for Oct. 4 – 6 at
the Bell Harbor International Conference Center in Seattle. The company
is a silver-level conference sponsor, and will showcase its hosting
solutions and services at Booth 201.
Finding the Perfect Hosting Provider: The Power to Choose.
Carl Meadows, senior product manager for The Planet, will deliver an
address on the first day of the conference. His presentation, scheduled
for Saturday, Oct. 4, at 1:30 p.m., is titled “Finding
the Perfect Hosting Provider: The Power to Choose.”
“Systems integrators are the trusted IT
advisors for small businesses,” said Meadows. “They
know firsthand that IT infrastructures are critical to core business
functions; likewise, hosting in a highly available facility is a
necessity for IT projects. By hosting with a company that has fully
redundant data centers, monthly server contracts and a wide range of
service options, systems integrators can expand business by building
customer relationships and recurring revenue streams.”
Meadows will also participate in a panel discussion on business and
managed services on Monday, Oct. 6, at 12 noon.
The annual SMB Nation Fall Conference is in its sixth year, and focuses
on topics relevant to small- and medium-size businesses. The two-day
event includes discussions on Software as a Service, backup and disaster
recovery services, and virtualization.
