IBM Facility-Hillside Location

Conference Overview

This pre-sales technical training conference combines both lecture and technical lab sessions to give the participant a well rounded experience. Lectures focus on selling the IBM DS5000/DS4000/DS3000 series hardware, software and premium features.  Participants also learn how to position these products against the competition.  The lab sessions provide hands-on experience and pre-sales technical knowledge and teach how to utilize the DS5000/DS4000 Storage Manager.
