CANTON, Mass., Jan. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Expanding its focus on the North American data center marketplace, CrossTech Media today announced that the third annual BladeSystems Insight will include a special session on The Next Data Center as part of its April 19-21, 2009 event in Phoenix, Arizona. The program will set the stage for the national series of The Next Data Center one-day summits to take place in key cities across the United States.

"Our recent acquisition of BladeSystems Insight, the premier blade server event, has put us in position to use the platform of this uniquely successful brand to launch The Next Data Center Summit series," says Nick Saber, President of CrossTech Media. "Each summit will offer its own advantages as a standalone event but will deliver even more value when used in combination by IT vendors as part of an overall data center strategy."

An industry-defining event, BladeSystems Insight continues to grow exponentially as the premier summit focused on blade servers and systems, virtualization, power and cooling and other core data center technologies. It is an annual national event that takes place over two and a half days and provides a travel participation package for a C-level audience of IT executives. The Next Data Center is a series of regional one-day summits that will attract an audience of IT executives starting in June 2009 in Dallas, October 2009 in Chicago, and March 2010 in Atlanta.

For vendors, both BladeSystems Insight and The Next Data Center represent invitation-only events that bring together IT and business executives from the leading enterprises driving investments in key data center technologies. Both are focused on high-end, one-to-one business interaction between solution providers and executive-level attendees.

"This is an ideal opportunity for our vendor partners to build an integrated national and regional campaign to reach a significant percentage of all end-user data center spending," says Paul Samargedlis, Vice President of Business Development for CrossTech Forums. "With the portfolio of these two brands plus our year-round webinars, CrossTech now offers solution providers guaranteed access to top-tier data center budget-holders from the enterprise to the SMB market."
