If you've ever surveyed a computer room full of haphazardly placed systems, their ssociated I/ O, UPS, communication gear and seemingly hundreds of cables in gordian knots; and realized it was YOUR computer room; this session is for you.

Mark Olson and Jim Oberholtzer team up to provide both vendor and hands-on user insights into racking choices for your System i configuration of any size. Mark is a vetern IBMer who is the author of the most popular System i racking IBM reading material and Jim Oberholtzer is a highly experienced hands-on implementer of many, many shops using racking. The two speakers provide great information on racking's good/ bad/ ugly decision.

By the end of this session, attendees will be able to:
1. Describe System i racking options.
2. Relate these options to your shop.
