Gear6, accelerating I/O for real time application performance, will present at the Pacific Crest Data Center 3.0 Conference on February 29, at the Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco. The conference is the second day of the two-day Pacific Crest Emerging Technology Summit that provides attendees with forward-looking views into two of technology’s most rapidly changing markets: on-demand software and the data center. It includes presentations from 40 leading data center companies; an announcement of the Pacific Crest Mosaic Data Center survey results; and IT decision-maker panel discussions.

• Virtualization
• Automation
• Advanced Storage/Compute/Memory Appliances
• Green IT & Grid Clustering
• Web 2.0 Infrastructure Automation
