There's still time to register for next week's Oracle + Intel Road Show in Dublin. The event has been a big success across Europe so far - the recent London date was sold out with 150 attendees.

The Dublin event though, as it's hosted at Intel, will be ending with a tour of their chip manufacturing plant, unless you prefer to chill out with a drink and do some networking instead.

One last thing if you're in planning to attend, don't forget you can still submit discussion topics to the existing agenda.

Here are the details of the show again:

From Virtualisation To Cloud Computing: Beyond The Buzzwords

Time: 12noon - 6pm
Date: Thursday 13th May, 2010
Venue: Intel Ireland, Collinstown Industrial Park, Leixlip, Co. Kildare

Description:

Virtualisation and Cloud Computing are the hottest topics in IT for a good reason: they can deliver increased business potential and large cost savings. Although the promise of success is huge, so is the chance of failure. The main reason: with so many variables it is very hard to find the optimal model for your specific business situation.

Oracle and Intel invite you to see how you can eliminate the risk and guesswork and remove the challenges of getting it all to work properly for your organisation.
