Vogel IT Media launches its new online information portal on the topic of IT infrastructure: SearchDataCenter.de

Today, the beta version of the first ever German website focussing on the topic of "IT infrastructure" goes online

Augsburg/Germany, June 4, 2007


SearchDataCenter.de (full address: www.SearchDataCenter.de) is the fourth in a series of online information platforms which Vogel IT Media has brought out in conjunction with the US publishing company, TechTarget. This new information portal will provide concrete answers to the individual questions which IT infrastructure professionals have. Among other things, the site will cover such explosive issues as energy efficiency in computing centers, the planning of virtual eco-systems, vulnerable weak spots in consolidated server infrastructures and security issues relating to innovative solution concepts for corporation-wide business installations.


Germany's IT managers are facing important investment decisions if they want to ensure that their companies are properly equipped to continue to meet the business world's requirements in the future. Because SearchDataCenter.de has a very strong thematic focus and provides all the relevant information needed for each and every step of the procurement process, it will give IT decision-makers huge support in finding the solution they are looking for.


"Users of the website will find that its hot-off-the-press news, white papers, webcasts, downloads and case studies, not to mention a comprehensive data bank of suppliers and products from the website's data centre, will give them competent, topic-related support all the way from the planning phase and decision-making right through to implementing the investment," explains Werner Nieberle, Managing Director of Vogel IT Media. "Because topic areas are micro-segmented and thanks also to the site's additional features including individual newsletters, RSS feeds and search machine facilities, users of the website will find it a great help in researching products.


"We see ourselves as an independent, knowledgeable guide in this segment of IT which is of such a very critical nature in corporate decision-making," comments Achim B.C. Karpf, Editor-in-Chief of SearchDataCenter.de. "We have aggregated top-quality content covering all the decision-making processes of relevance to IT professionals."


Ulrich Roderer, editor at SearchDataCenter.de, describes the site as follows: "There are almost 1,000 articles - including news, specialist features, background articles, practice-based tests and interviews - all available for users to download as of today. Such well-known names as AMD, Citrix, Fujitsu Siemens, Hewlett Packard, Intel, Microsoft, VMware and many others are also already presenting their products and solutions at the SearchDataCenter.de website.
