Special Presentation: "Comparing Server Architectures"


Dr. Gururaj Rao, zSeries Chief Design Engineer and IBM Fellow

Dr. Gururaj Rao is an IBM Fellow, the highest honor awared to an IBM technical contributor. Working through the dramatic decline and rebirth of the mainframe during the eighties and early nineties, Dr. Rao was a key technical leader at IBM responsible for the S/390's resurrection. Now he is focused on solidifying the zSeries e-Server's position as the backbone for e-business, at the same time articulating the long-term strategy for this highly-strategic server. Dr. Rao is an energetic speaker and brings with him a wealth of knowledge about enterprise servers in general, and IBM's specific plans for e-Servers.
