-How IT organizations can prepare for and take advantage of PCI Express 
-Q&A 
PCI Express technology, the pervasive I/O high-speed interconnect technology will appear in your 
mobile, desktop, communications, and server platforms. Awareness of this technology transition and 
its pervasive effects on technology platforms will assist IT managers with planning for PCI Express 
deployments. 
Emerging and future computing models are showing signs that there will be significant increases in 
the demand for I/O to help sustain the performance of new platforms. Server, storage, and network 
form factors are becoming more dense and being powered by more powerful chip architectures. 
Customers are demanding that IT systems suppliers help them build more cost effective computing 
infrastructures that are highly flexible, reliable, stable, and scalable. 
As a manager of IT resources, hear what opportunities are available with PCI Express enabled 
systems and adapters. 
As an industry channel partner, hear what the opportunities for you are as we outline the growing 
eco-system for PCI Express. 
Please extend this invitation to anyone in your group who may benefit from attending the webcast.
