IT Central Station Launches Enterprise Tech’s First Crowdsourced Online Knowledge Exchange By Real Users for Real Users

PeerPanel™ event series provides an online platform for real users of enterprise technology to share opinions and experiences in an objective, vendor-neutral environment

New York, NY, December 18, 2012 – New York-based startup IT Central Station today announced the launch of PeerPanel™, an exclusive series of online events in which real users share their candid, real-life experiences researching, selecting and using enterprise technology products and services. The introduction of PeerPanel™ is the latest expansion of IT Central Station’s social networking platform to offer enterprise technology professionals unfettered access to objective, unbiased information when making buying decisions for technology products and services.

The first PeerPanel™ event, scheduled for January 8 at 12pm ET, is on the topic “Server Virtualization: A User Perspective Roundtable” and includes a panel of real server virtualization users that will discuss the pros and cons of various solutions, tips and tricks, and the secrets they have learned along the way. The panelists will discuss their experiences with virtualization products offered by VMware, Citrix, Red Hat, Oracle, Microsoft and other vendors. The event is not sponsored by any vendor, so the panelists and participants are free to share their opinions in an open, free dialogue.

Registration for the webinar is free and can be accessed at: http://bit.ly/SJn7uB. The first 200 registrants for the event will receive a free whitepaper "Server Virtualization Secrets: A Peek at What Users Really Think."

“In a market that is saturated with vendor marketing messages, enterprise technology professionals tell us that their #1 priority during a purchasing process is to tap into the knowledge and insights from peers who have already gone through the process,” said Russell Rothstein, co-founder and CEO of IT Central Station. “We are proud to offer this new channel for enterprise technology professionals to share knowledge to make the best buying decision.”

Upcoming PeerPanel™ events are scheduled to cover topics including cloud computing, Big Data, BYOD, network management, security software, CRM and social enterprise platforms. To nominate real users to present at an upcoming PeerPanel event, send email to peerpanel@itcentralstation.com.
