TRACK 1: BIG DATA

Choosing a Data Warehousing Platform: leveraging Greenplum to become a data driven business

Abstract

With the size and significance of enterprise information at an all-time high, big data analytics can drive dramatic transformation and competitive advantage. EMC Greenplum Database and Hadoop products represent the industry's only complete big data analytics "stack" for working successfully with both structured and unstructured data, batch and real-time processing, and powerful data collaboration. Learn how your data can deliver greater value than ever before possible.

Introduction to Isilon and Scale-out NAS

Abstract

Learn the concepts and ease of engineered storage simplicity, Isilon style. This session provides a broad overview of the instant capital and operational efficiencies which Isilon's scale-out NAS portfolio can bring to your IT environment. Learn how Isilon enables you to focus on the data and liberates you from wrestling with the complexity of traditional storage.

Manage Distributed Big Data in the Cloud: EMC Atmos

Abstract

Technology drives change, and change requires a transformation in the way we manage information. Projections indicate that 90 percent of all new content data will be unstructured by the year 2020. Are you prepared to manage the growth? What's your plan for managing big data in the cloud? Join us to discuss how the cloud-based architecture of EMC Atmos is purpose-built to manage your big data.

Enhanced Data Protection for Big Data Environments

Abstract

The benefits of deduplication alone are no longer enough to meet increasingly complex backup requirements. A successful next-generation backup strategy requires a fully integrated backup solution that can protect your entire environment within limited backup windows. Explore the performance, scale, and simplicity advantages from integration of EMC Data Domain with EMC NetWorker and EMC Avamar.

TRACK 2: CLOUD

Complete virtualisation solutions made easy with EMC unified storage

Abstract

Today's enterprise IT needs intelligent automation beyond the storage system to accelerate its journey to the cloud. Learn how you can maximize performance AND lower costs—without compromise. We'll discuss the real-world impact of the EMC VNX family of unified storage and how you can cost-effectively manage the "long tail" of data from the data center to the cloud.

The Virtual Data Center of the Future: VMAX and VPLEX

Abstract

Explosive data growth is creating new requirements for improving how information is managed and stored. New opportunities exist to radically transform the way information is delivered and consumed. Virtualizing, automating, and federating infrastructure resources make these next-generation IT services possible. Learn more about the strategy and roadmap for building the virtual data center of the future, big data, and cloud computing.

Trust in the Cloud

Abstract

The IT industry is facing an opportunity to use the cloud to transform IT infrastructures, applications, and information management. However, before we can believe that the cloud is safe for real business, we need a secure foundation of dynamic controls and trustworthy measurement. This session explains key issues in enabling secure, compliant, and trusted cloud computing.

Accelerate your virtualisation journey with backup built for VMware

Abstract

IT must think differently about backup in virtualized environments. This session will cover how you can achieve faster and more efficient VMware guest- and image-level backup and recovery. Learn about EMC Avamar management integration with VMware vCenter, and explore the advantages of leveraging the VMware vStorage API for Data Protection. See how Avamar is implemented for large VMware deployments, and how best to back up and recover in a VCE vBlock environment.
