Lou Przystas
Abstract
The deployment of virtualization at scale is driving the need to support higher service levels, efficiently and cost effectively. A new High End architecture, purpose built for virtual environments, is needed to provide more scalability, flexibility, automation, and simplicity. Learn how Symmetrix V-Max and the Virtual Matrix Architecture are redefining the High End.
Audience
This session is geared toward system and network administrators, engineers, and IT management.
Brad Bunce
Abstract
Information continues to grow at unprecedented levels, while budgets and head count remain flat. Today's challenge is not finding ways to store more, but ways to store more efficiently. Key technologies, such as unified connectivity, tiering, thin provisioning, archiving, and deduplication can help. Learn how you can get it all in a single, simple and affordable storage solution.
Audience
This session is geared toward system and network administrators, engineers, and IT management.
Brad Bunce
Abstract
Studies show up to 70% of the data you are storing is inactive. But it remains on primary storage even though it's not accessed, and it's backed up regularly even though it does not change. Archiving frees up resources while lowering costs. Today's solutions range from purpose built archive platforms, to efficient archive tiers within the array. Find out more about these options and which one is right for you.
Audience
This session is geared toward system and network administrators, engineers, and IT management.
Rob Emsley
Abstract
Today's back up challenges include managing exploding data volumes, providing higher service levels, and mitigating business risks, all while keeping costs under control. Data Deduplication is game changing backup technology that addresses these challenges. Learn more about your Deduplication options and use cases to see which strategy is right for your environment.
Audience
This session is geared toward system and network administrators, engineers, and IT management.
Rob Emsley
Abstract
Managing a virtual environment creates the “perfect storm” for the back up administrator – more data to backup, more data to move, and fewer resources to move it. See how Deduplication can help you keep your head above water by enabling fast, efficient backups that remove resource gridlock reducing backup windows by as much as to 90% with up to 98% less bandwidth.
Audience
This session is geared toward system and network administrators, engineers, and IT management.
Lou Przystas
Abstract
Information is your organizations most important asset. Using 1980 style data protection no longer supports your service levels requirements. Disk based backup provide the speed and reliability you need, combined with the flexibility to support your existing back up environment. Learn how Data Deduplication significantly reduces backup capacity to lower storage costs and improve TCO.
Audience
This session is geared toward system and network administrators, engineers, and IT management.
Speaker Name
Abstract
Information Infrastructure products and solutions that unlock VMware's full potential. Learn how supporting all products in vSphere environments, along with additional features and functionality designed specifically for VMware, EMC continues to integrate with, extend, and accelerate VMware deployments.
Audience
