VMworld 2011: Journey to the Cloud

In response to the increasing frequency and variety of cyber-attacks, businesses are looking to harness their volumes of security-relevant information to gain actionable and easy-to-understand information about threats and their potential and actual impact upon an organization. Many recent analyst studies reveal that senior executives are paying more attention to security than ever before and there is an increased shift towards risk management, which is driving organizations to become more proactive than reactive. Despite this, organizations continue to struggle with the technology, people and process aspects of harnessing such solutions. Join this webinar to learn how you can leverage security intelligence from your SIEM deployment for threat protection, forensics and network visibility.

Everyone is talking about the performance benefits of flash, but what about the economic benefits? Businesses are finding that they're buying flash to accelerate applications and, as a result, their IT spends are actually decreasing. Maxwell Riggsbee presents research and customer proof points illustrating the substantial difference flash is making on companies' bottom lines.

Enterprise Storage moving toward the cloud requires an interoperable interface foundation to avoid vendor lock-in and provide choice. This tutorial will provide an overview of the features of a Enterprise cloud storage standard and explain how interoperability between clouds is achieved.

What should you be requiring from your cloud vendors?
How can you expect standards to roll out in implementations?

Learning Objectives
How this cloud storage standard can achieve interoperability and what this interoperability means to you.
How you can use the cloud storage standard both internally for private clouds as well as for public clouds.

Virtualization, cloud computing, hybrid environments and BYOD are here to stay. When implemented successfully, these solutions can transform the way businesses operate and lower the OPEX and CAPEX costs of IT departments. However, these major IT trends cannot be considered separately: virtualization and cloud are often linked, and needs for anytime anywhere connectivity and mobile workforce enablement won't wait. This is why it's essential to have a holistic approach and address the business, technology and financial implications of today for tomorrow's needs.


Dell has quickly become one of the largest and fastest growing networking providers in the world by leveraging its extensive expertise in the data center to build a complete portfolio of switches that are designed to be open, flexible, powerful and economical.

Server CPU performance is scaling exponentially and will do so for the foreseeable future. During the same period, however, the throughput and bandwidth performance of enterprise-class 15K RPM SAS drives has essentially remained flat, creating a storage performance gap, a key motivator for deploying solid state storage to alleviate I/O bottlenecks.

Join this webinar and learn how to accelerate application performance and optimize your end-to-end storage fabric by deploying a best of breed solution from EMC, Emulex and Brocade.

This talk will cover several current topics in big data and specific analytic use cases, outlining the challenges and opportunities in the field, as well as the ethics of big data analytics. The use of Hadoop and associated toolsets, along with optimal HDFS architecture for analysis problems at scale, will be discussed and best practices outlined.

Live from HP Discover 2013, Frank Nishimori, Technical Consultant, will be announcing new HP products as they're released and the vision of where storage is headed.
