Modernize Your Software Development Process

The amount of data that organizations collect has grown tremendously over the last decade. With this comes increasing challenges for organizations in the way that they store, access and govern data effectively so the correct groups of people have access to the data they need. Yet, many of the traditional ways of dealing with data create bottlenecks, silos and data trust issues. Through providing more widespread access and control of data – known as democratization -- companies can remove the bottleneck to data access, improve employee knowledge and remove data silos.
 
In this panel, experts discuss the technologies and tools that can help make data accessible, usable and manageable for a wide range of users and stakeholders.
 
Join us to hear about:
--Business intelligence and analytics tools
--Self-service analytics
--Data virtualization
--Data visualization
--Augmented analytics

Enabling Data Accessibility

Researchers have estimated that the world will create 463 exabytes of data daily by 2025 – that equals 463 billion gigabytes per day. And as that data becomes more and more distributed, managing and making use of it is extremely complex. Businesses need to evolve their technology stack to handle the volume and variety of data available to them, and they need to implement the infrastructure capable of doing that work, often in real or near real time.
 
This panel of experts explores how to choose the best data architecture to fit your business needs, delving into the rapidly evolving options.
 
Join us to learn:
--How to assess data architecture needs from a business point of view
--Pros and cons of data warehouses, lakes and lakehouses 
--The difference between data fabrics and data mesh

The Need for a New Cloud Operating Model

As businesses are developing rapidly, many cloud consumers find that a single public/private cloud or traditional on-premises data center no longer meets service requirements. Hybrid clouds, especially, are gaining more traction as cloud customers increasingly understand that using public clouds or private clouds alone poses certain limitations. Hybrid cloud is often the starting point for organizations to get started on the cloud journey. However, hybrid clouds pose different risks and thus introduce a different set of challenges to security.

This presentation will: 
- Provide the overview of hybrid cloud. 
- Demonstrate risks of using the hybrid cloud.
- Threats and vulnerabilities. 
- Hybrid cloud use cases.

Hybrid Cloud and Its Associated Risks

We are typically accustomed to buying cloud subscriptions from a cloud service provider (CSP) and managed services from a managed services provider (MSP). 

With the increased offerings from CSPs, these lines are now increasingly blurring. Which cloud services still need managed services? Cloud service providers like AWS are now starting to provide their own managed services. With so many options available to customers what should they focus on? What is hype? What is reality? Where do we go from here?

Emerging Trend: Will Cloud Providers Also Become Managed Service Providers?

As our lives and businesses become increasingly digital, demand generated as a result of this
digital transformation and virtualization will reveal the importance of Data Centers in the
effectiveness and functionality of our world now more than ever. By dramatically increasing
density and scale of workloads in Data Centers we subsequently increase the significances of
potential physical infrastructure failures. The success of every business is ultimately built on the
physical foundation of Data Center Infrastructure, whether that infrastructure is on-premise, off-
premise, or hybrid. Optimization of a Data Center should not by any means compromise physical
& logical security, data availability, operational scalability, agility, innovation and technology
economics among other possible risk. Proactive look at the Data Center Optimization
opportunities, Data Center managers can better enable the organizations they serve to succeed
in an increasingly tech-centric world while they continue to pursue the opportunities offered by
virtualization, the cloud, and software-defined IT infrastructure.

Data Centers Optimization in Rapid Growing Digital Economy & A Virtualized World

Distributed Cloud Computing: Next Frontier of Hybrid Cloud Landscape

Data is fundamental to make informed and verified business decisions. Business data comes in a wide variety of formats, and data in all its forms is highly valuable to owners and to enterprises. Building and managing a modern data center requires awareness of new trends and technologies as data center infrastructure gets more and more complex. Data storage complexity is a key factor and largely determines the data center operational efficiency, data availability, and the response time. Layered structure and modular implementation would significantly increase the data center performance, meanwhile non supervised machine learning may contribute to embedding logical optimization techniques to store, reconfigure and reorganize the classified information.

Optimizing Data Center Infrastructure

In this presentation, we will describe:
SystemReady and its SR and LS bands for data centers
* Specifications and test suite updates
* Open source efforts
* Certification requirements and process
* Major compliance issues and what to do
* Certified systems and what to do

Sustainably Powering the Data Centre Through Innovative Technologies and Ways of Working

Sustainably Powering the Data Centre Through Innovative Technologies

Modern technology continues to create larger and larger volumes of data.  First we have ever increasing levels of precision in the macro and micro whelms of Scientific Visualization with big decimals and many values before and after the decimal point.  Molecular Biology and genetics are also creating large libraries of genomes, proteins, and pattern matches within DNA and RNA transcripts.

The second area of growth and complexity includes proliferation of devices from IoT and sensors, to phones and tablets, to data centers, cloud, and hybrid environments.  As technology continues to evolve, we can expect these interactions to increase exponentially and the number of devices continues to grow.  These devices often need to work together in complex coordinated ways to process data into information for presentation to systems and users that consume them

A third trend that is ever present is increased volumes of Network Traffic.  Web sites continue to grow in length and complexity with larger footprint in terms of number of pages, and pages themselves growing larger every day.  Increased analytics also contribute as businesses want to know where there traffic is being directed, and consumer trends that indicate buying activities.

These and other trends are driving the need for Next Generation Storage Strategies to overcome challenges in a fast paced Digital world.

Summary
• Increasing Volumes of Data and Precision
• Proliferation of Devices and Data Sources
• Complex Environments – Network Traffic

Data, Data Everywhere
