Everything You Wanted To Know about Storage: Getting from Here to There

There is a new wave of cognitive services based on video and image analytics, leveraging the latest in machine learning and deep learning. In this webcast, we will look at some of the benefits and factors driving this adoption, as well as explore compelling projects and required components for a successful video-based cognitive service. This includes some great work in the open source community to provide methods and frameworks, some standards that are being worked on to unify the ecosystem and allow interoperability with models and architectures. Finally, we’ll cover the data required to train such models, the data source and how it needs to be treated.

However, there are challenges in how we do this. Many archives were analog and tape based which doesn’t stand up well to mass ingestion or the back and forth of training algorithms. How can we start to define new architectures and leverage the right medium to make our archives accessible whilst still focusing on performance at the point of capture?

We will discuss:

•New and interesting use cases driving adoption of video analytics as a cognitive service
•Work in the open source arena on new frameworks and standards
•Modernizing archives to enable training and refinement at will
•Security and governance where personal identifiable information and privacy become a concern
•Plugging into the rest of the ecosystem to build rich, video centric experiences for operations staff and consumers

In modern analytics deployments, latency is the fatal flaw that limits the efficacy of the overall system.  Solutions move at the speed of decision, and microseconds could mean the difference between success and failure against competitive offerings.  Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and In-Memory Analytics solutions have significantly reduced latency, but the sheer volume of data and its potential broad distribution across the globe prevents a single analytics node from efficiently harvesting and processing data.

This panel discussion will feature industry experts discussing the different approaches to distributed analytics in the network and storage nodes.

Organizations inevitably store multiple copies of the same data. Users and applications store the same files over and over, intentionally or inadvertently. Developers, testers and analysts keep many similar copies of the same data. And backup programs copy the same or similar files daily, often to multiple locations or storage devices. It’s not unusual to end up with some data replicated thousands of times.

So how do we stop the duplication madness? Join this webcast where we’ll discuss how to reduce the number of copies of data that get stored, mirrored, or backed up as we discuss:

•Should I eliminate duplicates at the desktop, server, storage or backup device?
•Dedupe technology
•Local vs. global deduplication
•Avoiding or reducing data copies (non-dupe)
•Block-level vs. file- or object-level deduplication
•In-line vs. post-process deduplication
•More efficient backup techniques

Register today (but only once please) for this webcast so you can start saving space and end the extra data replication.

The age of cloud has taken over IT. Organisations have incorporated cloud not only in their IT solution but also in their nomenclature. But Public Cloud resources come at a price, and organisations must be well aware of these charges and ensure that they do not fall prey to vendor lock-in. After all, the devil is in the details.


Find out how organisations can leverage MultiCloud strategies to optimise resources across private and public multi-cloud environments.

At a rate that is hard to fathom for any mere mortal, technology is developing around us and supporting every aspect of our lives. The foundation of this supersonic growth is the emergence of the cloud and everything that it facilitates - from big data and machine learning, to analytics and a variety of cognition services. Without the cloud none of this would be possible. But like everything in our world, especially something as reliant on innovation as cloud computing is, it comes with its challenges.

So when a business owner endeavors to transition to the cloud there is much innovation involved and so much of that innovation is reliant on human psychology. In fact, as technical as it may be, it's the psychology of technology that ultimately defines whether or not a cloud innovation will succeed.

In this webinar, Kareem Tawansi and Brett Raven, 2 leading-edge technologists who have been innovating their entire adult lives, discuss the top 5 challenges to be mindful of when innovating for the cloud, especially the human aspects, and how to avoid them.

This webinar is brought to you by the Vivit Testing, Quality, and Application Lifecycle Management (TQA) Special Interest Group (SIG).

Whether traveling by car, plane or train, it is critical to get from here to there safely and securely. Just like you, your data must be safe and sound as it makes its journey across an internal network or to an external cloud storage device. It's well known that data is often considered less secure while in motion, and attackers are finding increasingly innovative ways to compromise data in flight. And the risks associated with data in transit are dependent on the security measures that are in place. So how do you adequately protect data in transit?

In this webcast, we'll cover what the threats are to your data as it's transmitted, how attackers can interfere with data along its journey, and methods of putting effective protection measures in place for data in transit. Included in this webinar will be:

•What you should expect to happen to secure data in transit; what are the trade-offs
•What transport layer security protocols (SSL, TLS, etc.) are best for protecting data in transit?
•Different encryption technologies and their role in protecting data in transit
•Which criteria should be used?
•How do you know which encryption to use?
•What’s applicable to different workloads?
•Best practices for data protection in transit

Electronic payments, once the purview of a few companies, have expanded to include a variety of financial and technology companies. Internet of Payment (IoP) enables payment processing over many kinds of IoT devices and has also led to the emergence of the micro-transaction. The growth of independent payment services offering e-commerce solutions, such as Square, and the entry of new ways to pay, such as Apple Pay mean that a variety of devices and technologies also have come into wide use.

Along with the rise and dispersal of the payment eco-system, more of our assets that we exchange for payment are becoming digitized as well. When digital ownership is equivalent to physical ownership, security and scrutiny of those digital platforms and methods takes a leap forward in significance.

Assets and funds are now widely distributed across multiple organizations. Physical asset ownership is even being shared between many stakeholders resulting in more ownership opportunities for less investment but in a distributed way.

In this talk we look at the impact of all of these new principles across multiple use cases and how it impacts not only on the consumers driving this behavior but on the underlying infrastructure that supports and enables it. We will look particularly at:

•The cloud network, applications and storage implications of Internet of Payments
•Use of emerging blockchain capabilities for payment histories and smart contracts
•Identity and security challenges at the device in addition to point of payment
•Considerations on architecting IoP solutions for future scale

The pandemic has taught data professionals one essential thing. Data is like water when it escapes; it reaches every aspect of the community it inhabits. This fact becomes apparent when the general public has access to statistics, assessments, analysis and even medical journals related to the pandemic, at a scale never seen before.
Insight understands information in context to the degree that you can gain an understanding beyond just the facts presented and instead make reasonable predictions and suppositions about new instances of that data.
Having access to data does not automatically grant the reader knowledge of how to interpret that data or the ability to derive insight. It is even challenging to judge the accuracy or value in that data.
The skill required is known as data literacy, and in this presentation, we will look at how access to one data source will inevitably drive the need to access more. We will examine:
•How data literacy is defined by the ability to interpret and apply context
•What supporting information is needed
•How a data scientist approaches new data sources and the questions they ask of it
•How to seek out supporting or challenging data to validate its accuracy and value for providing insight
•How this impacts underlying information systems and how data platforms need to adjust to this purpose+ data eco-system where data sources are no longer single use
