| | 9:15 am - 9:45 am | Entering the Age of Information Ubiquity
Information is a strategic business enabler and technology is at the center of leading this evolution toward information ubiquity – information available any place, any time and from any device. The speed of global business is accelerating and it is imperative for technology to keep pace and store, protect and provide secure access to vital business information. IT organizations must deliver on-demand services to your business stakeholders while masking the underlying complexity. Information and data has become fluid, moving from old devices to new, and needing to be discoverable at any point in the future. By using unique, proven techniques from leading global companies, IT organizations can virtualize all infrastructure and layer intelligent management capabilities to apply policies to all file and content types. This lets you effectively handle the emergence of “big data” and either build or tap into large cloud data centers. In this session, you will hear from an industry thought leader about how to take advantage of new technologies to help transform your data centers and push your business forward.
Jack Domme, Chief Executive Officer, Hitachi Data Systems
