4 Sponsor Sessions
Mon, Aug 31, 1:30 PM – 2:30 PM | The Bleeding Edge: A Face Melting Technical Smorgasbord of Private, Hybrid and PaaS
Speaker: Chad Sakac, President, Global Systems Engineering
Abstract: As enterprises are furiously competing to maintain relevancy in the market, innovation and business agility are essential aspects of their long-term success. To support that, IT must provide agile, secure, and cost effective services. This is not an easy task, it is critical that you understand the different cloud models and how they correlate to application and business requirements, these are basic fundamentals for your continued success. In this session, we will discuss the Managed Cloud model and how the EMC Federation with Virtustream solutions will complement vCloud Air’s Public Cloud offerings. We will guide you thru the key dimensions you must consider in choosing the right cloud model for your applications. In this session you will also hear about how EMC will enable Cloud Native Apps, the container ecosystem as well as transforming storage and replication through Virtual Volumes and IO Filters. In typical Chad fashion, we’ll get our hands dirty with tons of live demos and we’ll also provide a sneak peek on how Software-Defined Storage solutions are evolving to accommodate these new application and business requirements, from extreme high performance and low latency applications to huge object repositories. You’ll see how you can start using Software-Defined Storage solutions in your environment with just a few simple steps and with no out of pocket cost, by leveraging EMC’s open source offerings.
Mon, Aug, 31, 5:00 PM – 6:00 PM | Learning from the Leading Edge: Real Ways IT is Creating Value with Federation Enterprise Hybrid Cloud
Speaker: Edward Newman, Sr. Director, Cloud Professional Services Portfolio
Abstract: Software-defined data centers are rapidly maturing, and IT organizations are adopting this approach to provide an agile platform for IT as a service and lower operational costs. The questions for many IT organizations now are: how rapidly can I build this? how agile can I become? how much can I save? In this session, we’ll share insights from a range of real-world deployments of the Federation Enterprise Hybrid Cloud solution, which leverages leading-edge technologies from VMware and EMC. Through robust solutions engineering, extensive documentation, and tightly-defined professional services, clients are realizing their software-defined data center in as little as 28 days. We’ll show how the solution operates at a high-level, but leave lots of time to explain the business and technical benefits which EMC Global Services clients are realizing as they create their software-defined data centers.
Wed, Sep 2, 11:30 AM – 12:30 PM | Best Practices for Running Virtualized Workloads on All-Flash Array
Speaker: Itzik Reich, Field CTO
Abstract: All-Flash Arrays (AFAs) are taking the storage industry by storm. Many customers are leveraging AFAs for virtualizing their data centers, with a majority of them using EMC XtremIO. In this session, we will examine the reasons behind strong adoption of AFAs, discuss similarities and differences between different AFA architectures, and deep dive into specific best practices for the following virtualized use cases:
- Databases: how they can benefit from being virtualized on an AFA;
- EUC: how VDI 1.0 started, what VDI 3.0 means and how it is applicable for an AFA; and
- Generic workloads being migrated to AFAs.
