6th Annual Conference. June 04, 2014. San Francisco

There is no disputing that both Enterprises and Service Providers are embracing cloud. But now, there are some ‘blurred lines’ as enterprises and public and private institutions that share common requirements are banding together through a “Community Cloud” model. Aimed at delivering on-demand, non-competitive services, infrastructure and application software, this new and emerging IP operating model is based on a community cloud platform.

Advanced Analytics has the potential to unlock new sources of revenues, reduce expenses, optimize organizations and monetize the mounds of data each organization collects. However, the pursuit of Advanced Analytics nirvana is proceeding along two esoteric paths. First, the ivory tower approach where mysterious data scientists manually turn data into beautifully crafted analysis reports. Second, the massive computing power approach where black-box software crush data into complex models incomprehensible to mere mortals.

Gartner predicts that the relationship between technology and information consumption will be altered as data is coming from multiple federated sources and in structured and unstructured forms must now be analyzed using new methodologies foreign to many IT departments.

Over the last 20 years we have experienced a rate of technological change unparalleled in human history. This incredible pace of life altering innovation is built on the open and unfettered access to core technologies: computing power, open source software, power, bandwidth and data storage. Without access to the innovations in these areas, advances such as the cloud and web services are impossible or at the very least not scalable.

Cloud is no longer the biggest buzz around the IT water cooler, at least not directly. The term that is all the rage now is Big Data. In this session, Mike Wronski will explore what Big Data is, why it is increasingly relevant—and critical—to virtualization and private clouds, and what the coming year will bring in terms of solutions that address the cloud’s Big Data challenge and enable IT organizations to take advantage of the wealth of information, so they can extend the value of cloud. Technical and manager-level attendees will learn:
