Title: High Performance Hybrid Arrays in the DataCenter
Description: High Performance Hybrid Arrays (HPHA) bring the advantages of SSD and HDD technologies together by forming one storage device that combines rotating and silicon storage. HPHA take advantage of the low cost per gigabyte of HDD devices and the high I/O performance of SSDs to accelerate read I/O intensive applications like web servers, data base servers and virtualized servers systems by up to 5 times compared to existing HDD based storage solutions. |

Title: Data availability in your storage cloud: which technology to use?
Description: Data availability is a key requirement when building a private or public storage cloud. As the storage cloud capacity increases all data needs to remain readily accessible. You could deploy a combination of traditional storage technologies such as RAID, replication and volume management. Alternatively, you can deploy new storage systems based on clustered file system, global object name space or information dispersal technologies. During this session we will evaluate the pro's and con's of these technologies and their impact on the cost of your storage cloud. |

Topic: 5 Keys to Cloud Recovery
Description: Online backup has been around for quite a while, but it has never really taken off in a big way. There is a newer solution that sounds the same, but is actually much different, called "Cloud Recovery". To really deserve the cloud recovery title, a solution should have the following features: 1) the ability to recover workloads in the cloud, 2) effectively unlimited scalability with little or no up-front provisioning, 3) pay-per-use billing model, 4) an infrastructure that is more secure and more reliable than the one you would build yourself, and 5) complete protection - i.e. non-expert users should be able to recover everything they need, by default. (The current crop of solutions are shockingly bad at 5.) |

Title: The cost impact of moving email management to the cloud
Description: Discover the seven ways of saving on email infrastructure by avoiding the costs of on premise archiving. This session will review the essential facts from Forrester Consulting research conducted on behalf of Mimecast.

Title: The alternative to on-premise archiving solutions: Mimecast’s cloud-based grid
Description: Moving your services to the cloud does not mean you should simply transfer your problems to another location. Outsourcing is often seen as a way of managing complexity… but is it? This talk will discuss the merits of using a grid based storage archive and how separating data into smaller units and distributing them across a grid can truly improve performance, reliability, availability and security |

Title: Deduplication as the Foundation of a Complete Edge-to-Core Strategy”
Description: As the amount and types of data that make up an organization’s information increases exponentially, it becomes more difficult to manage and protect that data. To tackle this massive storage issue, companies are looking to edge-to-core strategies that integrate disk, tape and software into a fully scalable architecture. At the foundation of these efforts is data deduplication which can reduce costs, storage capacity needs and network bandwidth usage. Deduplication is increasingly becoming a critical feature driving the evolution of all data management and protection tasks as it enables the marrying of tape and disk, and allows the customer to choose the approach that suits its data reduction needs best – this is no one size fits all approach to storage management.

Title: Quantum StorNext – Solutions for high performance computing, large scale out applications and petabyte archives.
Description: There are significant challenges rising from dealing with large data sets in high performance environments, from CERN’s LHC which captures 10 PB in 30 days to genetic sequencers that create 50 TB per year each. Based around open system architectures, StorNext provides fast data access and long term retention of data for some of the worlds leading projects. These are explained along with the accompanying data trends. |

Title: How hosted email archiving can deliver cost savings & improved data security
Description: Fears about security, data loss, service availability and the ongoing hype around ‘the cloud’ can make IT directors jittery. There are, however, compelling reasons to manage email archiving and continuity via a hosted service provider – especially for large businesses where the cost savings and process efficiencies gained have considerable economies of scale.
This session will cover how a SaaS approach simplifies implementation and flexibility vs in-house and debunks some of the myths surrounding hosted email archiving. |
