SPO3982 Data Center Convergence
(Twitter hashtag: #SPO3982)
Date and Time: Tuesday, August 30 5:30pm
Bob Zuber
Program Director
IBM System x
Session Details:
With ever increasing pressure on IT for cost containment and improved service levels, organizations are investigating ways to simplify their IT infrastructure and improve utilization. Data center convergence of servers, storage, and network technologies allow organizations to simplify the management of these resources, increasing utilization and improve flexibility. VMware and System x virtualization effectively consolidates workloads and the foot print in the data center with highly scalable and economic servers. Infrastructure convergence is an evolutionary step toward Smarter Computing. This evolution requires a converged solution that draws from multiple technology trends that are now occurring in the industry. In this session our expert will provide you with great insight into IBM System x direction in data center convergence and how we are maximizing the benefits of technology today and into the future.

BCO2915 Backup and Data Protection in the Cloud
(Twitter hashtag: #BCO2915)
Date and Time: Monday, August 29 1:00pm
Peter Kisich
Sr. Storage Technical Specialist
Carlos Lizarralde
Sr. Storage Virtualization Specialist
Session Details:
As cloud infrastructures continue to trend to higher tiers and larger data requirements, solving the challenges of backup, replication and data recovery become more mission critical. Backup and storage technology integration with VMware VADP, SRM, and VAAI are essential to data protection strategies for the cloud.
Software and hardware solutions leverage the VMware data protection framework to provide:
- Zero impact backup to primary storage and server
- VM consistent space efficient snapshots with no I/O overhead
- De-Duplication for optimal storage of historical data
- Data replication which is easy to configure and monitor.
IBM can provide comprehensive insights into technologies that best address these key challenges for the cloud.
