Innovation is a big idea with a lot of potential. But getting innovation right can be tricky. CIOs who tackle innovation often adopt the reflexive approach of designing a formal innovation program, complete with an idea-filtering process, an experimentation methodology and loud fanfare about innovation's central role in the enterprise. But leading enterprises do things differently. To deliver on innovation, they master the four principal paradoxes of innovation: power, process, pressure and property.

Today's Data Centers stand at the epicenter. Along with the virtualization evolution, data centers are now playing a leading role in the powerful technological and economic trends. Cloud computing, together with processing, storage, security and software technologies that make it possible, are straining the capabilities of legacy data center networks. Just as other areas of the data center have evolved to meet the demands of an Internet-enabled world, the time has come for networks to take this significant leap forward into this "Cloud" world.

This session will outline what steps IT organizations must take now to move virtualization in the data center to the next level, driving standardization within infrastructures, improving efficiencies, increasing business value and lowering TCO.

As data volume explodes and storage becomes commoditized, CIO's need to re-establish their strategy for data integrity and availability, often under tight budget constraints. For most users, the convergence of data storage and security is not ideally applied. How should CIO's prepare for the future with accelerating change in data storage requirements while protecting their data from emerging access technologies? Does "cloud" present a solution or higher risk exposure?

Nowadays, there arises a tide of mergers and acquisitions between storage and security vendors in order to address the issue of data security, no matter stationary or in-transit. In this session, the speaker will share with us how Huawei Symantec can help CIO's to navigate in the sea of converged storage and provide users with secured access to enterprise data.

Connecting the organization's information strategy to the business strategy is the CIO's charter today. Data is just about everywhere in different forms throughout the organization; from paper to digital to different corporate IT systems. How can you capture and transform the data into useful information and knowledge which can potentially unlock new economic values? Increase customer loyalty and acquisition, attain corporate sustainability goals whilst mitigating risks and addressing compliance through stronger enterprise governance.

Across a wide range of industries, businesses today operate in a global, 24/7, always-connected, digital content world. In this Virtual Era, customers, constituents, employees, and business partners expect information to be available anytime, anywhere, on any device. From health care providers to retailers, technoogy vendors to government agencies, organizations struggle with the ever-growing complexity and fragility / age of their environments. The cost associated with keeping their current environment running, as well as the cost for new technology, staffing, space, security, and more is breaking IT budgets. Dell listens to its customers and is focused on creating solutions that solve these real IT challenges.

Looking at the trends around us, it is clear that cloud computing and mobility are driving innovation and changing the way we are doing business. These two trends converge at the data center where business applications run on servers in the data center to provide cloud services to users over the Internet to the computer or over the 3G network to a smartphone or tablet. The foundation which these servers are connected to is threatening to break down under the load of these new demands, although it may be running fine for the past 20 years. The problem cannot be ignored any longer and demands disruptive innovation in order to solve this.

Through this session, the presenter will share his insights with audiences what current challenges that enterprises may face with and he will also introduce the proven solutions to CIOs in order to develop a robust networking environment.

Whether you're organization is prepared for it or not, Cloud Security is now the defacto standard for a best-in-class threat defense. While first generation web filtering enabled companies to block certain types of web content, the advent of zero-day attacks, mashed-up web content, social networking and a new era of hyper-connected users requires organization to upgrade their web defences. A new generation of web filtering that includes collaborative cloud-based threat protection, granular application controls and that unifies all users in a common ecosystem is required.

Join this exciting seminar to learn how you can de-risk your evolution to the cloud by leveraging the combined benefits of an appliance-based security strategy and Cloud Security-As-A-Service (SaaS) in a single network.
