Towards an Agile and Adaptable IT Infrastructure
|
|
Towards an agile and Adaptable IT Infrastructure: The
number one challenge for CIO's today is to have an IT
architecture which is able, at short notice, to respond
to rapid change. If this were not enough, there is
further expectation that IT investment will be returned
(with interest), performance will be improved and
competitive advantage delivered - all at minimal risk to
the company. HP's presentation will highlight how
technologies like virtualization, software to manage an
adaptive enterprise and other latent technologies can
take organizations on the journey from rigid systems to
utility computing. The result is synchronization between
IT delivery and business need, a break down of the
barriers to speed and effectiveness and an end result
where IT is the enabler to greater business performance

Enabling Information on Demand with Information Lifecycle Management
|
|
The information organizations need to manage and use
today is growing at immense proportions. As the value
and scope of this information grows, it is critical to
gain control and map information according to business
goals. Through Information Lifecycle Management (ILM),
organizations can get the most value from their
information and meet the demanding business requirements
across a wide array of applications, regulations, user
needs and corporate policies while delivering the lowest
overall cost. This presentation reviews the challenges,
options, limitations and issues relating to information
management today and introduces the ILM strategy,
products and vision to achieve that next level of IT
efficiency and value.

|
Integrating the Enterprise - Challenges for the Financial Industry
|
|
Financial organisations within Asia are often large,
geographically divers, with multiple lines of business
and often multiple IT infrastructures. Add to that the
complexity of ongoing consolidation of the industry, new
regulation and new technology and the primary question
still remains. "How do we make it all work together
- efficiently".

|
Top IT Priorities for Tomorrow
|
|
Session will discuss how organisations should prepare
their computing infrastructures for the challenges they
will face over the next few years, how they should build
a Dynamic IT infrastructure. I will be discussing
various research findings concerning the issues and the
priorities facing IT managers and the impact that
forthcoming hardware and software technologies will have
on the way they should prepare their environments for
the future.
|
|
The Utility Computing Blue Print: Know The Questions To Ask, The Technology To Review, and Vendors To Trust
|
|
The session will highlight the importance of grid
computing techniques, virtualization and systems
management to support automated business processes. The
goals, challenges and opportunities for new technologies
to be used to create the Utility model will be explored.

Achieving Greater Business Efficiency in Storage
|
|
In today's competitive environment, you must leverage
the inherent value of a business to its fullest. Doing
so always means making better use of data for
cross-selling, upselling, unlocking value isolated in
individual business units, and increasing agility in
addressing new markets. While an information lifecycle
management (ILM) approach to storage is designed simply
to achieve operational efficiency in the infrastructure,
the opposing view is one that truly links IT with
business objectives. That is where storage
infrastructure is instrumental in the success of
applications that directly serve business needs. This
approach and its best practises which leads to greater
business efficiency will be discussed in this
presentation

The Glue that Binds it all Together – Management Software
|
|
This session will provide you with an exclusive
opportunity to hear the latest developments in a new
class of management solutions that address the issue of
gaining value from your IT infrastructure. This will be
discussed against the backdrop of new and emerging
trends in On Demand (both grid and utility) computing,
Service Oriented Architectures (including Web Services),
virtualisation and provisioning. The emphasis is on what
this all means to IT managers and the implications to
the management of these new infrastructures
|
|
Why On Demand is Inevitable?
|
An on demand business is an enterprise whose business
processes—integrated end-to-end across the company and
with key partners, suppliers and customers—can respond
with flexibility and speed to customer demand, market
opportunity or external threat. To be successful,
becoming a demand business is inevitable. We will focus
our discussion around the competencies needed to meet
both business & IT change along with the
practical steps to get us there.

New Data Center Strategy Brings Significant Business
Improvement
|
|
Educate the audience that there is a new way to design
and operate a Data Centre for the first time since the
mainframe era. Show IT managers how the new design
assists in protecting the Data Centre from future
technology changes. Show them how to receive
a reduction in TCO, and improve the ROI ongoing. Will
allow the audience to select what strategic, financial
and operational improvements the new design could
provide their business, as every business is different
