IT
impacts business primarily by helping reduce
business costs through productivity enhancements
delivered by new technology, driving business
agility through unlocking new ways of doing
business or enabling greater efficiencies
through technology and by creating sustainable
competitive advantage. The increase in IT
infrastructure demands is driving a transition
to new technologies such as 64-bit computing,
multi-core processors and server virtualization.
Intel innovates a broad set of new server
technologies to support this growth in computing,
working with the ecosystem to provide comprehensive
solutions that deliver better value in real-world
environments. Now is the time to take advantage
of Intel's extensive information, tools and
resources to reduce your risk and enable your
business growth. |

of the Untethered Enterprise |

 |
Vernon
Turner
Group Vice President
and General Manager, Enterprise Computing,
IDC |
| |
|
Business
processing is being used to create or sustain
temporary competitive advantages through the
advent of new application development models
such as Web Services. However, to create this
dynamic enterprise, requires a new way to
think, build and support the seamless end-to-end
IT infrastructure which IDC calls the Dynamic
IT.Mr. Turner's session will prepare IT professionals
of the platform requirements to establish
the 'Virtual Data Center'. He will take you
on a tour of key trends, emerging technologies
such as multi-core processing, extreme blade
system deployments and their challenges, grid
computing, and the life expectancy of traditional
data center computing. Wrapped around these
technologies will be the influence of virtualization
offerings to try to meet the CIO goals. However,
the question we are all asking is will this
ever happen on our watch? Come, listen, ask
and find out? |

IT
infrastructure investment is happening. CIOs
across key Asia Pacific markets are working
to transform their infrastructures, significantly
increasing capability across the whole infrastructure
spectrum. This is the message of an ongoing
global Accenture research program with to-date
more than 450 CIOs of large organisations
benchmarking their IT investment and management
performance. In his presentation, Anmol Mundair
lays out a practical roadmap for Infrastructure
Transformation that is specific to an organisation's
current lifecycle stage and discusses obstacles
and how to overcome them. |

The
New Rules For Backup And Recovery |
| |
|
 |
PK
Gupta
Director, Strategic
Development Asia Pacific, EMC Software
Group
|
| |
|
Backup
and recovery means headaches and problems
for most of today's IT managers. Data is growing
exponentially, traditional processes aren't
working, and using tape for recovery doesn't
always meet service-level expectations. It's
time for a new, affordable approach-one that
incorporates backup, recovery, and archiving.
Learn how you can align these interrelated
processes to accelerate backups and restores,
ensure better utilization of your production
environment, create and automate on-line archives,
and reduce your overall total cost of ownership
(TCO). |

An
Efficient and Flexible IT Infrastructure -
Myth or Reality? |
| |
|
|
Raymond
Ong
Design Consultant,
Data Center Solutions, Project Manager - Data
Centers, American Power Conversion |
| |
|
In
a recent survey conducted amongst 1300 CIOs,
one of the top 3 concerns of CIOs is the ability
to develop an efficient and flexible infrastructure.
In today's environment, Scalability, Availability
and Productivity form the basic drivers of
the infrastructure in any company in order
to achieve 3 imperatives, namely, to satisfy
their customers, to ensure business continuity
and to be able to adapt to the frequent IT
refreshes. Hence the pursuit for an efficient
and flexible IT infrastructure grows more
heated each day. To achieve this, CIOs and
IT managers need to re-think the way they
design and build server rooms and data centres.
In this session, you will learn about the
IT trends, the challenges ahead and the solutions
available to combat these issues. |

Infrastructure
Simplification: Towards a leaner, smarter
and agile IT |
| |
|
 |
Dr
Patrick Chan
Research Director,
IDC Asia/Pacific |
| |
|
Infrastructure
simplification is a concept of re-architecting
enterprises functional and operational infrastructure
components by examining the whole entire environment
end to end and finding ways to eliminate the
complexity that can inhibit the free flow
of services and information necessary in today's
fast paced business world. Trends and directions
pertaining to areas like Information Life
Cycle Management, virtualization, standardization
and service-oriented architecture will be
addressed and discussed. In his presentation,
Dr. Patrick will highlight some examples of
today corporate environment and how move towards
a leaner, smarter and agile IT environment
can be effected. |

Vision
for Information Lifecycle Management |
| |
|
 |
Rajesh
Prabhakaran
Vice Chairman,
SNIA South Asia |
| |
|
In
today's highly competitive business environment,
CXO's are looking to IT to help them become
agile so that they can take advantage of the
dynamic changes in the market landscape. This
calls for business managers to be provided
with real time intelligence at the lowest
possible cost. IT therefore is expected to
not only effectively manage the explosive
growth in data but help extract business value
by converting it into information and thereafter
knowledge and intelligence. Information Lifecycle
Management (ILM) is the journey that organisations
will need to undertake to realise this vision.
ILM is beginning to provide the business context
to many of the underlying IT infrastructure
decisions and will become core to building
an organisation's business agility. |
