At the EMC Forum, We set 3 sessions - hardware, software and
the management of information. You can choose the topics and
sessions best suited to your needs. You can see for yourself
how information lifecycle management (ILM) helps you maximize
the value of information, at the lowest total cost of ownership,
at every point in the information lifecycle. |
Session One
|
| Tiered
Infrastructure: Today's IT leaders are under
pressure to simplify complex IT infrastructures¡ªa challenge
exacerbated by the rise in multi-vendor environments and explosive
growth in data, networks, applications, transaction volumes,
and users. Meanwhile, pressure is growing to meet higher service
levels and regulatory requirements. The strategies for organizations
that want to streamline and simplify their information infrastructure
including: Consolidation, Policy-Based, Information Management,
Information Lifecycle Management Services, End-to-end Storage
Management, Intelligent Network Management, Simplified Backup,
Recovery, and Archiving, Replication Management, Proven Solutions
and Pay-As-You-Go Expansion. |
| Consolidation:Consolidation
is a significant factor in lowering total cost of ownership
(TCO), simplifying IT management, improving storage utilization,
and boosting productivity. But consolidation is more challenging
than ever given the rapid growth of information and the pressure
to maintain service levels. The consolidation choices including:
Technology consolidation (tiered, SAN, NAS, server, gateways,
and high-end hyper-consolidation), Information consolidation
(fixed content, Microsoft Exchange), and Operational consolidation
(management, backup). |
| Virtualization:EMC
Invista is a high-performance networked storage virtualization
solution that runs on intelligent SAN switches¡ªplacing virtualization
intelligence in your existing SAN infrastructure. With Invista
you can choose from a wide range of intelligent switches and
directors, giving you the flexibility to use the latest, most
advanced hardware. Unlike other approaches to networked storage
virtualization, Invista takes advantage of new specialized
processing power in the switch to perform I/O redirection
and other virtualization tasks at wire speed. With Invista,
you can: Allocate any storage to any application¡ªas you need
it. And dramatically reduce the downtime associated with moving
data across storage tiers¡ªa key capability for enabling your
information lifecycle management (ILM) strategy. |
Session Two
|
| Continuity:
Business continuity means keeping a business going
under all circumstances, protecting data from corruption,
and recovering data quickly¡ªall while reducing costs and maintaining
current staffing levels. It highlights EMC's range of choices
for business continuity, including: Tiered Protection and
Recovery, Local and Remote Replication, Replication Management,
Data Classification and Movement, Advanced Business Consistency,
Application Integration, Backup-to-Disk, Business Continuity
Services. |
| BuRA:Backup,
recovery, and archiving operations must be faster and more
efficient than ever to keep information available, productivity
high, and storage costs in control. Traditional options for
maintaining availability were limited, largely manual, and
generally inefficient. As backup environments and information
continue to grow, managing these key operations becomes more
difficult and costly. It highlights EMC choices/capabilities
for backup, restore, and archiving, including: Backup, Recovery,
and Archiving Best Practices, Backup, Recovery, and Archiving
Solutions, Automated Extraction and Movement, Disk-Aware Backup
Applications, Scalable Platforms for Backup, Recovery, and
Archiving. |
ESG:
In 2004, EMC set up its Software Group (ESG) and integrated
a number of leading enterprises in the field of storage management
software, such as Legato, Documentum and Smarts, which were
lately purchased by EMC. Focusing on providing software solutions
to the various phases of the information life cycle, including
storage management, content management, data backup, archiving
and tiered storage, EMC software division has constructed
itself, through efficient and sufficient integration of the
excellent software resources from these enterprises, into
the only supplier that is able to provide perfect solutions
for each phase of the information life cycle strategy. Furthermore,
the high availability, high operability and excellent integrality
of the EMC software solutions make it possible for the customers¡¯
IT personnel to manage the internal storage resources in a
more efficient and visualized manner.
The state-of-the-art software products
offered by EMC, including NetWorker¡¢Retrospect, DiskXtender/EmailXtende,
AutoStart+SRDF/Mirrorview, and VisualSRM, provide the customers
with a more comprehensive, more efficient and more cost-effective
combination of software products that will lay a solid foundation
for the customers to achieve information life cycle management,
drive down the TCO of information storage and enhance the
business continuity and disaster recovery capability. |
Session Three
|
Storage
Management: Storage management from the storage
experts, Working onsite, our highly skilled storage experts
help you plan, build, and manage your storage environment.
Accelerate projects. Speed time to value of new technology,
and streamline storage operations¡ªas we deploy best practices
and specialized skills to improve your operational infrastructure.
Storage Managed Services¡ªour most comprehensive management
offering¡ªprovides day-to-day storage management governed by
service level agreements. EMC assumes storage infrastructure
responsibility in partnership with your IT staff, relieving
your organization of operational tasks while instituting a
more proactive approach to storage management. |
| Compliance:
Compliance requirements are affecting more and more
organizations, forcing them to re-examine their IT systems.
EMC offers enable compliance and facilitate a proactive response
to e-discovery demands¡ªincluding enhanced content and records
management, more robust e-mail archiving, and audit and reporting
capabilities. It explores new strategies for enhanced information
management. And it highlights the EMC choices that help make
compliance happen, including: Records Management, E-Mail Archiving,
Content Addressed Storage and Flexible Information Lifecycle
Management (ILM) Infrastructure. |
| Content
Management: Unstructured data or digital content
is one of today's fastest growing types of information¡ªincreasing
as much as 200 percent annually and leaving some organizations
drowning in a sea of content. Managing digital content is
a major challenge across all industries, and organizations
are looking for ways to drive down operation costs while enabling
regulatory compliance. It highlights EMC's wide range of digital
content management choices, including: Enterprise Content
Management, Policy-based Storage Optimization, Automated Archiving,
Content Addressed Storage, Tiered Storage, Business Continuity,
Backup, Compliance Solutions. |
