Storage products and systems are evolving to meet the demands of the enterprise such as server and desktop virtualization, big data, and universal access. Storage systems have to be responsive, resilient across locations and the management has to be folded into an overall management framework all while keeping costs under control. The storage track is targeted at the key topics such as big data, storage federation, and cloud storage that storage administrators, data center administrators, and IT architects are wrestling with.

Everyone talks about big data, but big data isn’t really useful unless you can use it. What you need are big decisions. In this session, you will learn what constitutes big data, best practices to store it for retrieval, and how to use it to make business decisions. We will include a few case studies illustrating key points and provide a starting point on how to use big data to make big decisions.
