ByteLife team participated the EMC World 2011 conference
EMC Corporation hosted its 11th annual EMC World conference for more than 10 000 customers, partners, technologists, press, bloggers and analysts from around the globe from May 9-12 at The Venetian in Las Vegas, among them architects and visionaries from ByteLife.
This year’s theme, “Cloud Meets Big Data,” highlighted how two of the most significant technology trends today provide IT professionals with the opportunity to not only transform IT, but also transform their business. On Cloud computing, the focus is on accelerating the journey – leveraging service provider and hybrid technologies along the way. On Big Data, the focus is managing petabyte scale data volumes, extracting value from this data through analytics and ensuring that the information is delivered, in a timely fashion, to those who need it.
More information of the conference can be found on a press release.
The following announcements and news drew our participant’s attention from more than 500 breakout sessions, more than 100 hands-on labs and exhibits from 100 of the leading IT vendors.
