Keynote: Economics of Enterprise Optimization: "Vendor Neutral" Cost Reduction Strategies
Speaker: Walker Smith, Optimization Consultant on IBM World-Wide Sales Enablement Team. Author of Economics of Enterprise Optimization, Mr. Smith has worked in IT management for more than 35 years. Prior to IBM, he was the RVP for Hitachi Data Systems NA Channels sales and established their Federal Government business.

In this keynote, Mr. Smith will focus on how to transform “device defined” environments to “SW enabled” open cognitive enterprises, including how to:

  • Reduce costs exponentially while increasing efficiencies with SW enabled data optimization.
  • Achieve vendor neutral data optimization on ANY and ALL existing HW devices.  
  • Eliminate risks, costs and barriers to data migration, especially from disk to flash.
  • Exponential cost savings on all downstream processes and all future HW requirements
  • Increase reliability and reduce costs for objects, files and IOT storage with “data dispersal.”
  • Scale data “Lakes to Oceans” while reducing data copies to achieve better analytics.
  • Max utilization with intelligent resource sharing and converged infrastructure without “dissecting” enterprise.
  • Enjoy seamless data interfaces between on premise and cloud with “transparent cloud tiering.”
