WHO: Shinjiro Iwata, chief executive officer, at Hitachi Data Systems Corporation, a provider of Services Oriented Storage Solutions™ solutions and wholly owned subsidiary of Hitachi, Ltd. (NYSE: HIT).
WHAT: Data growth continues to accelerate and not just where you would expect it – big businesses, internet-based companies, and government agencies – many with over a petabyte of storage. The terabyte home is at hand as digital devices from TiVo, to MP3 players, to digital cameras proliferate. Not long ago, many would have thought these numbers ridiculous to contemplate. Mr. Iwata will discuss how a new storage management paradigm called large-scale virtualization is needed to manage today's information explosion. Mr. Iwata will talk about how companies can take advantage of the future of data storage management today to achieve integrated information management.
