Abstract
Cloud computing is transforming IT, unleashing a wave of disruption in infrastructure, applications and end-user devices unlike anything the industry has experienced before. Ultimately, this disruptive change will enable organizations to deliver IT as a service, dramatically improving efficiency and agility.
At the same time, Big Data is transforming business, government services and research. Data volumes are expected to grow 44 fold over the course of this decade. Locked inside are valuable nuggets of information about the next big innovation, market opportunity or medical miracle.
EMC Chairman & CEO Joe Tucci will outline how organizations are accelerating their journey to cloud computing while adopting ground breaking tools and technologies that are helping to unlock the value of Big Data.
