Analyze, search, and classify content for better business outcomes Speaker: Lloyd Parata, ECM Solution Specialist Security and privacy is no longer an option, it is a requirement of doing business. Databases contain an organization's most valuable assets: they are where customer data, financial records and other sensitive information are stored. They have become a primary target of attacks by hackers and insiders with malicious intent. Investigations over the past several years show that 75 - 92 percent of compromised records originated in database servers. While IBM DB2 for z/OS may hold the vast majority of your data, there may also be sensitive data held in other databases across multiple platforms. Learn how clients have used IBM InfoSphere Guardium to help reduce threats, prevent breaches and streamline compliance activities to reduce operational costs. This session discusses protecting data from both external and internal threats and across the entire application lifecycle from development, testing all the way to production |

New Era of Data Warehousing & Analytics Speaker : Sameer Vaishampayan Data warehousing has become one of the fastest-growing segments of the IT world. The business value of data warehouse applications has been clearly demonstrated in thousands of cases, in organizations of all sizes, in all industries. Success, however, brings new challenges. Once data warehouses are in place, end user demand expands rapidly. Businesses that start with small-scale, compact systems may find that, within a few years, they must deal with terabytes (TB) of data, increasingly sophisticated technologies, complex mixed workloads and hundreds or thousands of users. As this occurs, costs may escalate rapidly. What can be done to control this process? |

Bringing the power of Big Data to the enterprise Part 1 Speaker: Bharat Gera ( New Delhi) Firms want to discover and analyze business insights hidden in large volumes of a diverse range of data – data that’s often ignored or discarded because it’s too impractical or difficult to process using traditional means. Examples include log records, click streams, social media data, news feeds, emails, electronic sensor output, and even some transactional data. To help firms analyze such data, IBM developed BigInsights, a platform based on the open source Hadoop™ project from Apache™. You may be wondering what makes IBM’s platform unique – in short, what value it provides. Let’s take a closer look. |
| 15:00 - 15:30 |
Bringing the power of Big Data to the enterprise Part 2 Speaker: Bharat Gera ( New Delhi) One of the biggest challenges in business analytics today is that organizations store their data in distinct silos. We do this because it makes sense: for example, we keep our transactional data in online transaction processing (OLTP) databases, our email in Lotus Domino or Microsoft Exchange servers, and our call center engagement logs in customer relationship management (CRM) repositories such as SugarCRM. Each repository has specific availability requirements, security settings, service-level agreements (SLAs), and associated applications. But when it comes to building a complete view of all the relevant data for a particular customer from every data source in your organization, you’re out of luck. The infrastructure that makes your silos effective tools for their designed purposes also makes them difficult to integrate. After all, you don’t look at a picture by zooming in to 250 percent and examining one spot—unless, of course, you are editing it. There’s huge value in zooming out and seeing the full picture, which you can only do by pulling in data from many sources. IBM InfoSphere Data Explorer (formerly known as Vivisimo Velocity Platform) represents a critical component in the IBM Big Data platform. Data Explorer technology enables users to access all of the data that they need in a single integrated view, regardless of its format, how it’s managed, or where it’s stored. Being able to retrieve data from all available repositories in an organization is a key part of doing analysis involving Big Data, especially for exploratory analysis. |

Analytics on the cloud Speaker : Rajesh Shewani The term “cloud” can mean different things to different people. For IT organizations, it is often viewed as a way to minimize costs and improve efficiency while maintaining the necessary controls. From a business perspective, it is a model for enabling cost-effective outcomes through the use of shared application and computing services. Analytics are becoming more pervasive and usable. This is powered by advances in intensive computing resources and more business-oriented interfaces for developing insights using advanced analytics. But organizations are not always able to infuse analytics and the insights they generate into their business processes and deliver the insights to people who would benefit from them in making better decisions. Find out how analytics on the cloud is redefining business models for many organizations |

Time Series Data Management with unprecedented performance Speaker: Vaibhav S Dantale Time series data is a sequence of data points typically measured at successive times and may be spaced at uniform time intervals. Time-stamped data can be analyzed to extract meaningful statistics or other characteristics of the data. It can also be used to forecast future events based on known past events. Time series data enables applications such as economic forecasting, census analysis and forecasting, fleet management, stock market analysis, and smart energy metering. The time stamped data has a special structure that differs from relational data. Additionally, these systems stores data at frequent intervals that require massive storage capacity. For these reasons, it is not sufficient to manage time series information using the traditional relational approach of storing each time stamped entry. Doing so creates performance challenges as the data volumes grow exponentially. No-one realizes the problem while doing PoC. Everyone thinks storage is cheap but when you talk about full blown implementation it gets real big, and affects Total Cost of Ownership in terms Storage, Data Management Overheads, Resource Consumption & Application Development challenges. The session presents, IBM's unique technology called IBM Informix TimeSeries which helps in managing operational data efficiently from space saving, performance and interoperability perspective. The IBM have been successful in demonstrating 66 times faster performance & up to 60% disc space saving on commodity hardware when compared to competitor. Performance benchmark for 100 million meters of Meter Data Management solution is another enticing story in the presentation which straight away knocked out the competitors. |
