4 AGENDA TRACKS A Enable B Data C Delivering Business Growth, Productivity and Continuity This track is designed to discuss the impact of key disruptive forces such as Cloud, mobility and big data on IT and business at large. Mobility as a productivity enabler and Cloud as a growth driver are among the top three IT priorities among Indian organizations and Gartner analysts will provide best practices of embracing these. With these disruptions, CIO s are increasingly concerned about securing their corporate data and assets and this track will touch on IT security and risk coupled with business continuity. I/O managers will have an opportunity to gain leadership coaching on effectively engaging with business and IT leaders. Center Technologies Achieving Higher Levels of Efficiency and Flexibility Virtualization is enabling the journey towards private cloud among the Indian organizations to drive effi ciency, agility and cost rationalization. While embarking on this journey, data center managers are constantly challenged by the disruptions created by the wider acceptance of BYOD and new mobility variants including virtual desktops. This track is intended to provide insights on the impact on virtualization and cloud on the IT infrastructure with a focus on improving agility. While I&O leaders and their teams need to continue investing signifi cant resources and time on traditional servers, storage and networking for existing initiatives, they will also have to start evaluating how to transform their infrastructure and organizations to meet upcoming needs. Convergence of infrastructure technologies and vendors would be another highlight of this track coupled with management of data explosion. IT Operational Excellence and Driving Business Value A balanced approach towards IT operations management (ITOM) can improve the quality of service and empower IT to better manage business risks and deliver effi ciency. This track will represent all the technology, tools and frameworks needed to manage the provisioning, capacity, performance and availability of the computing, networking and application environment, aiming towards a service and business-oriented I&O as a long-term target-state. Impact of virtualization and cloud computing on the overall operations framework and management vendor landscape will also be discussed in this track. Data center infrastructure management processes and tools with a focus to streamline data center operations and provide cost effi ciency will be covered in the agenda. Attendees will also learn best practices of designing the right metrics, dashboards and tools to improve their visibility with their IT executives and line of businesses. VIRTUAL TRACKS Cost Optimization I&O investments run into the tens of millions of dollars and have to be managed over a year period. This track will focus on how to create the appropriate fi nancial controls, governance policies and organizational structures to run a world class data center. Specifi cally, we will focus on data center economics, software licensing agreements, sustainability and procurement. This track will help you get the best from the millions of dollars you invest in your data center. Impact of Mobility on I&O Evolution or Revolution? Data Center and mobility are intertwined more than I&O leaders think. The proliferation of hundreds of new handsets and tablets and new services (e.g. social networking) that have emerged and are emerging will have an impact on the Data Center infrastructure, content, risk and management. This track will identify the dramatic changes happening in this environment and how the Data Center environment needs to adapt to accommodate this change without stifl ing innovation or dramatically increasing costs. Cloud Computing both Private and Public has become the latest in a series of hot industry terms and as such, is used in many contradictory ways. Underneath the fog, there are very real trends such as service orientation, global class architecture, Web platforms, massively scalable processing, virtualization and the Internet itself that are converging to fuel this phenomenon. Sessions in this virtual track examine the impacts felt on I&O and how it will need to evolve to deal with the changes, both real and those resulting from the hype. 4 Gartner IT Infrastructure Operations & Data Center Summit 2013
