11. THE MODERN DATA CENTER
Today you will be hearing from technologists from across EMC talk about how we are driving innovation in Primary Storage, Data Protection, Converged infrastructure and Data lakes.
We believe that these technologies are critical building blocks that our customers need to Modernize their datacenters, helping them drive better efficiency, gain more business agility and lay the foundation for new applications and analytics tools that will enable companies to compete in the modern digital economy. Before you go off and dive into those sessions though, I would like to quickly discuss the major trends that we are seeing in this shift from an industrial economy to a digital economy and how we believe companies in all industries can think about navigating this transition. The first thing that we need to understand is where we have come from and where we are going.

12. 2016 ALL FLASH THE YEAR OF FOR PRIMARY STORAGE
This is why EMC officially has named 2016 … The Year of All Flash for Primary Storage!!!

13. FLASH TRANSFORMS STORAGE
PERFORMANCE
SCALE
AFFORDABLE
SIMPLE
Flash transforms enterprise storage and of course, performance is a given…. Flash storage, along with the right architecture and software, holds the key to massive Scale and surprisingly affordable price, all while simplifying storage deployment…
IS YOUR NETWORK READY?

14. IS YOUR NETWORK RUNNING ON EMPTY?
Thinking about an all flash enterprise storage system, you also need to think about your storage network.

15. WAS YOUR STORAGE NETWORK DESIGNED IN THE DAYS OF SPINNING DISCS?
WILL YOUR STORAGE
NETWORK KEEP PACE
WITH ALL FLASH
STORAGE?
Will your legacy storage network keep up with flash?

16. MODERNIZE YOUR NETWORK TO KEEP PACE WITH THE ACCELERATED I/Os OF
ALL FLASH ENVIRONMENTS
It’s time to modernize your network. Even if you have 8Gb capable servers or other systems attached, upgrading to a modern SAN or a dedicated IP Storage Network will bring scalability and performance benefits to your entire Flash environment.

17. CONNECTIVITY MATTERS FOR ALL FLASH ENVIRONMENTS
A HIGHER PERFORMING
NETWORK KEEPS PACE
WITH ALL FLASH
BENEFITS FROM UPGRADING NETWORK
50% Increase Application Performance
50% Less In Operating Expenses
Eliminate 48% Of Maintenance Costs
Flash requires and end-to-end high performing environment.

18. CONNECTIVITY MATTERS FOR TECH REFRESH
IMPROVE EFFICIENCY
New more efficient models
lower OPEX costs through
reduced floor space,
power, and cooling
IMPROVE AVAILABILTY
