OPENING KEYNOTE – "SMARTER PLANET"
Presented by: David McQueeney, Ph.D, CTO, IBM's US Federal Government unit
Discussion: No matter where you live or what industry you work in, you know that things could work a little better. Consider these facts: 67 percent of all electrical energy is lost due to inefficient power generation and grid management. Congested roadways in the U.S. cost $78 billion annually in wasted hours and gas. Consumer products and retail industries lose about $40 billion annually, or 3.5 percent of their sales, due to supply chain inefficiencies. Electronic medical records could prevent an estimated 100,000 deaths a year from medical error.
As the world around us becomes increasingly smaller and flatter, it's also becoming smarter. What this means is that for the first time in history almost anything can become digitally aware and interconnected, and that means we can build a smart grid, smart traffic systems, smart supply chains, and smart healthcare solutions. It also means tremendous opportunity for your business. With so much technology and networking abundantly available at such low cost, what wouldn't you put smart technology into? What service wouldn't you provide a customer, citizen, student or patient? What wouldn't you connect? What information wouldn't you mine for insight? |

But what are the unique business / security risks and vulnerabilities inherent in the implementation of cloud computing? The panel will explore what the CIO, CTO, and CISO should consider in proactively guarding against the risks? Our panelists will address these issues from industry and practitioner points of view by identifying danger points. The panel will also discuss methods of safeguarding applications and data “used in the cloud". |

“MEASURING AND MANAGING RISK: WHAT WORKS AND WHAT DOESN’T”

"APPLYING ECONOMIC METRICS IN CONSIDERING STORAGE TCO"
Moderated by: David Merrill, Chief Economist, Hitachi Data Systems, Inc
Discussion: Many IT planners make the mistake of assuming that purchasing low-cost disk solutions will drive down the total cost of ownership (TCO) for storage, but price alone does not equate to reducing the total cost of disk ownership. Purchasing only cheaper disk solutions to reduce short-term capital expense (CAPEX) can often produce a negative long-term impact on operating expense (OPEX), particularly when you consider that the purchase price of disk hardware represents only 20 to 25 percent of the TCO (TCO-per-TB/unit per Year) for the storage infrastructure. As the price of disk continues to decline (and approaches zero), other methods besides lowering CAPEX must be explored to impact multiyear costs of storage ownership. What impact does cloud computing have on data center costs? This session will examine the application of economic principals and cost metrics as a management process for continuous improvements in the data center. |

Technology can transform how cities manage traffic, how the electrical grid delivers energy to consumers, and how enterprises manage energy consumption across their operations. Especially now, in response to energy costs, environmental concerns, and government directives, there is an increased need for sustainable and "green business IT operations.

Craig Neeb | "OPTIMIZING IT PERFORMANCE, REDUCING COSTS AND INCREASING RELIABILITY THROUGH SELECTIVE SOURCING"
Moderator: Amy O'Connor, VP, Sun Microsystems, Inc.
Panelist: Craig Neeb, CIO, International Speedway Corporation
Discussion: When an enterprise relies on outsourcing for select components of its IT operations, it is critical that the service provider employs an efficient delivery model. Such a model encompasses an ITIL based, process-driven yet adaptable approach that delivers maximum performance along with reduced operating costs. The foundation of an efficient service delivery model is the interconnection of tools, resources, and processes. This session will focus on selective sourcing, an alternative to traditional outsourcing, from an industry and practitioner point of view and discuss how customers are leveraging the benefits of this unique approach to increase the efficiency of their IT operations, align IT with business strategy and reduce support costs by as much as 20-50%.
