Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform is the only 3D scaling storage platform designed for all data types. It is the only storage architecture that flexibly adapts for performance, capacity and multivendor storage. Combined with unique Hitachi Command Suite management software, it transforms the data center.
Reduce Costs and Complexity with Backup-Free StorageHitachi Vantara
The growth in unstructured data stresses traditional backup and restore operations. Numerous, disparate systems with large numbers of files and duplicate copies of data increase backup and restore times and hurt the performance and availability of production systems. Cost and complexity rise, with more backup instances to buy and manage, more care and handling of an increasing numbers of tapes, and more management of offsite storage. In addition, you may need to support analytics, a compliance audit, or legal action that needs information that is stored offsite. By tiering data to an archive, you can reduce total backup volume by at least 30%. By extending that core archive to the edges of your business, your potential gains are worth investigating. View this webcast to learn how to: Lower capital expenses (hardware, software, licensing, and so on). Control maintenance costs. Simplify management complexity. Reduce backup volume, time cost, and time and administrative effort.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
3. WEBTECH EDUCATIONAL SERIES
Accelerate the Business Value of Enterprise Storage
When it comes to enterprise storage, IT has always had to choose between
features and cost. Ongoing tradeoffs between the best technologies to support
business operations and an adequate budget to pay for those technologies
generally impede an organization’s ability to be competitive, innovative and cost
efficient.
The entry-enterprise storage market has opened up new opportunities for storage
customers – and eliminated the need for tradeoffs. Join this webinar to understand
how to accelerate business value with entry-enterprise storage systems and learn
about the new Hitachi Data System offering, Hitachi Unified Storage VM.
Attend this WebTech to:
• Understand the common tradeoffs and challenges within the entry-enterprise
storage market
• Understand the business value of new entry-enterprise offerings
• Learn how Hitachi Unified Storage VM is bringing enterprise-level features to
the midrange

SIMPLIFY
19. DOING MORE WITH LESS, MORE EFFECTIVELY
LOWERING THE OVERALL STORAGE COST STRUCTURE
Store data based on business
value
‒ Intelligent tiered storage moves data to
the right storage device at the right
time
‒ Also reduces the total cost of storage
ownership
Extend the useful life of assets
‒ Non-disruptive migration increases
availability from purchase through
refresh
Repurpose, don’t retire
‒ Manage heterogeneous capacity as a
single pool so existing assets can be
easily repurposed
EXTEND
20. DOING MORE WITH LESS, MORE EFFECTIVELY
LOWERING THE OVERALL STORAGE COST STRUCTURE
Scale based on business
need
‒ Cost-effectively scale performance
and capacity linearly
Commoditize the
procurement process
‒ Externally virtualize storage from
different vendors and commoditize
the systems
‒ Benefit from pricing power – not
pressure COMMODITIZE
21. DOING MORE WITH LESS, MORE EFFECTIVELY
INCREASING OPERATIONAL PRODUCTIVITY AND FLEXIBILITY
Manage with automated tools in
a common view
‒ Automation reduces administrative
overhead and manual steps by up to
50%
