I predicted Dave Duffield's WorkDay would be a definite hit. To have a evidence of the same, I took the initial screen shots of the to-be-started workday company way back in 2005. Sharing the same to all Hr Technologist, PeopleSoft and Workday consultants on how Workday was started.
The document discusses how software defined networking (SDN) can address the convergence of mobility and cloud computing. SDN allows for centralized, consistent policies across campus networks, data centers, and carriers. This enables seamless user experiences across wired and wireless access. SDN also helps provision virtual desktop infrastructure by extending policies within data centers. Several challenges to SDN adoption are mentioned, such as standards maturity and vendor interoperability. The future of SDN may include an "app store" approach using OpenFlow applications.

WhereScape software works with IBM to target this new mid-market by focusing on quick time to value and price/performance. The document highlights a brief demo of WhereScape RED to load and manage data in a DB2 data warehouse and generate necessary tables and documentation. It also lists additional capabilities the demo could have shown.
The document discusses rethinking the computer. It notes that the current desktop metaphor is outdated as it has not changed since the 1970s despite hard disks increasing enormously in size. The document proposes a new metaphor called "Stories and Venues" to address the problem that people have too much information to manage on their computers and cannot easily find what they are looking for.
The document discusses designing for individualized customer experiences. It covers several topics:
1. The concept of the "segment of one" where customers have unique needs and preferences.
2. A framework for personalization across an ecosystem involving manufacturers, carriers, developers and customers.
3. Considerations for hardware including how technology is changing, 3D modeling software, and emerging manufacturing methods.
4. Considerations for software including new interaction paradigms like widgets, search-based interfaces, and combining capabilities through a dynamically evolving set of options.
The overall message is that companies should focus on personalized, adaptive systems rather than single products to meet the needs of individual customers.

11. Lowering IT Costs – DB2 Compression
Why is it important?
Saving Storage
Usually the most expensive component of a database solution
Saves floor space and personal cost for managing storage
Saving storage saves power and cooling!
Improving I/O Efficiency
Fewer I/O operations needed to retrieve same amount of data
Quicker Access to Data from Disk
Accessing data from disk is the slowest database operation
“DB2 9 compression capabilities are key in helping reduce the
size of our databases—in one case by up to 83%.”
—Jean Holley CIO Tellabs Inc
Jean Holley, CIO, Inc.
“We observed a 70% compression ratio.”
