3 Ways Companies Are Slashing IT Costs with VDICitrix
Ā
The need to reduce costs and simplify IT canāt come at the expense of security. By implementing VDI with Citrix XenDesktop, organizations can lower capital and operating expenses while avoiding costly breaches or regulatory fines. This white paper describes the experiences of three companies who reduced costs, simplified IT and met their business objectives.

The continued expansion of file-based, business-critical information within extended enterprises is changing the storage dynamic in a wide range of industries and organizations. In a series of interviews with U.S. and European enterprises, IDC found that companies are increasing their file-based storage by 40% to 120% a year and place a high priority on boosting the efficiency and reliability of their management processes for file-based information. IDC research indicates that unstructured, filebased data drove a majority of new storage capacity in all organizations' datacenters in 2008 and projects this growth to accelerate, in spite of current economic conditions. By 2012, over 75% of new storage capacity shipped will be dedicated to the storage, organization, and protection of files.

EMC Isilon: A Scalable Storage Platform for Big DataEMC
Ā
This white paper provides insights into EMC Isilon's shared storage approach, covering a wide range of desired characteristics including increased efficiency and reduced total cost.
Data handling and its security has always been a cause of concern for enterprises considering proper optimization of storage facilities. Magnetic tape storage, invented during 1920s, was the first means of data storage in organizations. As the storage systems evolved magnetic drums, DRAM cells, floppy disks, CD ROMs, flash drives were user for data storage during the time period of 1930s to 1990s. The new millennium saw the disruption in the storage market with launch of SD cards, flash storage systems, holographic memory etc. With the advent of Cloud Computing, cloud storage gained traction and cloud backup solutions became the part of disaster recovery strategy in enterprises.The demand for storage has been increasing in organizations with the accumulation and digitization of data and the inability of traditional storage systems to meet the storage demands. Enterprises demand a scalable storage solution with low investments and least maintenance. Digital data has become complicated with digitization in every field. The drawback of traditional storage solutions are that it is not compatible with today's need and incur more cost in terms of storage solution. It would also require an organization to revamp the storage strategy as well as invest in technical personnel to implement and maintain the storage systems. Cloud storage gives easy access to enterprise data at reduced costs with a service model that manages the backup data remotely and makes it available to the user over a network.
Storage has evolved from a peripheral to the foundational technology in IT. Data (and
therefore, the protection of that data) underpins the internet, Cloud and internal
datacenters worldwide.
Having storage systems that allow users to scale up in performance, scale out in
capacity, and scale deep to leverage existing investments are the key tenets on which
next generation datacenters are founded.
IBM, in its announcement of the Storwize V7000 has taken all these into account. The
V7000 meets all three scaling needs, is feature packed. It is also a clear example of
how leveraging industry standards can yield high return for both IBM and its
customers.

Watch full webinar here: https://bit.ly/3saONRK
COVID-19 has pushed every industry and organization to embrace digital transformation at scale, upending the way many businesses will operate for the foreseeable future. Organizations no longer tolerate monolithic and centralized data architecture; they are embracing flexibility, modularity, and distributed data architecture to help drive innovation and modernize processes.
The pandemic has compelled organizations to accelerate their digital transformation initiatives and look for smarter and more agile ways to manage and leverage their corporate data assets. Data governance has become challenging in the ever-increasing complexity and distributed nature of the data ecosystem. Interoperability, collaboration and trust in data are imperative for a business to succeed. Data needs to be easily accessible and fit for purpose.
In this session, Denodo experts will discuss 5 key trends that are expected to be top of mind for CIOs and CDOs;
- Distributed Data Environments
- Decision Intelligence
- Modern Data Architecture
- Composable Data & Analytics
- Hyper-personalized Experiences
We wanted to know how companies viewed the changing data warehousing landscape, so we surveyed 200 businesses to learn more about the issues they faced. In "Delivering the Best of All Worlds for Today's Analytics" we compare the technology, present the options, and provide findings from our survey. We also discuss the latest column store techniques and open source technology to provide both enterprise class performance and affordability.

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.

All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

IDC OPINION
F.508.935.4015
A social and mobile world is impacting businesses of all shapes and sizes. It has led
to a surge in the amount of data that needs to be managed and the number of
devices that is needed to access this data. One of the chief requirements of data
access in this new paradigm is that this access is continuous and consistent,

regardless of the physical location of the user or the devices used to access it. In the
past, "scale up" or "monolithic" storage technologies worked well for a relatively
immobile user base with limited and fragmented data sets. However, in this new
world, the benefits of deploying a monolithic storage system are fast diminishing. Any
performance or capacity upgrade typically requires forklifting existing storage

solutions and painful migration processes along with increased expenses. As
companies started looking for alternative solutions, vendors brought to market scale-
out storage architectures that would allow businesses to grow their infrastructure on
an as-needed basis. Scale-out architectures give businesses the ability to linearly
scale capacity and/or performance independent of each other while keeping
management simple and costs low. This IDC study is based on an IDC vendor
assessment model called the MarketScape. It is a quantitative and qualitative
assessment of the characteristics that explain a vendor's success in the marketplace
and help anticipate the vendor's ascendancy to be a leader in the market segment in
question. This study assesses the capabilities and business strategies of many scale-
out file-based storage (FBS) vendors. It is based on a comprehensive framework and
a set of parameters expected to be most conducive to success in providing scale-out
file-based solutions, during both the short term and the long term. As the scale-out
file-based market is a highly competitive one, all vendors performed relatively well in
the study. Key findings include:
ļ¹ All vendors in this study provide a scale-out solution (in certain cases, a scalable
solution) that meets IDC's stated definition. However, leading firms generally
have a broader portfolio that appeals to a wider audience. This leads to a bigger
market share.
ļ¹ Smaller vendors however have more innovative solutions that rival solutions from
bigger vendors. Many such vendors are focused on specific verticals such as
high-performance computing (HPC), media, and entertainment. However, many
