| 9:40am | 10.20am | Vmware - Cloud Computing: What's Real, What's
Relevant for Enterprise IT, and What Role Does VMware Play Michael Francis, Senior Systems Engineer IT organizations must respond to increasing demands from business stakeholders. Virtually every decision business makes involves IT, and in business where first movers gain competitive advantage, IT responsiveness and agility matter. Yet many IT organizations struggle to meet business needs in a timely way because their applications and services run on infrastructures that are too costly to manage and challenging to change. Today’s IT organizations, faced with decreasing resources and increasing business needs, are looking to cloud computing to provide a more efficient, flexible and cost-effective model for delivering IT to business: IT as a Service. While cloud computing provides the approach, VMware delivers a pragmatic path and customer-proven solutions that allow organizations to preserve existing technology investments, while achieving the goal of enabling IT as a Service. Join us to learn more. |

| 10:25am | 11.05am | IBM: What value to expect from storage
virtualisation Garry Barker, IBM Partner Enablement Manager This session will look into the value of storage virtualisation. Various products in the industry today meet the definition of storage virtualisation, but meeting the definition isn’t the same as delivering the value to your business that virtualisation should offer. Two major values of storage virtualisation are efficiency and flexibility, including minimising the cost of delivering application performance, reducing storage space wastage and providing the flexibility to change responsively with business needs. This last value is taking on a greater importance with the evolution of cloud computing. The session will explore how these values should be delivered on by a storage virtualisation solution, using IBM’s most recent disk virtualisation solution as the example and will touch briefly on the relevance to cloud computing. |

elephant and not get indigestion Steve Bird, National BA LEad - Strategic Consulting & Steve Bollard, National Practice Manager - Strategic Consulting A brief introduction to Data#3’s Strategic Consulting Practice followed by a deeper view into our IT Service Management offering. A traditional approach to implementing IT Service Management is to implement large and complex ITIL aligned modules in their entirety. This approach often causes organizations to fall short of achieving their desired IT Service Management outcomes as they struggle to implement low value aspects of best practice, and miss out on other high value processes and activities. |

| CA - State of the Internet:
Crimeware-as-a-service Chris Thomas, Principal Consultant - Internet Security Business Unit Each individual and each Internet-connected device presents a certain footprint that is exposed and often manipulated for criminal or political gain. Malware, or malicious software, is often the catalyst for this manipulation, while targets span the gamut from corporate and national secrets to personal information that can be used to directly steal money or perpetuate another crime. Technology and the Internet provide the means and opportunity, while global socioeconomic trends provide the motive to perpetuate these crimes. Supporting this criminal activity and adding to the challenges of protection and law enforcement is the growth of a criminal ecosystem. This network of criminals and services introduces multiple layers of anonymity while providing modular functionality for perpetuating cybercrime. This ecosystem as has been labelled as “Crimeware-as-a-Service,” and we share examples of how this ecosystem is exploiting the latest technology trends of cloud computing and social media. |

| Websense Richard Costanzo Websense Security Labs identified a 111.4% increase in the number of malicious websites from 2009 to 2010 and 52% of data stealing attacks occurred over the Web. The convergence and dynamic nature of Web-based technologies are bringing revolutionary changes that are exposing organisations to new and emerging security risks. With data theft being one of the primary goals of most modern attacks, attackers are using a mix of email and Web-based attacks in order to infiltrate an organisation’s networks. Subsequently, organisations need to go beyond just offering point solutions, such as corporate email filtering solutions, and need to adopt a unified approach to combating the convergence of these modern threats. Learn why convergence is the future of IT Security and importantly what steps can be taken to effectively protect your organisation from modern threats both NOW and in the future. |

| 12.35pm | 1.15pm | Data#3 - Simplifying Service Management with
Service Manager 2010 Justin Cook, National Technology Specialist & Scott Gosling, Microsoft Practice Manager There are a vast number of service desk products available in today’s market, many of which are extremely complex to implement or simply fall short of what they promise to deliver. Due to these challenges, we often find organisations simply aren’t using their service desk product to its full potential. System Center Service Manager 2010 can be implemented to deliver a valuable service desk solution with a rich CMDB in a significantly shorter time than most other service desk products. This session will demonstrate the value SCSM can deliver, by demonstrating integration with existing System Center products, walking through incident management, change management, and problem management. In addition we will demonstrate the value of the CMDB and how easily CIs can be added via AD, SCCM, SCOM or other systems. Finally, we will walk through the user portal demonstrating creating an incident, and showcasing some of the self service features available. |

| Symantec - Email storage is easy
with Symantec.cloud Adrian Covich, Principal Systems Engineer Nearly 65 percent of IT Managers think email archiving is vital. To date, 27 percent have deployed a dedicated archiving solution, but many organisations still use their email servers as an ad-hoc archive wanting to avoid the complexity of implementation, difficulty estimating storage requirements and the requisite high upfront investment. For businesses wishing to ensure effective email storage management, this Symantec.cloud session will explore how using a cloud model to manage email storage/archiving can provide greater efficiencies and the flow on benefits this has for common business challenges, such as dealing with mailbox quotas, managing local PST files, addressing the need for tamper-proof archiving, reducing hardware and managing multiple office sites. This session will also look at business drivers for email archiving, including the need for rapid access to emails even when deleted, legal discovery and regulatory compliance, and look at reasons why some businesses do not have a dedicated email archiving solution in place. |

| Vmware - Disaster proof your
business with Vmware Wayne Carlston Traditional disaster recovery solutions are often costly and complex—and can’t meet your recovery objectives even after doubling hardware (and cost) for protected applications. Testing them can be a nightmare because the steps are tedious and the documentation is hard to keep up to date. Likewise, keeping two sets of hardware in sync is nearly impossible. VMware vSphere lets you recover to any machine, not just specific duplicate hardware, reducing hardware costs and maintenance budget and lowering the complexity of maintaining a backup site. Even if you haven’t virtualized all production servers, virtualize target servers for your data recovery to allow greater simplicity, reliability, and cost savings. |
