Fueled by consumerization of IT, BYOD, and standards such as 802.11ac, the conventional approach to deploying Wi-Fi is currently not up to the task. In this session full of real world examples, ADTRAN will explore how cloud Wi-Fi is changing the economics for organizations such as the Durham Bulls, who are able to provide high density Wi-Fi access for fans during games, while at the same time offloading the onerous management of the network to an outside provider.

He holds a Master of Science (M.S.), Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from the University of Bologna.

Hack attacks – and in particular Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) – are on the rise, eroding reputations and looting organizational and customer assets with disturbing regularity. With mobility the new norm and native-device-level mobile security in its relative infancy, are BYOD enterprises inviting APT attacks? Mobile devices potentially open the organizational network to an entirely new set of security risks that challenge both IT professionals and C-suite executives to plan strategically and move proactively. This session examines effective new approaches to redefine the network perimeter, gain real time network visibility and insight into who and what is on it, and control access automatically. Importantly, the session offers proven strategies for preventing and controlling APTs and other infections – whether from mobile devices, an online users’ “bad click” or other common hack attack strategies. Through new network visibility and control, organizations can secure their network and assets while supporting the productivity and freedom that mobility promises and users expect.

Today’s CIO is the legacy descendant of executives who began in the 1950’s in the Finance Departments of major companies, and were known as Data Processing Managers. As the world of computers evolved, so did the titles and responsibilities of these stewards of a company’s metric assets, and today, they are known as Chief Information Officers (CIO’s). Historically technically oriented, today’s CIO population is marching to the tune of far different drummers than in the past eras, with new job requirements, merging technology and business/organization envelopes, and challenging, new roles and career options as a result. With this evolution has also come new challenges to and introspection by CIO’s as to where this is all going, who am I really from a talent/skill/desire perspective, and where should I aspire to go in the future? The technology path often seems wildly divergent from the organization’s main business or institutional purpose, and the general management path seems to be filled with competence and experience requirements that many CIO cannot easily demonstrate and achieve within the scope of their responsibilities. The time requirements and compensation structures of many organizations are increasing limitations on personal life styles and desires. And, it is often unclear as to how CIO’s can become more valuable, and more satisfied with the position today, as well as its growth options potential for the near future. Delta Max works with CEO’s and CIO’s all over the world to assist these top pros in analyzing and structuring both innovative new enterprise strategic and technical initiative programs, as well as counseling executives as to achieving their own personal career goals concomitant within their organization’s goals and objectives. In this session, Delta Max President/CEO Robert Swanson examines the scope of these issues faced by CIO’s and suggests some strategies for determining your own ideal career path, and developing an effective game plan to achieve it. Takeaways from this session are an increased understanding of the complex nature of today’s CIO career issues, and developing a new insight towards implementing your own career development plan, regardless of which role option is most appealing to you.

What percentage of the US population has internet access? Would you be surprised to know that the percentage is 85%? This means that about 48 million people don’t have internet access. In 2000, the number was almost half of the US population. Despite the ubiquity of smart phones and tablets, many American are still digitally disconnected. Some alarming statistics. 23% of US households don’t have a computer at home. About a fifth of LA and OC residents are not connected to the internet. This number jumps to almost 50% for Latino residents. Internet adoption is closely related to a number of demographic variables like age, education, household income, race and ethnicity, and type of community. Mobile devices and wireless access are exploding, but let’s make it clear that wireless is not a substitute for a wired connection. It’s difficult to apply for a job or for college in a mobile device. Being connected and plugged in is key in today’s world. The US is 18th worldwide in access to home broadband and digital learning content. Fifty percent of today’s jobs require technology skills and that number will grow to 77% in the next years. Today, 100,000 computers are thrown away each day and 80% of technology is currently being discarded into landfills. E-waste represents 2% of landfills but 70% of the toxic waste. Only about 12% of e-waste is being recycled. See the Problem. Be the Solution. That solution is to recycle technology. Be sure that old electronic gear is not being discarded in landfills or sent abroad via containers. Join Human-I-T in recycling technology and having this technology go into the hands of low-income households and other nonprofits.

Alexandra Gunther is a Product Marketing Manager at Aerohive Networks, where she helps define market strategy and vision for the cloud and WLAN products. She is a CWNA with a comprehensive background in wireless technology, including capacity and management planning, RF design, network implementation, and general industry knowledge.

Optimizing user mobile experience requires more than high speed Wi-Fi. IT professionals are facing challenges of capacity, flexibility, security, privacy, and visibility as they evaluate complex combinations of WLAN standards, management, and new technology like MU-MIMO. This session covers 802.11ac and upcoming WLAN standards, iBeacons, and building robust wireless networks.

Kowshik Bhat is the Director of Product Marketing at Xirrus. In this role, he interacts with customers, field sales and channel partners regularly. Kowshik has more than 18 years of experience in the networking and telecommunications industries. Prior to joining Xirrus, Kowshik worked as Global solutions marketing manager at HP and product marketing manager for mobility solutions at Intel.

The mobile enterprise challenges are mounting: enabling users simple and secure access to the network, ensuring applications run smoothly, and building sufficient capacity to handle usage and growth. A superior level of Wi-Fi design is required—something shown to be lacking by a recent report: “By 2015, 80% of newly installed wireless networks will be obsolete because of lack of proper planning.” An indication of the problem is that a wireless user is provisioned with less than 5% of the bandwidth of a wired user. This session will examine critical design components to ensure predictable performance, even under heavy loads.
