Greg has worked in IT for more than 15 years with stints at Sony, PriceWaterhouse Coopers, Cisco, and Check Point.
During that time, he has worked on the planning, design and implementation of large scale online and eCommerce deployments along with network infrastructure rollouts.
For engineers tasked with designing, deploying, and maintaining networks, securing those networks has become more challenging. Systems administrators are responsible for managing multiple platforms and their separate management platforms, each logging their “Big Data” in to secure their networks. Has the time come for a unified security solution that protects our networks, users, endpoints and information?
Justyna Bak joined Riverbed as a Solution Marketing Manager responsible for Hybrid Cloud, Video and Mobile solutions. In her former roles with Cisco Systems and Nokia Siemens Networks she was helping organizations, mainly from mobile service provider sector, to plan and execute network transformation and new product strategies.
Is a lion share of your IT infrastructure distributed across remote offices to satisfy performance needs of your employees? Do you operate multiple data centers because you fear that user experience decreases the farther they are away from the data center? If at least one of your answers is “YES” your IT environment is not just complex and expensive to manage, it may be a ticking bomb. Unprotected storage hanging at the branch offices carries a risk of security breach. Handling too many data centers does not give you the flexibility and efficiency you need to scale your business.
The good news is that with the latest innovation in IT performance you can:
– Consolidate entire data centers for greater efficiencies without affecting end-user experience
– Centralize and secure your business critical data without breaking applications
– Extend your virtualization efforts to remote locations to simplify troubleshooting and operations
Join Justyna Bak as she walks you through the latest recommendations on how to achieve the consolidation nirvana.
Join your IT peers for a complimentary luncheon including assorted sndwiches, salads, and dessert. This is a perfect opportunity to interact with other technology professionals in a relaxed environment.

Location analytics is more valuable than ever in gaining and maintaining competitive advantage in this era of Big Data insights and with the increasing use and availability of location data.Unfortunately, advanced visualization and analysis of your data may be difficult or cost prohibitive.
The Cloud’s robust, and highly scalable storage options and computational power have contributed to the rise of the Web and mobile app economy by serving up ubiquitous and affordable consumer applications.Cloud technology has also given rise to advanced visualization and spatial analysis options that were once the exclusive purview of professional analysts working in dedicated GIS departments with specialized software.Now, individuals with no background in GIS can use familiar tools such as Excel, PowerPoint, or a Web browser to leverage advanced Cloud-based location analytics services to map, visualize, analyze, and share their data.The resulting alternative views and interactions with their data can help organizations gain new and valuable insights, identify opportunities, and make better decisions.In this presentation, Cloud-based location analytics is demonstrated in a simple yet powerful retail site selection workflow using a basic Excel table of addresses.
