Creating an Agile IT Infrastructure for Big Data
In this session we will explore the challenges organisations face when dealing with Big Data, be it in the field of analytics, bandwidth-intensive applications, or creating secure, boundless repositories to securely retain petabytes of data and billions of files. Attendees will be able to take away specific action items and suggestions to review their Big Data needs and ways to transform Big Data from a challenge to an opportunity – finding ways to offer better educational services and research infrastructure while reducing complexity and cost. Specifically, we will explore the world of Big Content – creating IT infrastructure that accommodates storing, managing and retrieving large amounts of data.
