The SNIA is pleased to announce the Call for Participation
in our upcoming Enterprise Information World Conference,
August 6 to 9, 2007, at the Moscone Convention Center, San Francisco, California,
USA . We are also announcing that SNIA's Enterprise Information World 2007
will be co-located with IDG's Next Generation Data Center Conference.
The SNIA's Enterprise Information World 2007 conference
committee is looking for presentations that represent best practice solutions to
real business problems that match the subject areas of each track program. Each
session is one hour in length providing time for a solution overview and a customer-case
study. Presentations with customers and/or by IT, RIM, business, or security professionals
will be given priority.
SNIA's Enterprise Information World Conference Tracks and Topic Areas
TUTORIALS
– Day 1, consisting of 3 hr workshops on each topic – attendee workbooks are required.
(Examples are posted below and we're open to other ideas)
Collaboration Workshop – a workshop on how to pull your organization together,
getting IT, RIM, security, legal, and the business group to cooperate. Programs
to classify information and set requirements are critical to the organization. One
important outcome is to give IT the ability to instrument and administrate the datacenter
infrastructure to meet those requirements over the lifecycle of the information.
Many organizational barriers prevent collaboration from becoming a reality. This
workshop will develop methods to overcoming those barriers in an interactive and
multi-faceted program.
ILM Assessment and Classification – The first step in implementing an ‘information-based
management’ practice begins with assessing your information requirements and then
establishing classifications and requirements. This tutorial will teach classification
principles and then take the audience through a mock assessment and classification
process applying principles and methods that they can take home and apply to their
own organization.
Information Protection – This tutorial will cover best practices for protecting
information from loss, damage, or corruption including recovery practices and alternatives
in an ILM context.
Information-based Security – This tutorial focuses on the privacy/confidentiality,
integrity, availability, and discovery/deletion aspects of information security
in an ILM context.
TRACK PROGRAM
– Days 2-4, consisting of 1 hr. sessions which can
contain several activities ranging from presentations, case studies, panels, or
combinations.
Three concurrent tracks:
Managing Information - Protecting Information - Preserving Information
Track 1: Managing Information
-- Transform your organization into an Information-Centric Enterprise by using the
value of Information as the basis for management and IT operations. Information-based
management, utilizing standards-based practices such as Information-Lifecycle-Management
(ILM), is the best new approach to reducing cost and complexity in the datacenter
and will enable and support other new information-centric architectures such as
Enterprise Grids.
– Content areas include: information classification methods and tools, ILM-based
practices, ILM management methods and solutions, ILM case studies, tiering, archiving,
enterprise application-based ILM practices such as databases, CRM, e-mail, document
and content management systems, plus other applications utilizing ILM-based practices.
-- Sessions will be structured around: Information-based Management, Application-based
ILM, and ILM 'Best Practices'
Track 2: Protecting Information
-- The 50 year old tape-based backup practice is shifting away from tape by integrating
disk and replication. Protecting information has many elements ranging from
business continuity and disaster recovery, to continuous protection, to security
and compliance requirements.
– Content areas include: best practices for protection, recovery, de-duplication,
security, confidentiality, protection, availability, and integrity, including discovery
and deletion and how these practices fit into an ILM-based operating practice.
-- Sessions will be structured around: information and storage security, protecting
your information, and new technologies.
Track 3: Preserving Information
-- More and more data is being kept online for longer and longer periods of
time. Compliance requirements now stretch far beyond what traditional IT practices
are capable of accommodating. Long term digital information retention is a requirement
- yet much information is at risk of being lost. Preservation methods and practices
for storage have to be updated.
– Content areas include: best practices for long term digital information retention,
establishing requirements and policies, best practices for storage compliance and
long term preservation, example applications and case studies, compliance practices
and tools, and other disciplines such as physical and logical migration, discovery,
and deletion -- all delivered in the context of ILM-based methods because
of the requirement to holistically automate these practices.
-- Sessions will be structured around: long term digital information retention and
compliance practices.
