Optimizing Application Delivery to Branch Offices
Thursday, September 18 - 2:00 pm–3:00 pm
The vast majority of workers currently reside in branch offices and access applications over a relatively low-speed, high-latency WAN. The use of the WAN causes many applications to perform badly. As a result, many vendors have deployed solutions to improve the performance of these applications. From a distance, all of these solutions in this area look similar. However, there are many significant differences between them. This will be a question and answer session that will identify the key differences between the current solutions.

What SOA and Web 2.0 Means to the Network
Friday, September 19 - 11:30 am–12:30 pm
Over the last couple of years SOA and Web services has been over-hyped. Now Web 2.0 is also over-hyped. Because of the hype, it is easy to dismiss these application development architectures as irrelevant. That would be a serious mistake. Both of these architectures are just in the early stages of influencing how applications are developed and applications build using either architecture are likely to run poorly and be difficult to manage. The panelists on this session will detail the management and performance issues associated with SOA and Web 2.0 and give their insight into what you can do to avoid them.

Security By Compliance - A Discussion of Information Risk Management's Greatest Challenge
Thursday, September 18 - 2:00 pm–3:00 pm
When most organizations today think about information protection, compliance is at the top of that list. This new level of consciousness has become a great benefit to information security professionals as well as their greatest nightmare. The leadership of many organizations are now falling into the trap of "Security by Compliance", which has created a false sense of security for them. They believe that if they meet their legal and regulatory compliance requirements, they have fulfilled their requirements for information risk management and protection. This panel will discuss the challenge of taking advantage of the benefits created by new compliance requirements, while also overcoming the challenge of this new operating procedure.

A Security Risk Management Maturity Model
Friday, September 19 - 9:00 am–10:00 am
Over the years, there have been numerous advancements in IT security designed and built with the purpose of mitigating the emerging or newly identified attack vector. As the old Latin adage states "Mater Artium Necessitas" or as we more commonly refer to it: "Necessity is the Mother of Invention". Do we as IT security professionals - the guardians of the corporate jewels - ever stop and holistically look at the ever growing hodge-podge of security solutions deployed in our environments and think: has my security architecture been built on the "Necessity is the Mother of Invention" philosophy? Is there a better way to approach IT security? Here's the good news there is!

The Business of Privacy
Friday, September 19 - 11:30 am–12:30 pm
Information privacy has become a major policy, technology, and business operations issue for organizations large and small in the corporate, government, financial, health care and retail, among other sectors. Compliance initiatives are not only complex, but can be very costly, cumbersome and confusing. As digital business communication continue to become more and more essential and ubiquitous, it is also contributing to a proliferation of personal customer data and information that organizations must protect. Clearly, corporations and technological developments haven't kept pace with data privacy needs. Information must be protected wherever it is collected, stored and used. This session will give audience members a 360-degree view of the privacy issues we face, and will inform audiences about how they can go beyond compliance to protect critical personal information while achieving greater business process efficiencies. Examples will be cited to illuminate key points.

"Green" Storage
Thursday, September 18 - 10:15 am–11:15 am
The next few years will bring widespread awareness of the environments impact (especially energy costs) associated with data storage. Already several regulations and initiatives (e.g. ROHS, WEEE, and Energy Star) affect manufacturers of storage components or computers. There are also some innovative storage technologies especially targeted towards energy conservation including MAID, along with the well-known alternatives of removable storage like tape and optical. Several vendors have also begun to offer data on power use, energy consumption and cooling loads in response to competitive pressures from other vendors and customers. Some vendors and consultants are offering energy modeling as part of their TCO analysis, either for competitive reasons or as part of their professional services portfolio. This presentation will quickly review basic engineering topics relevant to understanding "Green", including stuff you may have successfully avoided, such as environmental chemistry, thermodynamics, energy vs. power; and computational and storage density, as well as the resulting energy and cooling issues. Conceptual models sufficient to understand or even develop energy budgets will be taught. All of this will converge on a basic model for TCO that includes energy modeling. This session has been brought to you by the SNIA Green Storage Initiative.
