Data Management Sessions at Dell Technologies World 2022

Data, data everywhere…not a byte to use!??

As much as enterprises are getting ready to brace for the Data Decade, it is a path paved with complexities, difficult choices and driving transformation at its most visceral levels of an organization. It needs far more elaborate thought than merely shopping for the best-in-breed technology tools and expecting a magical turnaround of your business. Those who have made the first strides of success would acknowledge the importance of looking at the data transformation journey in its entirety across people, processes and technology. While there is generic industrial wisdom that comes to aid, every business and every enterprise is distinct in who they are, where they are on the transformation journey and what they want to achieve out of it. Add to that the ever-changing face of the business and technology landscape – multi-cloud, edge, 5G, regulatory laws, etc. What you need is a data strategy that is timeless and allows you to invest towards sustainable growth.?

At Dell, we have long believed that data is and will be the essence of every business. Our rich portfolio of offerings is a testament to our deep commitment and mastery over the art and science of data. This Dell Technologies World, we welcome you to hear from the very best in the industry on how to craft the right data strategy for your organization. These sessions will be hosted by experts from the Future of IT – Data Management team. Here is a list of sessions for your reference.?

1. Next-Generation Data Cataloging and Data Discovery across a Multi-Cloud Environment – Kiran Subbarao (Director, Product Management, Data Management Incubation), Teneil Lawrence (Moderator, Consultant, Product Marketing)?

As an organization evolves, datastores transition creating silos across the core, cloud and edge. These data silos reduce visibility and complicate the process of locating and accessing data. A common solution to boost data discovery is data cataloging—creating an organized inventory of the company's data assets. But is this enough to make data accessible across an enterprise? Join us to discover what a next-generation data-cataloging strategy entails and what it could mean for your business. ??

Due to rapid digitization, data warehouses and data lakes have proliferated from core to cloud to edge, creating massive data sprawls and silos. To enable innovation at speed and scale, businesses have resorted to costly Extract, Transform and Load (ETL) processes for cross-silo data activation. A key element to solving this hybrid environment challenge now lies in data virtualization. In this session, we'll explore data virtualization within a broader data fabric as the missing component to data management for the modern era. ?
