Experts. NOT Buzzwords.

We want to personally invite you to the OEM CTO Summit, our premier event for CTOs who evaluate, select and incorporate advanced technology into the products their companies deliver to customers.

It is an invitation-only event for product development and technology executives.

This is a chance to interact with Dell’s CTO staff and engage with other industry CTOs to discuss critical technology outlooks on the following subjects:

• Defining the path to acquisition
• Specialization of hardware for software workloads
• The new SaaS – Security as a Service
• OEM Customer Perspective Discussions

During this one-day event, you’ll enjoy conversations with visionary presenters and each other in an informal, highly-interactive setting where whiteboards will trump PowerPoint slides and brief Q&A’s will be replaced with technology “deep dives.”

Please select your preferred location:

• San Jose – June 7th
• Boston- June 21st
• Frankfurt- September 20th
• Tel Aviv – October 23rd
• Dell World – December 11-13

Distinguished speakers slated to present:

Subi Krishnamurthy – CTO, Dell Force10

Jon Ramsey – Dell Fellow, Dell SecureWorks

Steve Luning – Dell Fellow, Storage and Networking

Gaurav Chawla – Dell Distinguished Engineer, Storage and Networking

…and CTO customers in a compelling panelist discussions.

Discussion topics will include:

• Best practices for architecting a virtual environment that is resilient against failure and quickly recoverable from disasters
• Providing a seamless multi-layer approach to data protection to protect against downtime and data loss with a fluid data architecture
• How you can ensure the highest levels of availability, fault tolerance and enable rapid movement and recovery of resource pools

To do so, these Web leaders need a flexible, efficient, resilient and highly available architecture — characteristics that are highly prized by all enterprises operating in the competitive, global, always-on, “Big Data”-driven environment of today.

Join us for an in-depth discussion of how to apply the innovations honed for these Web leaders to your data center. You’ll learn:

• Why Web companies tend to choose a scale-out (rather than a scale-up) architecture
• The advantages of baking resiliency and availability into the software versus the more traditional hardware-based approach
• Why efficiency is even more critical in a “hyperscale” architecture Techniques these companies use to reduce TCO at the data center “factory” level, including power and cooling considerations
• Key building blocks for hyperscale architectures, including cloud computing, Hadoop, OpenStack and more.

Register today to secure your place in this fascinating behind the scenes look at how the techniques used by Web innovators can work for your data center.

Join us for an interactive discussion of the new challenges that are threatening network performance, plus strategies and technologies for evolving the network to keep pace with new demands.

You’ll learn:

• Why the network today is more vital to data center computing than ever
• How virtualization contributes to the dramatic growth in bandwidth needs
• The crucial role of connectivity in business operations and growth requirements
• How emerging server, storage, and networking solutions for virtualized environments are addressing the changing nature and volume of network traffic 10/40G consolidation for virtualized computing

Register today to secure your place in this dynamic, hour-long exploration of network challenges.
