Breakout Sessions Detail

Infranet Overview – Pre-Event Breakout

Infranet has been providing IT consulting and solutions to mid-sized organizations since 1998.  If you are new to Infranet or not familiar with the comprehensive suite of products and services we provide, this would be an excellent opportunity to meet with our executives and learn how we partner with Cisco, EMC, Green Cloud and all the other participating vendors at the trade show.

Cisco Unified Collaboration – Breakout #1

For growing businesses, having intimate customer relationships and being able to respond quickly and cost-effectively to changing needs are the hallmarks of success.

To stay ahead of the competition, your teams and stakeholders need to communicate effectively and act decisively. Your collaboration tools need to be easy to use and deliver exceptional results. But with limited IT resources, keeping up with the latest innovations in communications and collaboration technology can seem a daunting task.

With high-definition video, voice, content sharing, messaging, and chat, our solutions help you to:

  • Improve the quality and speed of decisions
  • Increase employee engagement, mobility, and productivity
  • Reduce workplace, travel, and IT operations related costs
  • Enhance customer relationships

EMC Hyper Converged Infrastructure – Breakout #2

Converged Infrastructure technology brings together the disparate infrastructure elements that power IT, including servers, data storage devices, networking functions, virtualization, management software, orchestration, and applications.  Hyper-converged Infrastructure integrates the key types of IT components that Converged Infrastructure does, but in a scalable appliance allowing you to modernize your data center with simplified management, improved performance and elastic scalability.  In this breakout, you will learn more about EMC’s hyper-converged infrastructure appliances delivery benefits which include:

  • Simplified Management: Hyper-converged infrastructure provides centralized management that enables faster, better, and simpler management of consolidated workloads.
  • Built to Start Small and Scale: IT organizations can start small and easily scale capacity and performance by non-disruptively adding appliances to the cluster without the investment or up-front planning required with traditional infrastructure.
  • Optimized Workloads: Through a variety of native automation tools, hyper-converged infrastructure optimizes and simplifies the deployment of a variety of use cases including virtual desktops, business-critical applications, and remote office infrastructure.

Cisco Powered IaaS by Green Cloud Computing – Breakout #3

Not all cloud services are created equal.  That’s why when you choose cloud or managed services to compliment your premise-based solutions, you want to be sure that the technology powering your services leads the industry in performance and scalability. Cisco Powered services give your organization the agility to blend cloud and managed services with premise-based solutions so you can efficiently implement and consume new services without diverting your focus from your core business. You’ll achieve faster time to value, experience assured performance, and leverage continuous innovation.

Only Cisco Powered services bring together best-in-class technology and market leadership with:

  • Proven Cisco validated architectures
  • Rigorous partner certifications
  • Third-party audits of provider solutions and services
  • Documented scalability through independently-validated architecture tests
  • End-to-end security: from network, to data center, to applications
  • A company wide and partner commitment to open standards
  • One of the highest percentages of R&D investment-to-revenue

Cisco Security Overview – Breakout #4

Changing business models, a dynamic threat landscape, and complex, fragmented security solutions call for a new security model.

To deal with today’s biggest security challenges, organizations need a simpler, scalable, threat-centric approach that addresses security across the entire attack continuum – before, during, and after an attack.

  • Before an attack, you need comprehensive awareness of and visibility showing what’s on the extended network so you can implement policies and controls to defend it.
  • During an attack, the ability to continuously detect malware and block it is critical.
  • After an attack, you need to marginalize the impact of an attack by identifying point of entry, determining the scope, containing the threat, eliminating the risk of re-infection, and remediating.

In this breakout you will learn how the Cisco threat-centric security model is built to address your biggest security challenges, cover the entire attack continuum, and reduce security gaps and complexity caused by disparate products and disjointed solutions.
