After a relaxing break for the holidays, Storage Visions 2012 was a great way to ease back into the swing of things.

It’s that time of year. We’re busy finishing up all those loose ends that were to be done “before the end of the year” as well as juggling family and holiday plans.

This got me to thinking about the unexpected and another comment that piqued my interest that day.

The inaugural Influencer Summit 2011 was a tremendous success!

Yesterday, HDS announced our roadmap for the information cloud to help customers transform data so it can be better used as a strategic asset with the goal of fostering more business insight and innovation. Miki Sandorfi, our Chief Strategy Officer for Cloud, also explained yesterday in his post how our 3-tier strategy builds—starting from infrastructure cloud to provide more dynamic infrastructure, then layering content cloud to enable more fluid content, and then finally building to information cloud to facilitate more sophisticated insight. Miki also reviewed some of the new Hitachi Cloud Solutions and Services that were announced to help customers achieve this goal.

The trends are clear and spectacular.
We create, collect and store an immense amount of data and information at an exponential rate.

HDS is excited to be a Premier Sponsor at this year’s Gartner Symposium/ITxpo 2011 held October 16 - 20, 2011 in Orlando, FL. Attendees should expect the conference to be packed full of classes, labs, and have access to tons of information on emerging technologies. A few key examples on how the agenda has expanded from last year: Read More »

Last week I posted a review of the definitions and differences of data, information, knowledge and wisdom (DIKW) on this blog. I wanted to continue that thread to look at why it’s important to understand these sometimes-subtle distinctions.
