Arun Taneja will be moderating the "Enterprise is Back" panel on May 3, 1 - 2:15 pm ET:

New trends in the way data is generated, stored, processed and consumed are fueling the next generational evolution of Enterprise IT. Enterprise Data Center architectures are evolving from the traditional silos of dedicated infrastructure to cloud-like “IT factories”. Storage is undergoing dramatic changes with the appearance of Flash devices everywhere as well as dirt-cheap cloud storage. Mobility has become a necessity in today’s globally distributed enterprises and with hand-held endpoint devices becoming the primary way to consume and increasingly produce information. The virtualization phenomenon is taking the natural progression from servers to networking and storage and this is enabling the Software Defined Data Center. As key value propositions move around in the IT stack due to this confluence of economic, technology and human factors, new opportunities are opening up for entrepreneurship. This panel will bring together leaders in Enterprise IT to explore some of these opportunities.
