| 09.00 | Welcome & Introduction |
| 09.15 – 09.45 | KEYNOTE - Simplify IT |
| Organizations struggle with the complexity of technology. Dell is forging a path to simplify IT by building a low-touch uniform infrastructure which spans the desktop to the data center. Learn how this helps to reduce cost and complexity, enabling you to reclaim the time, money, and personnel needed to make innovation a daily business practice. |
| 09.45 – 09.50 | Split Group / Change Rooms |
| TRACK 1: Realize your workforce Potential |
TRACK 2: Reveal your hidden Datacenter |
| Users are becoming increasingly mobile, demanding for more flexibility and the boundaries between work and personal live are blurring, but how can IT support this without losing control? By attending the sessions in this content track, you will learn how to achieve this and find out how to fully realize your workforce potential. | You are running out of space, and your utility bills are skyrocketing, but your customers’ demands only continue to grow – faster than your IT budget. Learn how to drive cost and complexity out of the data center to deliver more compute capacity for less than you’re probably spending right now. It’s like having a hidden data center, right inside your current one. |
| 09.50 – 10.20 | MOBILITY Protect, Connect, Anywhere, Anytime |
VIRTUALIZATION Bringing Logic to the Virtual World |
| As your workforce becomes more mobile, their needs increase as well. Productivity relies on their notebook’s connectivity, battery life, and durability. They need solutions that can go with them into a wide range of non-traditional and challenging environments. And as mobility enables a greater level of collaboration, users require new levels of support to fully engage with each other. Dell not only delivers mobile solutions to meet these evolving needs, but we also provide tools which simplify the deployment, management, and security of your clients. These solutions hold fast to our philosophies of commonality and long product lifecycles to keep your TCO in check. | Costly, unplanned server and storage sprawl wastes money, time, and space. Virtualization promises to help, but you want to make an informed decision. Dell is leading the industry in making Virtualization a standardized, mainstream architecture. Virtualization with Dell is simple, logical and pervasive so it´s better, faster, with no lock.in agenda. This session covers how Dell helps simplify virtualization deployment and ongoing management with optimized systems, fast-start services, and an open approach to management. Our virtualization solutions provide an efficient and agile foundation that can easily scale in-step with your business. |

| 10.25 – 10.55 | FLEXIBLE COMPUTING Achieve IT Control & End-User Flexibility |
DATA CONSOLIDATION & MANAGEMENT Change the Economics of Storage |
| End-users want to be able to work where they want, when they want, and on a wide range of devices. This has fueled increased concern for IT around data security, manageability, and compliance. Dell understands these challenges, and in response has developed an array of Flexible Computing Solutions aimed at giving IT centralized control of all end-user data and images. This provides better security, easier manageability, and reliable accessibility, while still letting end-users work anywhere, anytime, and eventually on any device. This session provides an overview of Dell’s Flexible Computing vision, introducing the virtualization and network-based solutions which will enable this centralized control for IT. | Data growth is out of control, and some of that data can be stranded, hard to find, or isolated from your consolidated storage. In order to make storage consolidation available to everyone, Dell is leading the iSCSI revolution. Whether you use Fibre Channel or cope with servers on your Ethernet, our iSCSI solutions provide the perfect complement. Learn about our storage solutions and how they can help to change the economics of storage. |
| 10.55 – 11.25 | Coffee Break |
| 11.25 – 11.55 | UNIFIED COMMUNICATIONS Remove Barriers to Communications |
POWER & COOLING Compute More, Consume Less |
| Teamwork is key to your success, but it´s hard to collaborate when everyone is “on the go”. Phone and video conferencing, e-mail, and messaging all help, but can you really afford the digital age? Unified Communications (UC) simplifies communications by connecting your messaging tools and displaying the real-time availability of everyone in your organization. Learn how to develop a streamlined roadmap for the implementation of UC. | Dell understands that limited space, power, and cooling capacity—coupled with rising energy costs—make it difficult for your company to keep up with explosive data growth and increasing performance requirements. The market is increasingly focused on environmental responsibility, but you can´t sacrifice service levels. Learn how you can increase data center performance by up to 97% with zero increase in energy consumption through a combination of energy optimized technologies, virtualization, and best practices. Find out more about Dell’s comprehensive, energy-efficient suite of solutions including Energy Smart servers, blade servers, virtualization, and advanced cooling technologies which help you compute more while consuming less. |

SYSTEMS MANAGEMENT Reclaim Your IT Resources |
| Technology powers every part of your organization, but every part of your organization has different – and growing – needs. Meanwhile, your users and legacy systems must be supported, and with ever more aggressive service-level requirements – with a limited budget and fixed resources. Learn how Dell´s broad range of Service and Support offerings can help you reclaim your IT resources to what really matters: Your Business. | In most organizations, administration expenses are outpacing new technology spend. In this session, learn how Dell’s approach to systems management can help simplify, streamline, and scale your IT operations more efficiently. |
