Transforming Government Operations with Data Lake 2.0 Technologies

At the Cloudera Federal Forum last year, we presented ideas, solutions, and examples of how the IT landscape is constantly changing, and the evolving challenges for Federal agencies to protect their most valuable resource – data. These challenges still remain today – the digital universe is expanding at an exponential rate, and is projected to double in size every two years. By 2020, the data we create and copy annually will reach 44 zettabytes.

How will agencies provide sufficient storage for large, diverse sets of data streaming in from all sources? How will they securely access and leverage data from mobile and remote edge operations, across their core enterprise, to address streaming, real-time analytics, and decision support? And, how can they best use all the open and industry standard protocols and access methods to enable operational flexibility for their users and customers?

The answer is increasingly clear – via the power of Data Lake 2.0 capabilities that deliver simple, secure edge-core-cloud enterprise grade services.

Join Us March 15

At this year’s Cloudera Federal Forum on Tuesday, March 15, I look forward to being on the Main Stage Panel discussing “Evolving Government Operations with Transformative Technologies” along with other distinguished government and industry leaders.

This panel will be introducing concepts, answering questions, and discussing the impact of massive data growth across the Federal government, Big Data analytics, security and privacy – and why transformational solutions are necessary.

I look forward to discussing some of our most innovative solutions, including, but not limited to:

• EMC Isilon Data Lake 2.0 edge-core-cloud capabilities

• Free-and-frictionless Software Defined Storage (SDS) solutions, such as: IsilonSD Edge, Elastic Cloud Storage (ECS) for web, mobile, and cloud applications, as well as the ScaleIO software-only, server-based SAN with scale-out performance

• Recently announced DSSD D5 Rack-Scale Flash that delivers superior IOPS, throughput and latency metrics for the most data-intensive applications to enable complex, real-time data processing, and real-time analytics and insight. This transformative type of operational environment allows agencies to securely store, manage, and protect data for traditional and emerging workloads

It’s not too late to register for the Cloudera Federal Forum, and learn how to advance your agency’s data analytics initiatives while saving time, money, and resources. I hope to see you at my 2:10 panel to learn and share more about how your agency can evolve government operations with transformative technologies.
