Mr. Talwalkar’s presentation, titled “Building a Smarter Cloud: The Role of Intelligent Silicon in the Data Deluge,” will examine the impact of today’s explosive data growth on datacenter and mobile network architects implementing next-generation cloud infrastructures.
Greg Huff, LSI Senior Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer, is also presenting at the Cloud Leadership Forum. Mr. Huff’s presentation, titled “Accelerating the Cloud with Flash,” will examine different ways to use flash technology to accelerate applications and solve datacenter latency issues without disrupting existing infrastructure.
What: Keynote Address by Abhi Talwalkar, LSI President and CEO
Mr. Talwalkar will discuss how a massive global data deluge, driven by key factors such as social media, video and the mobile Internet, has companies migrating to cloud architectures to help manage rising costs and strategic technical challenges. With network traffic and data projected to grow faster than IT investments, datacenters and mobile networks will need to adopt new approaches to contend with the massive demand, driving the need for “intelligent silicon” that can recognize and prioritize what data is important and help enable a smarter cloud.

What: Presentation by Greg Huff, LSI Senior Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer
The rapid increase in processor performance and the deployment of highly virtualized datacenters have placed increasing stress on storage, to the point that storage is often the bottleneck to greater application performance. Flash, with high performance, low latency and reduced power consumption, holds the key to accelerating application performance, but it has traditionally been difficult to deploy. LSI Chief Strategy Officer Greg Huff will talk about different ways to use flash to accelerate applications without disrupting existing infrastructure.
