President India & SAARC
Director Global Accounts- Asia Pacific & Japan, EMC
Topic: Journey to the Private Cloud- Now or Never
The digital information in India is growing at 2x the worldwide rate which will create significant challenges for India’s CIOs and IT managers for two reasons. First, enterprises have responsibility for the storage, protection and management of 80 percent of the Digital Universe , and this liability will only increase as social networking and Web 2.0 technologies continue to invade the enterprise.

Second, while digital information will grow 60-fold, enterprise investments in IT and staffing will grow only in single digits. The cumulative effect is driving CIOs to transform traditional infrastructures into private cloud data centers that offer internal and external customers IT as a service.
