Reap The Benefits of Deploying IBM Smarter Storage

To make good business decisions you need to be able to analyze available information. But can you analyze the vast amounts and wide variety of information you have – not just structured data in databases, but e-mail, images, audio, video and more – so you can make the decisions that can keep you ahead of the market? You can’t afford to just keep adding disks – energy and management costs are becoming prohibitive – but you can’t afford not to store and take advantage of this data. How do you strike this balance?

Join IBM in 'Reap the Benefits for Deploying IBM Smarter Storage' event in your city and witness yourself with live demonstrations how IBM System Storage and Tivoli solutions can help you take advantage of the breakthrough economics of smarter computing.

Security & Big Data Event

With major security breaches and fraud incidents making international headlines, organizations are taking steps to address the growing problems of advanced persistent threats, fraud, and insider attacks. Traditional security technologies lack the sophisticated capabilities and visibility required to detect and protect against such attacks. At best, they solve a single facet of the problem. Smart cyber criminals can skirt those defenses and blend into the background noise of an organization’s operations. They’re skilled and patient enough to perform stealthy reconnaissance of an organization’s network over months or years, eventually seizing the right opportunity to steal sensitive information assets – intellectual property, credit card numbers, customer databases – commit fraud, or otherwise damage the enterprise.

The IBM solution

IBM Security Intelligence with Big Data provides exceptional threat and risk detection, combining deep security expertise with analytical insights on a massive scale. For forward-leaning organizations seeking advanced insight into security risks, the IBM solution – including IBM QRadar Security Intelligence Platform (US) and IBM Big Data Platform (US) – provides a comprehensive, integrated approach that combines real-time correlation for continuous insight, custom analytics across massive structured and unstructured data, and forensic capabilities for irrefutable evidence. The combination can help you address advanced persistent threats, fraud and insider threats.
