As the storage landscape continues to change, the industry must differentiate and mature its business beyond a standardized market by designing new platforms, features and products for specific customers and application workloads. New products and services in the cloud are fueling the growth for faster storage solutions and improvement in throughput and I/O performance with no latency. Economical and operational pressures in the data center to do more with less are driving the need for reduced total cost of ownership (TCO).
In his Day 3 Keynote at the 13th International Cloud Expo®, Steven Campbell, CTO at HGST, will address industry “pain points” that are keeping IT managers up at night, and the solutions that will help them sleep better.

Ensuring Platform Success by Growing Ecosystems
In the past, innovation in the IT industry consisted of a few large vendors developing hardware and software products in virtual isolation. This behavior stemmed from the desire to hide trade secrets from competition and maintain a lead in the market. Few solutions dominated the IT landscape and gave customers limited options while allowing products to thrive on high profit margins. Ever since the success of Linux, the market has been moving to a new paradigm in which hardware and software platforms harness co-development supported by a larger ecosystem of developers and partners.
WebRTC Summit | Wrangling WebRTC in the Cloud: Taming the Beast
WebRTC as a technology for real-time communication is gaining a lot of traction and as we move to using WebRTC in real-world use cases, how does a cloud-based WebRTC infrastructure fit into this equation?
In his session at WebRTC Summit, Badri Rajasekar, VP of Engineering at TokBox, will dive into various client-side considerations and what it takes to support them from a cloud offering perspective such as NAT traversal, mobile support, quality of experience, signaling and analytics. He will also delve into how this all fits together in the WebRTC landscape and what it takes to develop a cloud-based WebRTC offering.
