I think I mentioned the key catalysts earlier…biz drivers were agility – quickly bring new products and services to market, reduction in IT budget and support growing numbers of connected customers & partners

Why #AFA? TTM, #analytics, SLA gains & mixed workload consolidation = @EMCXtremIO

Early adopters = 70% VDI use case. Today DB = 50%+ of the use case and also VM/VSI. Whilst VDI still growing Y/Y.

Today #Flash = Both operation optimization #TCO AND #DigitalTransformation! Today = Mixed workload consolidation with @EMCXtremIO #AFA

Most large enterprises are running short of DC floor space, IT manpower and energy to sustain the exponential growth in connected users, mobile devices and volume of #data

@EMCXtremIO Finding: Consolidating more & more App Workloads = stronger & stronger #ROI

Main #Flash benefits: quick data access & sharing; real-time insights, minimized latency & increased green footprint.

btw @EMCCorp Finding: Sometimes All Flash Data Center (AFDC) = AFA + HFA. All app workloads are not created equal. #HFA is Hybrid Flash Arrays @EMCCorp is #1 #Flash

So #Flash is a lot more than performance, its a key enabler for the agile data centre

The #earlyadopters are moving from #IToptimization to business value creation

Speed and operational excellence are key in today's times

It is all about business innovation to create sustainable competitive advantage

Respondents in the survey chose lower storage capex spend, reduced product development cycle & ability to better support growing stakeholders as top 3 drivers

The results were not surprising because it all starts with IToptimization before moving to business value creation and innovation

@AnubhaPandey - Totally agree! Speed is the new currency of business

Benefits, lower tco, workload consolidation, faster time to market, real-time analytics

I am looking forward to AEC and opening up of the region: greater need for technologies that help you stay ahead

To all on this chat - here's how businesses can be faster more agile in today's info-driven economy: https://reflectionsb...

Challenge: Storage & application sprawl. @EMCXtremIO solution: Enterprise scale for infrastructure & app workload consolidation.

More than half (60%) respondents face issues w/ rising application service levels demands.

#Flash can help solve that by delivering faster data-driven insights & affording 360º IT consolidation & optimisation.

#Flash can help business significantly reduce #datacenter floor space, energy costs for power & cooling and human IT capital.

#CIOs & IT managers have traditionally addressed #AppPerformance #throughput and latency issues by throwing more spinning disks when it was actually an #IO problem….#Flashstorage helps address that very problem

Copy Mgmt Challenge: >60% data from copies per @IDC. @EMCXtremIO solution: NEW integrated copy data mgmt = app consistency, integration, automated workflows, space efficiency & high performance

Customer Example: $100B+ Investment Mgmt firm @EMCXtremIO impact = 50% daily improved business process time #oracle analytics app. 70% less floor space. 125TB effective capacity on 4TB #Flash = 31:1 data reduction

An agile #DevOps organization in the future will only further accentuate the challenge of Copy Data Management

@rajnisharora I agree management of space and resources are key in today's resource constrained environments

Customer Example: $4B SW firm @EMCXtremIO impact = 20x faster dev ops, FREE DB copies for 3K+ App Developers with 600+ VMs

Asia is no different because most large #Datacenters in this part of the world are actually located in expensive metropolitan locations

#Flash addresses lots of operational challenges - storage sprawl, copy management, rising costs, management complexity

50 years?!?

You sure that's far enough into the future? #HAHA

Wow...that is a long time in the IT industry...

#SWAG 100% SW Defined with ALL Apps & ALL #Flash in the palm of one’s hand! #DreamBIG (err rather small).

The #datacenters of the future will be very different….almost all biz critical apps will demand much much higher levels of performance. #Batchprocessng will give way to OLTP!

@88_dmitri #ThinkForward50 :) What innovations do you think will be key to the future data centre?

The #datacentre of the future will be self-healing, self-optimizing, and will run on renewable energy.

Frictionless access to compute. Utility. SW Defined emphasis. Automated mgmt

Renewable energy! @rajnisharora That is an interesting thought and perfect given EMC's commitment to sustainability and the environment

Hope we'll all be here to see it!

I think #SWDefined that drives greater levels of automation, self service provisioning will be the keystones for future success

Looking forward to experiencing the data centre of the future!

The #DataCenter of the future is coming your way...stay tuned!

@rajnisharora Starting with #FLASH!!!

okay I think that's wraps up todays discussion

Wow. Heard so much today about the Agile Data Centre. Thanks everyone and @RajnishArora @88_dmitri for joining our #ThinkForward50 chat!

While today’s economic and financial environment in ASEAN is extremely complex, it also represents huge growth potential if the right technologies are adopted

Now more than ever, it is important for companies to maintain agility in the data center as we approach regional integration, and #Flash provides this.

@EMCXtremIO = True scale >1PB usable capacity for today’s modern, agile all-flash data center. Consistent & predictable performance. Copy data mgmt. Multi-cluster mgmt. 5x9s availability. ASEAN no different

@88_dmitri @rajnisharora What do you think?

Market expansion into a larger ASEAN will mean that companies will be catering to a much larger customer base across multiple geos, requiring faster turnaround time - delivery of products and services and an Omni experience

ASEAN try #Transformational use cases: DB, Analytics, Cloud & Virtual Servers, VDI & DaaS = Workload Acceleration, Consolidation & Agility at the lowest TCO = @EMCXtremIO

with AEC greater opportunities with greater competition. Agility will be key

Why @EMCCorp? Think: EMC Global Support & Ecosytem of tightly integrated #Transformational & #Cloud Solutions

@rajnisharora #massive opportunity

Creating an Omni experience for customers will be pivotal for companies to succeed in the #3rdPlatform era

@rajnisharora #IOT #DigitalTransformation more important than ever ASEAN and beyond

Agreed, ASEAN companies need to digitally transform in order to better compete on the global stage

@rajnisharora #differentiation
