The session will show how new advancements enable enterprises to realize the benefits of cloud storage without giving up the control IT leaders associate with the most advanced on-premise storage infrastructure.

In the session, titled “Security for Untrusted Storage,” Rodriguez will address head-on the belief that cloud storage implies or requires enterprises to forfeit a level of control over their data.  Specifically, the session will explore the benefits of cloud storage, its application within the data center as a component, and new approaches to data encryption, key management, data integrity and data consistency that fundamentally change the use case for the cloud.

“The new reality is that users want access to their data from numerous locations and devices with the same performance and ease as the CIO at corporate headquarters,” said Rodriguez.  “The public cloud is getting harder and harder to ignore. The strategies for securing data in the public cloud are not all that different to how we already secure sensitive data on the Internet. We need to harness cloud storage for what it truly is: a new component that needs to be made secure and be integrated into our storage systems. Cloud storage is the new hard drive: elastic, resilient and available everywhere. These are extraordinary properties that can no longer be ignored when building out infrastructure.”
