SUMMARY: POWER PUB:

The Power Pub on August 17 around autonomic data management drew
a diverse group of Valley executives, technology experts and telecom
folks from SAP, HP, IBM, Hitachi, British Telecom, DeTeCon, CommerceNet
and many others. As with all the Power Pubs, the discussion opened
up to the group after Collin Bruce's initial presentation on the
current reality of autonomic data management. Here is a summary
of the key questions asked by Power Pub participants:
- Who owns the data?
- Does there need to be a trade-off between the device and the
network? What really should be "smart" in this autonomic ecosystem?
- What are we going to do to assure data integrity in a self-configuring,
self-healing system?
- What should we, as consumers, be choosing: 100% data integrity
or high performance?
- When the system is handling data from machine to machine, how
does the network deal with that?
- How much customization is required for our own application
(e.g., CRM) to work with the Solid Tech data management solution?
We have become accustomed to picking up the telephone and always
having a dial tone, whether we are at home or on the road. Turning
on a radio and hearing a traffic report or having it pushed down
to the DVD player in our car. Switching on the TV and seeing our
favorite show or start our TiVo and watch at our leisure . . . without
all the advertising! Clicking on an icon and always getting access
to the Website we want.
The original Guiding Questions for the Pub Exchange were:
- Data management is at the heart of today's "soft switched"
infrastructures/environments. But how do we manage them for high
availability -- 99.999% and better -- and still cover every device
from the data center with its terra bytes of data to diskless
mobile devices (your cell phone or Blackberry)?
- As I develop my distributed application, how do I keep all
parts synchronized as I move from device to device or place to
place?
- How do I recoup development time if I have to manage the infrastructure
or the fundamental processes required for a complex multi-media
application?
