Tech summit pertinent for the Pacific Islands
A DELL Technologies representative to Fiji’s first tech summit says it gives the Pacific people and companies an opportunity to speak face to face allowing the sharing of information that enables them to deliver better solutions and services, and for them to update in person rather than over video conference.
Partner Presales at Dell Technologies, Antony Nicholson said “With natural disasters or manmade misadventure, it takes longer period to recover.
“We would like to discuss issues that we are all facing with recovering from an incident and being confident with the data that we are bringing back”.
A press release from Datec (Fiji) Pte Ltd said Mr Nicholson wanted to make this session interactive in a way for audience to get involved and talk more about scenarios at the exhibition booth.
Mr Nicholson is scheduled to talk about Cyber Resilience and Recovery Solution Strategies on Day 1 of the tech summit and on Day 2 he will talk about cost effective and next-gen enterprise storage solutions and overview of the architecture that could be managed centrally for spread out deployments as some infrastructure would be throughout the Pacific Islands.
According to Datec Mr Nicholson was a finalist for two technical excellence awards one of which was the ANZ NetApp award and the Reseller New Zealand and he shared that there was a lot back in the days with Networker and EMC where they used to deploy rapid restoration methods using snapshots etc.
It said around data protection this had been part of what Mr Nicholson had done for 20+ years, implementing backup and DR solutions and performing testing/failover to systems, each time going to the next-level and improving on what was previously deployed or utilized.
The two days summit is scheduled to kick start next month at the InterContinental Fiji Resort in Natadola and will feature highprofile speakers in the tech world.
