Summits and Virtual Events

Mobile Computing Summmit

Mobile Computing —At Work in the Enterprise

The mobile enterprise allows people to access whatever they need wherever they are.

Taking full advantage of devices people carry for everyday use, the mobile enterprise applications bring a tremendous range of information to employees as well as new services and contact points to customers.

At the same time, the mobile enterprise must provide the security, privacy, and regulatory compliance required for business activities.

The Mobile Computing Summit brings you the latest on mobile computing in the enterprise with an emphasis on smartphones, tablets, netbooks, and laptops. This event emphasizes the effective use and management of mobile computers and the security issues surrounding them. You’ll also have a chance to chat with those in the know about social computing within enterprises.

Flash Memory Summit

Flash Memory Summit focuses on flash memory, a type of constantly powered nonvolatile memory that can be erased and rewritten in units called blocks.  Flash is rugged, small, low-cost, low-power, and fast; it allows for compact systems with simple startup and low power consumption.  It is ideal for consumer applications such as cellphones, digital cameras, and music players, and is also useful in computers, communications systems, and military/defense applications.  It can replace hard disks for storage in applications where its higher cost is balanced by its smaller size, greater ruggedness, and lower power consumption.

Server Design Summit

Designing Next-Generation Servers

The Server Design Summit focuses on the design of next-generation servers ranging from simple blades to powerful high-end systems. Servers have the primary function of managing data transfers rather than actual computing. They generally operate in large racks in data centers. Problems include load balancing, power dissipation, consolidation, and expansion. Current issues include designing for virtualization and cloud computing, reducing power consumption, managing large numbers of servers (server farms), increasing throughput and performance, and bundling of servers, interfaces, and software into unified architectures. Other issues include the use of advanced interfaces and storage devices such as 10/40/100GbE, InfiniBand, NAS, SAN, and solid state drives.

AdvancedTCA Virtual Summit

AdvancedTCA Virtual Summit
June 16, 2011

FPGA Virtual Summit

FPGA Virtual Summit consists of five DSP/FPGA webcasts ina single day, covering key topics for today's design engineers. Attendees can participate from their desktops, loggin-in throughout the day for their relevant topics. Each webcast will wrap up with an "Ask the Experts" panel for engineers to ask their questions and network with vendors. There are only three participants per webcast.

Also, the final session of the day is the keynote event entitled the "Executive Round Table." Executives from the leading FPGA vendors will be discussing the "Future of FPGA" in a Q&A type session moderated by Chris Ciufo and Don Dingee. There are only four participants in the Round Table webcast.

The event has the bredth of a conference but without any travel cost or time and with complete freedom to enter or leave at any time. The Virtual Summit is thus a new approach, falling between a single webinar and a full-fledged conference.

Ethernet Technology Summit

Featuring the Latest Specs for 40/100 GbE, Fibre Channel Over Ethernet (FCoE), and Energy-Efficient Ethernet

Ethernet Technology Summit focuses on the latest advances in Ethernet technology, particularly the new specifications for 40/100 GbE, Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), and Energy-Efficient Ethernet. It features the latest information on these advances from the experts who are developing the specifications and designing the initial products for them. It is thus essential for those who are deciding whether to use the new specifications or design products for them or are in the initial stages of product design.
