1. Technology trends: Skilling our youth for a very different world Brendan McAravey Country Leader

2. Malcolm Gladwell Opportunity : Magical 10 000 hours

3. Winning : Not getting stuck in the old world Wayne Gretzky “I skate to where the puck is going to be, not where it has been.”

5. Trends Changing the World of IT 70% of CXOs expect to see a significant or complete IT overhaul in the next 3 years 350m employees will use smartphones—200 million will bring their own deviceby 2016 11EB of data per month will be generated by mobile devices by 2016 10% growth of financial impact of cybercrime through 2016 as new vulnerabilities are detected

7. Connect and Security Explosion of data, devices and anytime, anywhere connectivity Greater productivity Smartphone users work 240 hours per year more than the general workforce 50% companies allowing BYODhave experienced a security breach Nearly half number of millennials who will make up the workforce in eight years • 182 billion • mobile application downloads by 2015 • 50% • of business mobile devices to be personally owned by 2015 1/3 admit to breaking or would break policy to use personal devices 1. Dell case study: 7-Eleven; 2, Salesforce.com

8. What is clear: traditional work has changed • Who will be in high demand • People who can design sophisticated software that automatically manages devices. • People with the ability to develop apps for mobile platforms. • People who understand networking and security. • We will need to build expertise in managing remote work forces.

10. By 2015, organizations that build a modern information management system will outperform their peers financially by 20 percent. Gartner, “Information Management in the 21st Century“ 4.4 million IT jobs globally will be created to support big data. Only 1/3 will be filled

11. What is Big Data? "Big data refers to high volume, high velocity, and high variety of data that requires new technologies to process, store, and realize new insights” • Volume • Size of the data is exploding at a rateof 650% over thenext 5 years. Velocity 92%annual growthin data traffic from2010 to 2015 • Variety • 95% Unstructured Data

12. Confidential Hadoop and Big Data • Hadoop is an open source highly scalable platform for consolidated data storage (HDFS) and processing (MapReduce) • Designed to manage Big Data sets and volumes Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) MapReduce = Opportunity 14

13. Applications of Big Data Business Intelligence Operationalizing analytics will bring predictive, actionable knowledge Services

15. The Journey to Cloud starts with Virtualization Physical Consolidation Virtualization Cloud Application OS • Increase Efficiency • Reducing physical server sprawl • Virtualizing test & devworkloads • Creating resource pools • Improving operations and management • Improve Reliability • Virtualizing mission-critical applications • Improving availability and business continuity • Establishing a “virtual first"policy • Enhance Flexibility • Nearing 100% virtualized • Automating end-to-end • Adopting self-service delivery • Standardized catalog of services Primary focus: VM VM VM VM VM VM VM VM VM VM VM VM VM VM VM VM App VM OS VM OS VM App VM VM VM VM VM OS App Virtualization Hardware Hardware Virtualization – the concept of a pool of resource -has impacted not only compute but networking and storage

16. Are your students ready for the “new normal” -Virtualization 2X 90% Total serverinstalled base Physical server installed base Of enterprises now have a virtualization program or project in place Source: Gartner1 X86-server virtualization will double from 40% in 2011 to 80% by 2016 Source: Gartner2 70M 60% Users, about 50% of total installed professional desktops will shift to hosted virtual desktops in 2014 Source: Gartner2 Of all new server workloads are virtualized Source: Gartner3 Sources: 1 Gartner, Inc., “Virtualization Improves IT Functions and Processes,” G00218877, Philip Dawson, September 28, 2011 2 Gartner, Inc., “Virtualization Key Initiative Overview,” G00214309, Philip Dawson & Chris Wolf, July 22, 2011 3 Gartner, Inc., “Best Practice: Virtualize Your IT Systems Incrementally to Reduce Costs,” G00218910.

18. High Performance Computing (HPC) Not just for mad scientists …anymore

19. Amdahl’s Law Vs Moore’s Law To Compute … you must have the Right Architecture Balance of SERIAL and PARALLEL “The speedup of a program using multiple processors in parallel computing is limited by the sequential fraction of the program.” - Gene Amdahl

20. The right answer, right away, at the right price About solving problems too big for conventional enterprise systems • 1976 : Cray-1 @ Las Alamos National Lab • 2007: 300TFlops installed for $250M @ Lawrence Livermore National Labs (LLNL), • running 6 codes for small group of researchers • 2010: 290 Tflops @ LLNL for $25M • Open science platform with scores of codes for hundreds of researchers • 2012: 10PFlops for $25M @ TACC • Serves hundreds of codes to thousands of researchers • 2015: Expect first Exascale solution • A system capable of at least one exaFLOPS. • One exaflops is a thousand petaflops or 1018, floating point operations per second.

21. A life changer Wait is a four letter word • Data intensive sequencing • Current data analysis time was 7 days. Goal was 5 days. • Result was that One 10U chassis of 32 x M420s was able to complete RNA-Sequencing pipeline in 1 hour. • Days to process genome data • ROI measured in lives saved • Weeks and months of time cut • Trials move toward personalized medical treatments

22. The Road to ISC 2013 • Post graduates from China, America, UK, Germany

23. South Africa Stuns the world by winning ISC 2013

24. Dell’s Equity Equivalent – Creating opportunities for out youth • Dell will build a state of the art HPC Solutions center in South Africa modeled after the center at Cambridge University and in conjunction with the Center for High Performance Computing (CHPC) • Dell will create an academy committed to the promotion of development of HPC skills • 2 year program for 5 graduates and 10 matriculants every year for the next 10 years. • Dell will fund the start up of 10 new business over the next 10 years – hopefully many of these will be in the area of HPC. • Dell will continue to support the local competition and would encourage as many universities to get involved. • Dell will continue to sponsor the South African students at the ISC Student Competition.

25. This is an area of Opportunity

26. The only constant

27. Malcolm Gladwell would ask: “Are we providing the right opportunities to our youth?”
