CIOs have a lot to take in at this year’s EMC World, and plenty of new options to weigh for the software-defined world. The big launch at this year’s event was ViPR, a software-led storage platform that’s quickly becoming an important member of EMC’s growing federation of companies.

During our coverage of EMC World we uncovered more details on EMC’s strategy around its federation, as the company hopes to maintain each entity’s independence while offering a cohesive platform for integration. EMC’s messaging is certainly becoming more open, though there’s an important distinction between its streamlined federation and other open source initiatives disrupting datacenter infrastructure.

Lowe will help outline some tips for CIOs to navigate this evolving world, where software and DevOps become increasingly prominent in the datacenter.
