About EVOLVE
EVOLVE is the innovation conference for enterprise storage - and everything that it touches. From the enterprise application, down to the medium it runs on, infrastructure affects the performance of your organization.
Enterprise organizations are fueled by the interactions between technology partners and IT sector leaders. How we integrate them together will determine the success, or failure, of the organization. EVOLVE is meant to bridge that gap by providing companies with contextual based information on how to best make decisions that will affect how their infrastructure runs in a virtualized, hyper-accelerated, flash-based world.
Come for the Technology. Stay for the Laughs!
This year Jay Pharoah returned to Studio 8H for his fourth season. Pharoah is most known for his wide array of uncanny celebrity impressions including President Barack Obama, Will Smith, Denzel Washington, Stephen A. Smith and Kanye West, as well as for his recurring character of school principal Daniel Frye.

EVOLVE 2014 Theme: Flash Meets Cloud
With flash revolutionizing data centers and cloud models transforming the architectures of both enterprise applications and service providers, there’s never been a better time or opportunity to step back and re-think the technology roadmap for your organization. EVOLVE 2014 will provide an opportunity to discuss some of today’s foremost IT architecture questions:
- What infrastructure strategies can help accelerate my path to the cloud?
- How can I harness the flash revolution in my data center?
- How can my organization win in the data arms race?
- What can a “10X” transformation do for my business applications and services?
- How can I leverage commodity hardware and software-defined infrastructure models for greater efficiency?
