We live in the Information Age, yet data threatens to overwhelm us. New types of data, new technologies for managing that data, and new ways to use that information to drive business innovation are being introduced on a daily basis. But the complexity of accessing and managing all that data is increasing at an exponential pace. You can't afford to wait months to implement a new business idea. You can't afford to recode each time you adopt a new approach or tap into a new type of data. And you don,t want to be crushed by the combined weight of new technologies and your existing infrastructure.

This presentation will give a broad overview on Informatica virtual data machine (VDM) called Vibe and it's the reason our customers can map once and deploy anywhere in the cloud or on premise; in databases, applications, middleware, or on a Hadoop cluster; in batch, request/response, or real time. With Vibe, change is not your enemy—change is your competitive weapon.
