VMWare Tech Talk: The Software-Defined Datacenter
Oct 1; 5:45pm – 7:20pm; EEB 125
At VMware, we are pursuing a vision of the Software-Defined Datacenter (SDDC) where the infrastructure, including compute, storage, and networking, has been virtualized and fully automated by software. The promise of the SDDC is to enable IT organizations to deliver services with greater agility, lower cost, and increased reliability. This talk will cover the concepts behind the SDDC, and explore some of the technologies we are developing (e.g., storage and high availability) that underpin this vision.

Tableau Software Tech Talk: Data Analysis for Humans
Oct 2; 6:00pm – 7:30pm; EEB 125
At Tableau, our mission is to help people “see and understand data”. This talk will cover the challenges of making data useful, from building a new analytical engine from the ground up to creating a new language for data analysis to building world-class user experiences that let a wide variety of people ask and answer questions of their data.
Employer Panel
Oct 3; 5:30pm – 6:30pm; EEB 105
All CSE undergraduates who plan on pursuing an internship or full-time employment in 2012-13 should attend our CSE sponsored Employer Panel. The Employer Panel will be the first in a series of highly recommended CSE career events designed to prepare our CSE undergraduates for the recruiting process.
The Employer Panel event will feature a panel of HR reps and recent CSE graduates from local software companies who will provide details on what to expect from employers in the coming months so you can take the steps to land the job of your dreams. Attendee questions are very much encouraged. You should leave this event with a better understanding of the timing and direction of your upcoming job search.
