A new class of Business Applications are emerging that inherently leverages three major fabrics - Big Data platforms, Cloud and Analytics all together.

This means that new authentication, authorization and access control capabilities are needed that leverages the three fabrics mentioned earlier. Speaker Balu Rajagopal is in Global Product Marketing for Pivotal, a Big Data Analytics spinoff from EMC and VMWare that includes Greenplum.
