Data Protection and Management

  Presented by StorageCraft

Managing storage continues to be complex, and often expensive. Something needs to change, and it certainly won’t be a dramatic increase in staffing. Fortunately, object storage is the answer. By eliminating the use of legacy RAID, object storage, can be the foundation for a scale-out converged storage solution that solves both data protection and data storage challenges. Want to recover a multi-TB VM in less than a second? No problem. Want to protect files from ransomware? No problem. Need an enterprise file serving, archiving, or virtual server storage solution? No Problem. Attend this session to learn how object storage is changing the landscape for IT admin and the technology of the future.

Find Your Balance in the Cloud

  Presented by Quest Software

Feel like you’re performing a high-wire balancing act in your role as IT Manager or Infrastructure Admin? Performance monitoring and capacity planning can be a real challenge regardless of your infrastructure design. You’ve got to decide what compute and storage resources are needed and predict when they’ll be needed. You’ve also got to balance the competing priorities of staying within budget and providing acceptable service levels to users. But these days you’re no longer simply managing an on-premises data center, you’ve also got to figure out which workloads to move to the cloud, how best to get them there and how to manage them in the cloud for the long term.

With all this increased complexity, comes the need for more robust performance monitoring tools to help you manage your hybrid environment and give you the means to resolve issues quickly. Finding the right solution can even help simplify the planning and execution of your cloud migration. Come join Quest to learn more.
