Developing a 360 Data Management Strategy for Your Business

  Presented by World Wide Technology & Veritas

Exponential data growth, rising storage costs, complex cloud migrations, and stringent regulations are forcing organizations to find efficient and economical ways to take control of and manage their growing data environment.

Join this session to learn how a global financial institution and a large data analytics company were both able to successfully implement an end-to-end data management strategy, which encompassed the following:

  • Data Protection: ensure data copies are kept for redundancy to prevent data loss.
  • Compliance Readiness: proper retention and timely destruction of data as regulatory requirements dictate.
  • Data Visibility: understanding what data you have, where it is, and how it’s used.
  • Data/Workload Portability: movement and migration of applications and data among various on-prem and cloud locations.
  • Business Continuity: recovery and resilience that is needed when massive outages or disasters occur.
  • Storage Optimization: automating the storage of data across resources to optimize cost and performance.

Adapting to Fight Back: How Cyber AI Neutralizes Never-Before-Seen Threats

  Presented by Darktrace

In a world that is increasingly digital, cyber-attack has become the most significant risk confronting today’s businesses, smart cities, and critical infrastructure. Online crime cost the world more than half a trillion dollars last year, while recent attacks have managed to influence the U.S. presidential election and disrupt the Ukrainian power supply. This troubling state of affairs is the product of several fundamental weaknesses with the traditional approach to cyber defense, which relies on predefining what threats look like at a time when criminals launch never-before-seen attacks daily. Moreover, these attacks increasingly strike at machine-speed, preventing security professionals from responding before their damage is done.

Shifting from ITSM to ESM as a Way to Enable and Transform the Enterprise

  Presented by ServiceNow

As a member of IT, have you found yourself doubting your relationship with the rest of the organization as you’re perceived as a cost center rather an equal part stakeholder with a common goal? Do you find yourself struggling to collaborate with the rest of the organization as the tech debt in your organization has created seemingly insurmountable silo’s? If you feel any of this describes your work environment and how IT may be perceived, please join the discussion in how the concepts of IT Service Management need to shift to a more inclusive Enterprise Service Management strategy. Ultimately, driving more effective technology purchasing, collaboration across the enterprise and re-branding of IT as an organizational enabler.

Choosing the Right Cloud Environment: Public, Private, or Hybrid

  Presented by Atmosera

In pursuit of enhanced connectivity, scalability, and efficiency, cloud migration is hastening across all industry sectors. In order to unlock the cloud’s benefits, these environments—public, private, and hybrid–must be explicitly architected and engineered to suit the respective applications they will host, while also meeting security and compliance requirements. How do businesses determine their ideal cloud environment and optimize it post-migration?

In this presentation, we will review and compare:

  • The physical and virtual components of public, private, and hybrid cloud environments
  • The business considerations that differentiate each environment, including storage space, workloads, compliance, internal staff, and other business requirements
  • The relationship between organizations, cloud providers, and MSPs
  • The best practices organizations should consider keeping their cloud environment secure, compliant, and optimized post-migration
