As we have seen in 2020, many companies are working to enable their employees to have a work from home capability. However, there are many factors that contribute to whether that will be possible or not. Are their apps supported? What devices are supported? How secure will they be? What latency issues will they incur and where is the data locality?
All of these topics and more will be addressed.

Most of the organizations we work with have had a common challenge in not being fully content with their current ransomware protection and/or disaster recovery posture. In this session we will discuss modern approaches to both, that if you choose to implement, will not only help you sleep better but also allow for testing and reporting that you can use to prove your new strategy is working and ready to roll if an unfortunate event hits your operation. So please plan to join the data management and protection division of CompuNet – Gravity Data for this informative session that could just be a view into a more secure future for your organization.

In recent years, continuous integration and continuous deployment, aka CI/CD, have become de facto standards for DevOps-minded software development organizations. Adoption of CI/CD enables software architects and IT specialists to create more flexible, secure and agile infrastructure with new features and functionality that are continually improved and deployed. While compute and storage aspects of environments have benefited greatly from CI/CD, network infrastructure has lagged behind.
This presentation pulls back the covers on efforts taking place to bring CI/CD philosophies to the work of revamping legacy, monolithic network architectures using cloud-native principles, microservices and containerization. The end goal is to create networks that are inherently more adaptable, scalable, automated and simpler to manage.
