INTERFACE Phoenix
Presented by Michael Donahue, Sr Director, Hybrid Cloud and XaaS • Hitachi Vantara
The hybrid cloud has emerged as a game-changing paradigm for modern IT infrastructure, offering IT Leaders and above a wealth of opportunities to drive innovation and efficiency. With the ever-increasing demand for cyber resiliency, flexibility, and sustainability, it is crucial for IT constituents to grasp the intricacies of the hybrid cloud, including key concepts such as security, multicloud, nearcloud, cloud spend optimization, data refactorization, and sustainability practices.
Throughout the session, real-world case studies and examples will be shared from Day 0, Day 1, and Day 2 customers.
- Day 0 means you want to take advantage of this new framework but are still working through how to adopt hybrid cloud, how to secure it, and how to recruit proper talent to maximize it.
- Day 1 means your organization took the first step and has a minimum spend commit they must meet. However, you’re still unsure of how to meet it because you’re still determining which applications to refactor, which containerized microservices to adopt, how to reskill existing talent, and how to implement your compliance and governance strategy.
- Day 2 means your organization has already overcome these hurdles. Nice work! Instead of worrying about hitting a minimum spend commit, you’re now focused on optimizing your environment to limit sprawling cloud costs and looking towards data repatriation efforts.
Participants will have the opportunity to engage in interactive discussions and pose questions, fostering a collaborative learning environment. By the end of this session, IT Leaders will have the knowledge and tools necessary to evaluate, plan, and implement hybrid cloud solutions that align with their organization's goals, including sustainability. Afterall, Hitachi is committed to providing solutions that are exclusively carbon-neutral or zero-carbon, ensuring a sustainable and environmentally friendly approach.
