[1 CPE] The Decarbonization of the Data Center

  Presented by Ian Clatworthy, Global Director, Infrastructure Product Marketing • Hitachi Vantara

Balancing the need for substantial data infrastructure with more eco-friendly policies should be top of all organizational to-do lists. Rather than a competition between corporations, these initiatives should be focused on the larger benefit of a healthier world. That’s why creating a specific data center decarbonization strategy will be key. This will range from improving the visibility and measurement of power usage, to actually reducing the carbon footprint of each operational layer. But where should organizations begin?

[1 CPE] A Pragmatic Approach to Implementing a Cloud Service Operating Model

  Presented by Pure Storage & Structured

For almost 10 years now, future-focused datacenter teams have been trying to evolve to a more cloud-like operating model. Some of us have succeeded, some of us have failed. During this fun-filled, example-heavy session, Solutions Architect Tristan Todd will share patterns of failure, patterns of success, some practical examples, and recipes for success on how organizations have succeeded in realizing success in adapting to a cloud ops model. This will be a fun, interactive, high-energy session that you won’t want to miss!

[1 CPE] Securing East/West Traffic in a Modern Data Center

  Presented by HPE Aruba Networking & Structured

While data center networking has evolved over the past decade to address the volume and velocity of emerging application architectures, security and services architectures have not kept up with the explosion of East/West traffic. These services have all been different appliances or VMs bolted onto the network, leading to many challenges for IT teams including complexity, different vendors to manage, and network chokepoints. With a new category of data center switches powered by embedded DPU technology, we can run stateful services such as firewall, telemetry, and encryption directly on the switches themselves. With these stateful services delivered at wire-rate on every port, we can solve some of the biggest challenges with East/West traffic such a scale, performance, micro-segmentation, visibility, and automation.

[1 CPE] How to Stop East/West Attacks in Your Data Center

  Presented by Aruba Networks

70% of all breaches are caused by endpoint security vulnerabilities, followed by lateral movement in the data center. Halt that hacker traffic. Attend this session to learn about a new category of data center switch that combines best-of-breed L2/3 switching with the industry’s first hardware-accelerated programmable processor. This new tool augments your malware and ransomware detection and response capabilities by delivering stateful firewall services inline, at scale, with wire-rate performance and orders of magnitude improvement over traditional data center L2/3 switches. You will learn how to gain visibility and enforce security policy for all East/West flows between workloads to protect the critical assets in your data center.
