[1 CPE] Cloud is a Tool, Not a Destination

  Presented by GCSIT

So, you’re ready to move to the cloud. Where do you start? Moving business functions to the cloud is almost always a good idea, but there is no “one cloud fits all” solution. The cloud offers a great number of benefits to the intelligent and engaged IT decision-maker, but the cloud is a tool to be leveraged and utilized, not a destination to be achieved.

Cloud adoption is a realistic approach to embracing the benefits of cloud computing. Join this session to gain a full breadth understanding of requirements to help you decide when, how, and how much to move to the cloud. Learn how the cloud adoption approach evaluates and encourages the use of Cloud resources when and where they make sense.

[1 CPE] Who’s Attacking You?

  Presented by Critical Insight

One of the most common questions from IT Leaders and Executives is: Who would attack our organization and why?

In this panel discussion, we’ll examine the most common cyberattack perpetrators and their methods. From hostile Nation-States to teenagers to some threat actors you might not expect. We will discuss the methods these attackers are using to gain access to your networks, be it unpatched systems, newly found zero days, as well as other avenues into your network. Also covered will be the intent of these attacks, whether it is to steal your intellectual property, extort your cryptocurrency, or to disrupt your operation to meet strategic goals. Most importantly, we will discuss how to tell the difference, and how to protect yourself.

[1 CPE] The Future of Object Storage: Where Do We Go from Here?

  Presented by Hitachi Vantara

While object storage has surged in popularity as an alternative to NAS due to the technological limitations of NAS, customers are now pushing the limits of object storage as well. Where do we take the technology from here to remain relevant and continue to address the needs of modern AI and ML workloads? We will look at the roots of object storage and what needs to happen to the technology to continue forward with today’s modern workloads. Using flash technology and highly parallelized workloads, we will take an in-depth look at some of the directions we expect the unstructured data storage landscape to take. Do we see a world of all flash storage leading the pack or will we continue to utilize hybrid technologies to optimize the economics of storage? Join us for an in-depth look at the current landscape of unstructured data storage and where we go from here to address modern data workloads.
