Presented by Quest Software
Feel like you’re performing a high-wire balancing act in your role as IT Manager or Infrastructure Admin? Performance monitoring and capacity planning can be a real challenge, regardless of your infrastructure design. You’ve got to decide what compute and storage resources are needed and predict when they’ll be needed. You’ve also got to balance the competing priorities of staying within budget and providing acceptable service levels to users. But these days you’re no longer simply managing an on-premises data center, you’ve also got to figure out which workloads to move to the cloud, how best to get them there, and how to manage them in the cloud for the long term.
With all this increased complexity, comes the need for more robust performance monitoring tools to help you manage your hybrid environment and give you the means to resolve issues quickly. Finding the right solution can even help simplify the planning and execution of your cloud migration. Come join Quest to learn more.

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.

Join Barbara Guerin and Jeff Jorczak from Renown Health as they discuss these topics and more. They will share their experiences from leading the deployment of remote working and offer insight into what lies ahead. They will also touch on new security challenges that have arisen form a remote working environment.
