SD-WAN Edge Transformation for the Cloud-First Enterprise

  Presented by Silver Peak

As cloud adoption and SD-WAN innovation hastens, global enterprises are transforming how they build and secure wide area networks. Leveraging automation, enterprises can deploy, connect and secure hundreds of sites per week, a feat not possible with a traditional device-centric approach.

During this session, we’ll discuss how the unification of SD-WAN, WAN optimization, routing and security in a single, centrally orchestrated platform:

  • Delivers superior application performance wherever apps are hosted
  • Increases the quality of experience for end users and for IT
  • Simplifies branch WAN edge architecture

Leave Legacy Behind and Drive Better Business Outcomes

  Presented by Nutanix

Flexibility and choice have become the cornerstone of long-term decision making for IT leaders, yet the leading legacy hardware manufacturers of the past 20 years have struggled to match that demand. Companies are all too often pushed to lean on one manufacturer’s server, storage, and virtualization products, or commit completely to the public cloud to achieve necessary business agility.

Unshackled by legacy lines of business that have stifled innovation in the datacenter, Nutanix was free to take a different approach. Please join us to learn exactly how they did it, and how their private cloud platform, built from the industry-leading HCI solution, has helped organizations of all sizes deliver positive business outcomes inside data centers – internal or external.

Find Your Balance in the Cloud

  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.

Simplifying Container Orchestration

  Presented by IVOXY Consulting & NetApp

Public clouds set a high bar for IT expectations of agility, scale, and services. Regardless of location and infrastructure, teams’ consumption experience with public cloud providers is driving their decisions and spending on IT today. Along with the ability to consume services across a choice of public and private clouds, teams must consolidate enterprise workloads without performance impact, deploying from a private cloud platform with service catalogs. Public clouds automate management and lifecycle, and they simplify how users consume IT.

Attend this presentation to learn how to simplify container orchestration and automation across the hybrid multi-cloud.
