Beyond the Hybrid Cloud Hype — Accelerating Your Business Strategy

CIOs must balance security, with innovation and speed - and are asked to create IT environments that can adapt to spikier workloads, interdependent applications, and more data at the edge, even as cyber-attacks and ransomware increase. How can businesses digitally transform with the cloud – ensuring they have a secure environment where customer data is not compromised – while dealing with application sprawl and siloed data? The answer is clear - a secure and open hybrid cloud architecture, but the path to getting there is murky.
In this discussion, we will explore ways to:
- Connect and integrate across a distributed and hybrid cloud environment to create a common experience for applications and data
- Modernize and de-risk regulated industries to keep workloads compliant, secure, and resilient
- Optimize control of decentralization to manage and maintain enterprise systems infrastructure.
