SUMMARY:IDC Virtual Round Table Strategic Infrastructure Modernization: Balancing Legacy and Modern Applications
DESCRIPTION:As organizations evolve their infrastructure modernization strategies\, many are implementing a multi-year plan to transform their current environment while enabling a seamless transition to the hybrid multi-cloud operating model of the future. IT leaders must ensure their data and applications deliver maximum value to the business\, while balancing the support of legacy investments while shifting towards modernized applications. Managing costs requires being strategic about data and the placement of the applications that run the business.  Simplifying IT operations now entails reducing operational costs and complexity as the business must operate across multiple clouds\, including private and public. Ensuring that infrastructure choices don’t increase technical debt requires new skills and a multi-vendor approach essential for flexibility and long-term business success. \nJoin us for an off-the-record\, interactive roundtable discussion\, where you will compare notes with fellow IT executives looking to future-proof their enterprises with a multi-vendor hybrid multicloud operating model. The session will host Dave Pearson\, Research Vice President\, Storage and Converged Systems\, IDC\, and experts from Converge and Nutanix\, as they share how leaders are approaching modernizing their digital infrastructure. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDiscussion topics include: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFuture-proofing. How are leaders future-proofing their infrastructure?\nApplication portability. How do you ensure application portability so that you have the flexibility you need?\nRemoving complexity. Modernizing legacy infrastructure can be daunting. Removing complexity is essential.\nBreaking down silos. Ensuring the organization is set up properly to allow collaboration between line of business and IT teams. How are leaders approaching this critical transition?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis is a limited attendance 60 minute IDC Round Table focused on IT executives interested in future proofing their enterprises with a multi-vendor hybrid multi-cloud operating model. \nDate: Thursday\, January 23rd\nTime: 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm ET/11:00 am – 12:00 pm PT\nRegistration Link: https://events.idc.com/event/8285ca48-d4db-4098-a3de-1320c880846d/overview?RefId=VIP&rt=L-ryTqML6EmTcVSmAoQZ2w
