Cybersecurity and Resilience: Strengthening Critical Infrastructure

Data Centers vary widely in nature and can be roughly classified as hyperscale, multi-tenant, and private. A critical and common component in the operation of such data centers is the installation and maintenance of the physical cabling infrastructure. A fundamental change taking place is the evolution from cables using classic connectors on copper (RJ-45) or fiber optics (LC) to cables terminated by pluggables such as SFP or QSFP. This represents a new challenge as these cables, called Active Optical Cable (AOC) or Direct Attach Copper (DAC), are not easily validated and tested.

As hybrid workplaces become more normalized, organizations in every industry must adjust to the unique demands of a post-pandemic world. A major concern companies are navigating is keeping remote teams connected and secure while not disrupting day-to-day operations or compromising the customer experience.

There is currently a surge in business investing in various types of analytics to solve their business challenges and achieve competitive advantage. The best analytic insight requires large amounts of data from multiple sources, which can then be feed through AI, ML, and analytics processes to garner new insights and make better decisions, as the amount of analytics storage highlighted in the chart below.

As organizations look at additional ways to gather insights, they have discovered how Splunk Enterprise can help them leverage new and existing data sources to achieve greater operational intelligence. However, like any powerful application, the infrastructure platform chosen to run it on is critical. In this session you will learn about the evolution of traditional infrastructures to private and hybrid cloud solutions for Splunk. You get detailed information on how next-generation technologies like hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) can help you deploy Splunk in a flexible, agile environment, just like the public cloud, while maintaining the security and control of on-prem solutions. We’ll also highlight hybrid cloud use cases and capabilities.
