Designing Data Centers for Tight Physical Security

This free 1-hour webinar from GigaOm Research brings together IT infrastructure experts, featuring GigaOm’s Enrico Signoretti and special guests from Scale Computing, Dave Demlow, and the Detroit Symphony Orchestra’s Senior Director of Technology & Infrastructure, Jody Harper. The presentation and discussion will focus on the benefits of hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) from the point of view of end users (those that have already adopted it) and an analysis of different approaches to HCI. End users struggle to keep their infrastructure simple, flexible, and scalable while keeping costs at bay.a

Security is a big concern for enterprises as part of their cloud native journey to build, run, and scale modern apps on containers, Kubernetes, and cloud. Rapid deployment cycles and dynamic workloads compound the challenges of cloud-native security, risk management, and compliance. To be successful, teams should start with a secure platform and automate detection and response as a part of their DevOps workflow.

DevOps continue to evolve, driving greater value for the organization. Yet, you still must navigate a maze of DevOps toolchains to determine the right technology choices. The discrete automation silos of the past are evolving into platforms that orchestrate application delivery as a value stream. Gartner sees organizations accelerating digital transformation by adopting cloud-native architecture and continuous delivery practices. This complimentary webinar provides an actionable framework for navigating the maze of DevOps toolchains to make the right technology choices that will enable agility, reliability, and security.

As face-to-face and public discussions from classrooms to business meetings have been forced to move online exclusively, the substantial increase in traffic is already straining the world’s internet infrastructure. What are the long-term implications of this surging demand? How will the design of the internet change to accommodate the video and other tech platforms that we will increasingly rely on? How will governments and companies manage the surge in traffic and what will it mean for internet shutdowns and censorship? How will this dynamic affect the next range of internet standards meetings which will be taking place virtually for the first time in three decades?
