You’re invited to reimagine what cloud strategy means for your business at this exclusive networking and wine tasting event. Courtesy of Chief Wine Officer and Pure Storage, you and your peers will be joined by Pure Storage’s Lead Principal Technologist for EMEA Strategic & Global Accounts, Savas Nicolaides. Together, we will unpack the expectations surrounding public cloud-first infrastructure strategies and how to assess your own organisational needs. You’ll also be treated to a unique wine tasting experience led by the esteemed Master of Wine, Peter McCombie, one of only 414 in the world. Can we count you in?
John-David Lovelock, VP Analyst at Gartner, has said “workloads that are data intensive rather than compute intensive don’t go well in the cloud… if it’s taking a million-dollar lesson to learn [that], sorry.” Market leaders avoid the hidden costs of cloud by optimising their infrastructure strategies and addressing their workloads individually – a strategy that’s leading many to more nuanced, hybrid approaches. Cloud spend is due to exceed 51% of IT spend by 2025, will your spending be optimised or profligate?
Key discussion points
- Why organisations choose public cloud over private cloud, and the lessons learned
- The challenges and opportunities presented by public vs. hybrid-cloud strategies
- How to eliminate hidden costs in your infrastructure strategy, no matter your public, private, or hybrid-cloud setup
This exclusive networking experience is open to just 10 IT, data, and engineering leaders throughout the UK. If you would like to recommend a relevant senior colleague, please pass their details to the Event Director. Places are limited and highly popular – secure yours today.
