Business insights

You’re invited to an unforgettable evening of insight, fine dining, and guided wine tasting at the award-winning Sparrow Italia, London. Courtesy of Chief Wine Officer & Everpure (formerly Pure Storage), you’ll network with IT and data experts including Everpure’s Regional Vice President, Paddy Fitzpatrick; and Principal Technologist, Olly Haywood. Together, you’ll discuss how to make the switch from monolithic, legacy stacks to a liberated, vendor-agnostic model without moving a single byte of data. Meanwhile, you’ll also enjoy a guided fine wine tasting from celebrated broadcaster and wine expert, Jane Rakison. Can we book you a seat at the table?

Modern organisations are taking a giant leap forward by leaving behind legacy vendors, with their limitations and pricing fluctuations no longer serving their interests. By investing in agnostic data foundations, market leaders are innovating their own IT roadmaps to benefit from a cloud-like experience that delivers 99.9999% uptime. It’s with this approach that the British Army dropped their data centre footprint by 80%, while reducing TCO by 60%, and with zero outages. At this event, uniquely designed for senior technical leaders, we’ll explore how you can do the same and achieve true infrastructure sovereignty for your organisation.

Key discussion points

  • The unique consumption model that makes infrastructure sovereignty accessible
  • Escaping vendor lock-in with enterprise data cloud
  • Myriad methods of organisational agility and modern data infrastructure

This exclusive networking experience is open to just 12 senior technical leaders from organisations in Greater London. Invite a relevant colleague by contacting the Event Director—but seats are filling fast, so secure yours first.
