9:00am-10:00am: Cloud Resilience Strategies for Avoiding a False Sense of Security

 

Byron Dill, SVP of Architecture, Deft

 

The cloud brings a false sense of security. The belief that, “We’re in the cloud. We’re good.” isn’t enough for today’s always-on businesses. With the cloud, there is no easy button and the tendency to outsource responsibility in addition to technology is pervasive. In this session, Byron Dill, SVP of Technology for Deft, will discuss what this false sense of security is, what happens when you have to recover and how you can plan for and control critical aspects of your infrastructure and DR posture with intelligent planning.

The IT industry experiences waves of change, some revolutionary and some evolutionary. The cloud was one of those waves, and has been with us since 2006, when Amazon launched S3, the first component of AWS. A decade and a half later, an evolution has taken place called Edge Cloud.

3:00pm-4:00pm: Enterprise Architecture: How to Modernize Desktop Delivery

 

Matt Weber, Product Strategy Specialist, Workspot

 

What does it take to move your desktops, apps and data to the cloud – and why is now the time? Whether you’re providing physical laptops or VDI desktops to your users – either way your IT team is responsible for procuring, provisioning and maintaining the physical infrastructure, and with more users working remotely, the cost and complexity is now at a breaking point. The solution is SaaS-delivered Cloud PCs replacing VDI and the physical PCs with a Cloud PC – that’s always accessible from any device or browser.

 

In the session we’ll discuss how to optimize remote and hybrid work, increase security and productivity, and set yourself up to deliver value for long-term business success.
