Developing Your Hybrid Cloud Strategy - Panel Session

Guise Bule (Moderator), tuCloud; David Linthicum, Blue Mountain Labs; Winston Bumpus, DMTF; Derek Howard, HP
A hybrid cloud seems like the best of both worlds. You can protect your sensitive and mission critical applications in your IT’s private cloud, while outsourcing all non-essential data into the public cloud. Seems like a great idea, but how do you do it? How do you determine which data goes where? How do you manage both clouds efficiently? And what about security? Join this panel of experts as they discuss whether the hybrid cloud is a panacea or another headache for IT departments.

  • Transforming Healthcare Infrastructure Through Cloud & Virtualization Solutions Aug 7 2013 4:00 pm UTC 45 mins
    Healthcare providers have focused much of their IT investments in recent years on EMR implementations and meeting Meaningful Use requirements, but these are only the first in a long list of upcoming IT initiatives that healthcare providers must manage in the immediate future. With the shift towards Accountable Care Organizations and collaborative care models, supporting the transformation of care delivery requires the transformation of IT infrastructure. In this transformation, Frost & Sullivan believes that virtualization and cloud infrastructure will play key roles in the enablement of anytime, anywhere, always available access to clinical applications that is required to deliver quality care in the current and future healthcare environment.

    The explosion of data in healthcare and the need to rapidly and flexibly increase access to data stored across the continuum of care, combined with the need to reduce capital expenditures and IT headcount focused on data storage, make healthcare a market ripe for cloud solutions. Traditional hurdles remain in addressing concerns regarding data control and security, issues of crucial importance to healthcare stakeholders. New alignments of providers across organizations and the requirement to support mobility are pushing healthcare organizations toward desktop virtualization.

    Join us to discuss how these IT solutions are key to the transformation of healthcare delivery, and why the healthcare sector today is likely to reverse the trend of being late to the party in adopting new IT solutions.
  • Texting. Smartphones. Tablets. Oh my! Business Communications in a Mobile World Jun 20 2013 8:00 pm UTC 60 mins
    A lot has changed in the way we communicate for business. A decade ago, most organizations had employees who came to the office every day, used desktop computers and desk phones, and stopped communicating for work when they went home.

    Today, people communicate for work anywhere, anytime, and on any device. Per Forrester, sixty-six percent of employees use two or more mobile devices for work. And according to Frost & Sullivan, nearly 25 percent of employees work from home or the road. What’s more, the desk phone is not the only business device. Based on a RingCentral survey, 35 percent of employees are using their mobile phones for work even when they are in the office. And nearly 80 percent of employees text for business, with 32 percent reporting that they’ve even closed a business deal via text.

    Even with these undeniable business behavior changes, the vast majority of companies haven’t optimized their communications infrastructure for mobile workforces or BYOD.

    Join this webinar to get ahead of the pack and learn the benefits of a cloud communications solution that supports the new world of work.

    •Understand the trends driving mobility and behavior changes in the work place, with Melanie Turek, VP of Research for Enterprise Communication & Collaboration, Frost & Sullivan.
    •Get the real story from a business that has addressed their mobility needs first hand from Adam Fishman, director of growth and operations for Lyft, a community ride-sharing service.
    •Hear how a cloud communications solution is addressing several challenges businesses face in the new work world from Nisha Ahluwalia, VP of product marketing at RingCentral.

  • Compliance Exclusive: What Healthcare Can Teach Business about the Cloud Jun 6 2013 6:00 pm UTC 55 mins
    Few industries are exposed to the kind of regulation rigor that exists today in healthcare. HIPAA places tight regulations on electronic patient health information (ePHI), and as more data is digitally managed, providers have experience increasing costs and risks associated with ePHI management. The emergence of community clouds in the healthcare industry have provided a more sustainable and scalable model . With consumers demanding greater responsiveness and transparency from their providers and suppliers, there is much that businesses in other sectors can learn from the success of healthcare community clouds. We will showcase a case study of King’s Daughters Medical as an example of one company’s experience and the value they have realized.

    Join this webinar to:
    - Discover the risks, vulnerabilities, and challenges facing providers who must be HIPAA-compliant.

  • How IT and Developers Can Join Forces to Innovate in the Cloud Jun 6 2013 4:00 pm UTC 55 mins
    Developers have gained considerable power within companies and are now making key architectural decisions like the programing language(s), platform (OS), middleware as well as how data is stored. Given that it is the developer’s software that drives business advantage, it comes as no surprise that they have become the respected partners of the business, perhaps at the expense of central IT, in leading the company’s defacto cloud strategy. However, in order to really drive the scale of innovation that provides a sustainable competitive advantage – developers and business leaders cannot go it alone, they must work together with IT. While the goals of developers and IT operations often seem at odds, organizations must seek to reduce these conflicts or risk impeding the pace of innovation. Join this session to discover how understanding the needs of each side and leveraging the processes, tools and procedures that underlie “DevOps,” will enable both teams to work together to better serve the business and ultimately the customer.

    In this session you will learn about:
    - How developers rose to power
    - The key principles, tools and procedures of DevOps
    - How working together helps reduces friction, increases velocity and improves customer outcomes
    - How developers, IT and business can work together to implement and drive innovation through the Cloud
