Software Defined Storage: Bringing Remote and Branch Offices Together

Join this webinar to learn 3 critical success factors for running SAP in an “as-a-service” model. As you prepare for the migration to S/4HANA and broader adoption of new Data Driven business processes, you might consider running SAP “as-a-service". In this webinar, we will discuss the Good and Bad with an “as-a-service" approach and share 3 critical success factors to how you build a model that delivers to all promises. It's all about the results, and recent studies show that the main drivers behind running SAP “as-a-service" is Simplification, Cost reduction, Flexibility, and Scalability. But how do you get there? Is public cloud the answer? Should you put “all eggs in one basket”? In this webinar, you will get valuable insights into these questions and others. Welcome and looking forward to your participation.

We kindly invite the first 50 registered participants for a virtual lunch, (20 Euro virtual card) to join this Lunch & Learn event.

Please join Dell Technologies and Mark Wilson to learn about effective data resiliency and recovery solutions to protect data against malicious attacks.

Regardless of the computing platform, thieves can compromise data. In 2020, cyber-attacks were estimated to be occurring every 39 seconds1. In 2019, Accenture forecasted that over $5T of global value would be at risk over the next 5 years2 due to cybercrime. And, unfortunately, 2020 kept this prediction on track. This no cost virtual event will give you valuable insight into how mainframes and storage can be (and are) compromised. You will learn about field-tested solutions for the protection and recovery of mainframe data in a world full of ransomware, phishing, data leakage, hacking and insider threats where “when, not if” is not a cliché.

Agenda:
• Is the mainframe really a desirable target for cyber criminals?
• Breaching mainframe security and compromising data is not an urban legend
• A solid, tested DR strategy is not enough
• Believe it or not, cyber resiliency and protection can SAVE storage capacity and reduce costs.
• Don’t know where to start? Dell Technologies Cyber Advisory and Implementation Services can help

If all the growth in your business is like an airplane, your job in IT is to keep building the runway it needs for a smooth take-off. As you start moving applications and data to the cloud, are you sure you know how much it will cost? Are you sure you’re moving the right workloads to the cloud and keeping the right ones on premises? Are you sure you can monitor costs and performance to get the most out of cloud migration?

Join this webinar for some of the lessons our customers have learned. You’ll see how you can avoid the biggest cloud-migration budget pitfalls by:

Understand and control of your data before your cloud migration, not after.
Taking a hard look at which workloads to migrate and which to leave on premises
Monitoring all the resources your workloads are burning up, like compute, memory, network and storage

Communication service providers are under pressure to provide quality of service against increased bandwidth requirements while adding new edge services quickly to meet their customers' needs.

Navigating the Challenges of Driving and Scaling AI Adoption: Expert Insights from the Ecosystem

It’s been predicted that the global data analytics market will be valued at over $132 billion by 2026, and the business value of artificial intelligence will reach over $3.9 trillion within the same five years. Organizations from multiple industry verticals are looking to use their data to better understand and serve their customers and increase their bottom line.
Organizations understand that AI will power the next revolution in analytics, but at the same time rollouts of AI have been slow – and there’s a clear gap between the savings potential with AI and most organizations ability to implement and deploy models and scalable solutions.
During this virtual discussion, we plan to address why adopting AI is so challenging and what organizations can do to drive real business value to their customers. Please join us for a highly interactive discussion with exclusive insights from 4 experts that are shaping the AI ecosystem by creating innovative solutions, driving and scaling AI adoption successfully, and building out the larger data management context. You will hear firsthand what organizations can do to obtain tangible business value from AI, and what future use cases are most applicable.

Banks, asset managers, insurers and other firms are realising that using several cloud service providers (CSPs) instead of one gives them greater flexibility and agility. An agile business is better able to address challenges and succeed in a financial services marketplace that has become increasingly competitive, less secure and more regulated.
The benefits of cloud – public, private and hybrid – are well-known. It is “always on”. Its applications are kept up to date. It is flexible because usage can be scaled up or down with ease, and firms only pay for what they use based on an “as-a-service” consumption model.
There are risks, as with any IT infrastructure. One is cyber security. Yet CSPs have robust security and recovery procedures in place which are often better than what individual firms can manage themselves. And, with multi-cloud, if one provider goes down there are others ready to take up the slack. Another risk is regulatory compliance. European supervisors like the EBA, ESMA, EIOPA, and national supervisors like FCA and BaFin, have set strict guidelines for firms outsourcing to cloud providers. Yet they make sense and are comparatively easy to follow.

This webinar, hosted by the Financial Times in partnership with Dell Technologies and Intel, brings together senior executives from major financial institutions and big technology companies. They will discuss how a flexible, multi-cloud strategy can enhance business agility.

Cyberattacks are increasing across all industries, and cybercriminals are savvier than ever. Businesses are at risk of disruption, incurring devastating financial and reputational damage.

Endpoint updates are becoming more complex and challenging than ever with Bring-your-own-device (BYOD) programs and internet-of-things (IoT) technologies. Each device connecting to your network increases the number of threats from malware and viruses.

Join this webinar to learn five steps for building a unified endpoint security strategy that will give you:
- Clear visibility into all the devices connecting to your network
- Automated patching and software deployment
- Protection from threats such as unpatched operating systems and applications
- Peace of mind that security compliance regulations are being met

Since the start of the 21st Century, the financial markets have become dominated by computer-based trading. Computers and electronic communication have all but consigned face-to-face trading to the history books. Algorithmic Trading (AT), trading where computers assist in the decision-making process, has come to dominate order volumes in most traded instruments. According to a 2021 consultation paper on Algorithmic Trading from ESMA, the European Union's regulatory body[1], 70-80% of all trading activity has included some form of algorithm in the decision process. Furthermore, in the most liquid markets, High-Frequency Trading (HFT), a subset of Algorithmic Trading, accounts for 60%+ of all trading volumes[2].

Both HFT and AT come under the umbrella of Electronic Trading. In this webinar, we consider the subset of Algorithmic and Electronic Trading that is latency-sensitive and referred to as low-latency trading. While HFT dominates this, we examine the more general latency-sensitive scenarios as well.

Are Microsoft 365 applications like Teams, Outlook and SharePoint rapidly turning into the core of your work? A significant part, if not all, of your productivity, critical communication and data are in this environment. Losing this data is not an option.

This webinar covers the challenges and opportunities for machine learning in algorithmic trading. It takes a fresh perspective on how machine learning practitioners view application areas, identifying the unique circumstances encountered in algorithmic trading and the many ways in which both researchers and practitioners in the field of quantitative finance are solving these problems by integrating and adapting domain specific solutions with general machine learning approaches and Intel HPC solutions.
