The age of the digital buyer is with us and it is no surprise that digital transformation is the number one company boardroom topic. Where and how you run your business today has radically changed. What has not changed is the requirement for rich data management services delivered through a single set of tools, wherever your data resides.

Imagine ordering a complete converge infrastructure and having it arrive in just a few days. Then provision that entire infrastructure, both physical and virtual, in minutes. This solution based on FlexPod introduces a new configuration that comes preassembled and fully cabled in a rack with automation capabilities that dramatically simplify and accelerate the ordering, delivery, and deployment of IT infrastructure at remote and branch office locations.

From May 2018, the EU rules on data protection are changing, and all companies with more than 250 employees will need to reassess their practices. What’s more, the penalties for non-compliance are changing too—so now’s the time to get prepared.

Cisco and NetApp have developed FlexPod as a platform that can address current data center needs and simplify the evolution toward an IT-as-a-service (ITaaS) infrastructure. We will cover why FlexPod is a good fit for Hybrid Cloud and the different Validated Designs available to deploy a Hybrid Cloud on FlexPod.

With flash, cloud and software defined storage technologies changing the expectations and economics of enterprise IT, how is your organization planning to transition to the next-generation data center and hybrid cloud?

One of the clear predictions made early in 2016 was based on the high pace of adoption of Flash Technologies in organisations of all sizes. This prediction discussed the rise of the All-Flash Datacentre and Gartner later declared that a quarter of all datacentres WW will be All-Flash by 2020.

Today, many CIOs are challenged to deliver a solution that efficiently and securely delivers Windows desktops and applications to all types of end-workers and devices in a way that meets corporate objectives for cost, security, and compliance.

The Smart City concept has evolved
It has moved to the next generation with the IoT concept.
According to Gartner, by 2020, 60% of smart city initiatives in international cities will introduce IoT-enabled smart city solutions for resolving or mitigating transportation-related urban issues.

With the boom of the Internet of Things, the number of devices that connect to the Internet will rise from about 13 billion today to 200 billion by 2020, and certainly more.
Without data privacy, this all internet of things won’t even exist… or it won’t exist for you anyways…
Consumer-oriented IoT solutions (for example, connected homes and vehicles) will often collect and process data about behavior, lifestyle, location, health and other personal attributes. Privacy and security of such data must be of consideration.

According to IDC, by 2020 the amount of digital information will grow from 3.2 zettabytes today to 40 zettabytes. This is 10 million of iPhones 6.
When you hear Big Data, be sure this is only the beginning, if you don’t think right now about it. One easy option would be to rebuild the data silos we just spent the last 10 years getting rid of.
And say good bye to agility or flexibility?
When business already asks for more? Not an option, this is where innovation comes into play.
