Regardless of your company's data management needs, the NetApp America's BrightTalk channel has something for everyone. 

Worried about your expanding data storage needs? Not sure how your data is protected? Tired of worrying about scalability? We can help.

Over the last few years, the cloud has been the focus of many digital transformation efforts, but businesses still have some way to go. Determining the total costs and identifying which services best match your needs can be difficult, which is why finding a solution that simplifies the IT infrastructure buying process as well as being cost-effective is crucial. 

Whether you decide to stay on premises or migrate to the cloud, finding a storage service that supports you on your transformation journey, wherever you are, is the priority. So, how can your data storage bring financial flexibility, lower financial risk, and optimize capacity management? How does the TCO change over time when selecting a traditional buying model compared to leveraging the NetApp Keystone Flex Subscription?

Join NetApp and experts in the field, as we discuss: 

-  How the TCO of your service changes over time depending on your buying model
-  The most cost-effective solutions, and how to extract value from your vendor

According to a recent ESG survey, 92% of respondents said that a consolidated and simplified approach to a cloud data migration was essential, while 93% of respondents say cloud migration processes at their organizations need to be improved. Too often, cloud migration initiatives are too costly, too complicated, and too rigid. But hybrid-cloud environments are the future, and organizations must learn what is needed to keep up with the pace of change.

To do this, organizations must prioritize consolidation, automation, and optimization to deliver the multi-cloud flexibility that IT organizations require today.

Join Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG) and NetApp hybrid cloud industry experts as we discuss:

-  The current state of cloud adoption
-  Cloud migration challenges, and how to overcome them
-  The changes IT buyers are making to address the needs of multi-cloud
-  What IT buyers should be looking for

Kubernetes has come a long way in a few short years.  More and more financial service companies are using Kubernetes for automating next generation application deployments.   We especially see it used for applications with stateless data.  But what about stateful applications?  In this webinar, learn not only how financial services companies are using Kubernetes today, but how they can also use Kubernetes to move stateful applications across private and public clouds, achieving true application portability.

NetApp Demystifying Kubernetes

The “new normal.” We know it means that the need for secure remote access has exploded, with your entire workforce expecting it. It’s a matter of survival, and your role in IT is at the center of it all. It’s time to start putting virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) to work for you and your organization.

We will demonstrate how to deploy a powerful VDI environment or to modernize an existing one, on premises and in the cloud. See how VDI offers:

· Fast deployment. Learn how to securely and confidently deploy workspaces in hours, not days.
· Hybrid cloud advantage. See how to control multiple tenants with resources across your data center and the public cloud by using a single GUI.
· Global file sharing. See real-time global file sharing for your distributed workforce in action, with no change in applications, workflow, or user experience.

Proven VDI Best Practices in a Hybrid World

Customers want to consume and manage their data differently, more cloud-like. They want to pay only for what they need, when they need it. And, they want to free up IT to focus more on innovation and business priorities and less on typical storage tasks. Basically, they are looking to bring the cloud to their data center, aligning economics to their business priorities. Come join us to learn more about Keystone Flex Subscription and how you can consume storage on-prem with a cloud-like experience.

Vigilance, Diligence, and Resilience in a Post-Pandemic World

As applications rapidly migrate to public and private clouds, application developers need and are expecting more from traditional, enterprise infrastructure teams.  Simply providing servers and storage in a corporate data center, even in a cost-effective way, is no longer enough.  To stay relevant, IT Infrastructure organizations need to provide highly automated, self-service, cloud-based application development platforms which provide rapid onboarding and delivery, integrated software development pipelines, and new application run-time environments (e.g. containers). Learn how NetApp IT implemented a greenfield DevOps platform called CloudOne that provides all the cloud services, automation, and CI/CD release models application development teams need to build cloud native applications using micro-services architectures running in containers.
 
Agenda:
Introduction to CloudOne, the DevOps platform inside NetApp
