Simplifying complex IT operations with automation & management

IT operations is more complex than ever before. Automation and management are critical to keep pace and deliver business results.

Join this webinar to learn how management, automation, and innovation address your hardest IT challenges:

> Improving processes, migrating apps for optimization, and providing a single language for DevOps practices using agentless IT automation
> Managing multicloud environments efficiently, securely, and with compliance to various standards
> Easily and quickly building, developing, and deploying in nearly any infrastructure—on premise, in a public cloud, or hosted

For many firms, the migration to public cloud is well underway. Understanding what motivates these migrators and the challenges they face along the way can help you in your own journey.

Join this webinar for a rare look into an emerging group and a glimpse into the future of public cloud. You'll hear about the results of a Forrester Consulting study, commissioned by Red Hat, that looks at these aspects of firms migrating to the cloud:

> Their motivations and challenges.
> The strategies they're adopting for migration.
> What cloud migration in practice looks like.

One of the most pressing questions enterprises have to answer is: “Should we move to the cloud or stay on-premise?” For many, the answer is a blend of both. Determining your organization’s cloud strategy can be complex. Important considerations must be made around security and compliance requirements, balancing the needs of developers, as well as the existing infrastructure implementations.

In this webinar, we’ll identify multiple considerations you’ll face when starting to think about your cloud strategy and walk through how to manage those critical choices. We’ll cover how to:
- Evaluate the mix of private and public cloud options are best for your business
- Prioritize services for your developers and end users
- Identify new approaches to enable freedom of choice, mobility, and accelerate service delivery
- Define a cloud strategy that accelerates your ability to deliver new applications and innovative solutions

Digital transformation is the journey all organizations must go through to compete and win in today’s economy. It includes fundamental changes across the business and information technology. The hallmark of digital transformation is that software differentiates in ways it never has before, and technology is no longer about running the business-instead it creates competitive advantage.

To attain digital leadership requires embracing a new generation of technology that encompasses real-time decision platforms, cognitive systems, and the Internet of Things, as well as new processes and cultural perspectives. Digital leaders move fast and embrace disruption both internally and externally. No wonder 90% of CEOs are changing the way they use technology to be successful, according to IDC Research.

The use of microservice architectures has exploded over the past couple years, but does that mean they are right for every business? When it comes to building a business case for containers and microservices, how do you determine whether or not this model is the right fit for your organization?

Join this live expert panel moderated by Haidee McMahon, SDDC Technical Solutions Marketing Manager at Intel, for a deeper look and discussion around deriving value from microservices. Whether in a complex data center app or a web or mobile app hosted on cloud infrastructure, what is the underlying architecture behind the scenes? What are the pros and cons from a UX/UI perspective, if any, and how do you make a case for microservices in your enterprise?

Building containerized cloud-native applications require learning and implementing new patterns which are essential for distributed applications. Circuit breakers, canary releases, blue-green deployment, dark launches, tracing and more which have been being implemented across many applications using the popular Netflix OSS libraries and various Spring Cloud annotations throughout your business logic. If using other frameworks or languages, you'll have to contaminate your business logic with even more boiler-plate and glue code.

In this webinar, we will introduce Istio service mesh and how it changes the way you build cloud-native applications and reduces the programming overhead of building distributed architectures.

Microservices are a great architectural approach with many benefits when done right. However, microservices alone are by far not enough to succeed in the API Economy.

We argue that the inner and outer aspects of an IT infrastructure need to be constructed in a way so that microservices can be exploited and lead to the desired business benefits.

In this talk we introduce the concept of Agile Integration as an approach to build an inner and outer infrastructure. This concept is based on three pillars: distributed connectors, containers and APIs.
