Know Before You Go so you can increase your advantage by confidently deploying cost-optimized hybrid clouds and simplifying management of all your IT environment 

More and more IT professionals are moving to containers as a way to reduce IT costs, improve developer productivity, provide a faster time to market, simplify operations and provide portability across computing environments.  However, containers are very complex and require tools like Kubernetes to help automate tasks.
 
This webinar will introduce Kubernetes, talk about its benefits, and help you to understand its challenges and how to overcome them.  Deep visibility into your containerized applications whether they are operating on premises or in the cloud is critical to maintaining your overall IT infrastructure and we will discuss techniques for increasing your overall insight.

Techniques for Increasing Overall Container Insight

Gartner estimates that by 2026 more than 90% of global organizations will be running containerized applications in production – an increase of 50% from 2020.  

This webinar will discuss the challenges associated with managing containerized workloads and how to address those challenges:
 
• What is driving organizations’ move to containers and what are the benefits they hope to realize?
• Challenges faced when aligning your multi-cloud strategy with containers
• Smoothing your transition to containers and integrating them into your multi-cloud environment

Join Virtana and Dell Technologies experts to learn what is driving this move to containerization, what are the benefits, and the strategies that will deliver the benefits organizations are seeking.

Effective Multi-cloud Strategies for Containers

Join AWS and Virtana experts as they discuss the macroeconomic challenges and best practices of applications and infrastructure in public cloud and hybrid cloud environments. 
 
On Wednesday, August 24 they will answer critical questions regarding: 
 
- Pain points in cloud migration, including poor-quality cloud migrations that result in wasted time and resources  
- The macroeconomic conditions driving acceleration to the cloud 
- Utilizing the cloud as a strategic part of IT 
- Calculating the cost of operations, including hardware, and labor and maintenance costs 
- Determining the costs of cloud infrastructure and migration of IT infrastructure to the cloud or to switch cloud providers 
 
Cloud economics explores key questions for businesses: What is the return on investment (ROI) of switching current cloud providers or, if they haven’t already, migrating to the cloud? What is the best way to calculate cloud solutions versus traditional on-premises infrastructure? And what is the total cost of ownership (TCO)? 
 
When organizations understand the economics of cloud computing, they can optimize their investments and obtain greater value for their organization. Businesses must examine the CAPEX and OPEX pros and cons of cloud deployments and migration specific costs and savings.  
 
Whether you are exploring on-prem and public cloud infrastructure initiatives or have existing strategies in place, continually calculating TOC improves business and competitive effectiveness.

Key AWS Cloud Adoption Business Drivers -  Thriving in Today’s Market

Companies who have moved workloads to the public cloud have two infrastructures to manage: their on-premises data center and their footprint in public or multi-cloud environments. As cloud service providers (CSPs) have matured, they’ve developed a wide range of configurations and tools to support the pre- and post-migration application and workload evaluation process. 
 
Join Forrester and Virtana as they discuss the challenges and best practices of hosting infrastructure in the public cloud. They will help you answer critical questions, including: 
 
- How do I achieve operational cost efficiency on an ongoing basis across both 
  on-premises and public cloud? 
- How can I automate routine cost optimization recommendations such as 
  rightsizing in both on-prem and cloud?
- What workloads do I have and where are they running now? Where should  
  these workloads be running?
- How can I see all of my workloads in a single pane of glass?

Challenges of Hybrid and Multi-cloud Environments

Getting clarity of costs across multiple cloud providers and accounts is difficult; identifying and eliminating unused instances and storage to maximize cost saving opportunities can be complicated. It doesn’t need to be.  Make data-driven decisions with the confidence that you can save money, right size instances to match capacity, and optimize your reservations to capture long-term savings. 

Join Virtana February 3rd at 10am pacific as we discuss cloud cost optimization that delivers an ROI of as much as 145% by:

• Meeting objectives through ongoing capacity and cost optimization
• Proactively identifying wasted resources and expenses
•	Ensuring you meet SLAs and stay on budget with real-time data collection 

With Virtana Optimize you can radically simplify your cloud cost management and drive better business results through real-time analytics that ensure you have the insights you need to stay on budget.

Radically Simplified AWS Cost, Performance, and Capacity Optimization

Today’s transformed IT infrastructures are diverse and continually evolving. They contain numerous levels of interdependencies that all perform specific functions: database, network, server, storage, virtualization, containers etc.

Very often, each silo has its own dedicated monitoring appliance that lacks a single-pane-of-glass view into overall IT infrastructure. This is especially true when hybrid and multi-cloud environments are mixed into the equation. The lack of continuity results in problems taking longer to get resolved that can ultimately impact business outcomes.

Join Virtana’s Ryan Perkowski, Sr. Director Product Management and Scott Cleland, Sr. Director Corporate and Field Marketing as they examine the (often esoteric) fundamentals of interconnected infrastructure monitoring.

Topics to include:
• Silo dilemma 
•	Unity is key
•	Integration magic
•	Root Cause Diagnosis

Precision Observability and Deep Insight into Cloud Configurations

The results from a recent survey from Virtana and Arlington confirm the overwhelming trend of mass migration to the cloud, but there’s a not-so-subtle theme of buyer’s remorse. In fact, 72% of the IT leaders surveyed said they’d repatriated workloads after migrating them to the public cloud. Bloor’s research also shows this heightened rate of repatriation, making the topic of preparedness and truly knowing before you go to the cloud paramount. 
 
This webinar will:
  • Explore the reasons why organizations bring cloud workloads back on premises—the good, the  
     bad, and the ugly
  • Discuss steps IT teams can take to prevent post-migration surprises, especially as organizations 
     accelerate the pace of public cloud investments
  • Provide guidance for enterprises embarking on multi-cloud strategies

State of Hybrid Cloud: Going there or coming back?

Companies who have moved workloads to the public cloud have two infrastructures to manage: their on-premises data center and their footprint in public or multi-cloud environments. As cloud service providers (CSPs) have matured, they’ve developed a wide range of configurations and tools to support the pre- and post-migration application and workload evaluation process.
