About this webinar

Guest speaker, Forrester’s Bill Martorelli busts cloud myths and more as he explores the future of cloud computing in this keynote presentation, covering:

• Deciding on which cloud technology you use is more of an ‘and’ conversation than an ‘or’ one.
• Whether they realize it or not (many don’t), most companies are already in a hybrid or multicloud environment.
• Private cloud supports many cutting-edge cloud technologies, including serverless and containers.
• Companies moving to the cloud must focus on the whole cloud. That means finding the right cloud for the right workload.

Following the keynote, Martorelli will be joined by an expert panel for a discussion on the topics raised and private cloud’s role in the future of cloud computing.

Is your data secure?

How has the pandemic changed the way you secure your business?

Join us on March 25that 11:00 a.m. CDT to hear from subject matter experts - Chris Stouff, Chief Security Officer at Armor and Rob Jackson, Senior Manager of Product Solutions at Rackspace Technology about how to “Drive Business Outcomes with Advanced Cloud Security Skillsets”.  During this 30 minute discussion you will hear about:

Security measures and solutions that need to be put into place today to address a multicloud world.
What to consider when securing your cloud environments – including the skillsets, technologies, and processes required for success.

They will also share new total cost of ownership data on how you can put this into practice to manage your ROI.

Companies are realizing the value of using ML models to drive better outcomes for their businesses. Harnessing the predictive power of their data with ML models to remain competitive is becoming more critical to business operations, yet 60% of ML models never make it to production. This is due to complications often exacerbated by outdated business processes and the fact that it's not a core competency for typical data science teams.

In this webinar, we will explore these specific challenges and illustrate how familiar cloud services can be stitched together with MLOps Foundations, enabling rapid development, training, scoring and deployment of models across multiple environments with strong governance and security controls to provide a foundation for successful model lifecycle management.

What we'll cover:
- Introduction to MLOps Foundations powered by Model Factory
- The gap between the Data Scientists and ML Operations
- The distinction between MLOps and DevOps
- Architecture patterns necessary for elements of effective MLOps
- How a “model factory” architecture holistically addresses CI/CD for ML

Demo that will explore:
- Quick feedback and traceability for model development
- ML framework agnostic tooling for packaging of models
- Platform agnostic continuous/rolling deployment

Security issues are becoming a day-to-day struggle for businesses. Recent trends, side effects of a global pandemic and Security statistics reveal a huge increase in hacked and breached data.
Data breaches exposed 36 billion records in the first half of 2020 and average cost of a data breach is $3.86 million as on 2020. It’s no longer “Can you afford to invest in security?” it’ is “Can you afford not to?”
At the same time, a proliferation of innovative new cloud technologies is expanding the perimeter that needs to be secured. While AWS provides a secure infrastructure platform and native security services, what you build on top of it must be secure as well.
Join us as experts from Rackspace discuss:
• The continued evolution of cloud security threats
• What the Shared Responsibility Model is as well as key considerations to implementing it
• How to take advantage of AWS native security services within your security strategy, including a high-level look at compliance
