Accelerate innovation with a cloud native mindset | Episode 2

Making the evolution to cloud native is not just about adopting a new software. In fact, when businesses embrace the full extent of cloud native, they adopt new methodologies and ways of working that harness cloud tools to drive innovation and optimise efficiencies.

To reap the full benefits of cloud native technology, we need to change the way we think about IT infrastructure. While conventionally, corporate IT was about using and protecting servers, a cloud native approach to IT is more transformative, with more focus on application-focussed elements further up the stack.

By embracing a transformative, cloud native mindset, companies are able to make improvements to the core product and customer experience, in a way that would have been unimaginable in the past.

In this episode of Rackspace Technology’s “Accelerate innovation with a cloud native mindset” series, we’ll be debunking the myths around cloud native adoption and exploring what it means to truly embrace a cloud native mindset.

- Some common misconceptions about cloud native adoption
- How to get started in your journey to becoming cloud native
- The importance of adopting cloud native ways of working
- How to harness a cloud native mindset within your organisation or team

Speakers:
- Taylor Bird, VP - Technology Strategy, Rackspace
- Jeanne Morain, Founder Digital/Cloud Strategist, iSpeak Cloud

Announcing a New Approach to Private Cloud

With the global IoT manufacturing market size projected to reach $45.3B by 2022, those looking to stay competitive must leverage the industrial internet of things (IIoT) and digitalization to become much more agile and efficient.

Created to help forward-looking manufacturing firms succeed in the era of Industry 4.0. The Smart Factory Accelerator brings all your factory floor or operational technology data across equipment and devices on a single platform.

Find out how Data is becoming one of the most valuable assets of Manufacturing companies and how Manufacturers are leveraging Edge and cloud capabilities to quickly liberate, store and analyse data to gain visibility into their production processes.

We will also touch upon the challenges of Manufacturers in transforming into Smarter factories and provide insights into how to take those first steps into digitally transforming factories into Smarter factories.

Build Smarter Factories, Faster

Many organizations are looking to modernize their workloads to benefit from the increased scalability and flexibility that the cloud provides. As companies look to transform into more modern architectures, they often start with a key fundamental foundation – migrating databases. Customers with an on-premises database face challenges of scale, performance, flexibility, and cost, yet the path to addressing these challenges is often not clear.  

If you are looking to move your commercial databases, like Oracle or SQL Server, to a managed cloud environment or “break free”, look no further. Join us for our webinar to learn more about how organizations have successfully embarked on database modernization with AWS to grow their business. 

What We’ll Cover:  
- The business challenges of self- managing commercial databases 
- Explain the difference between self-managed and fully managed databases (Amazon EC2 v/s RDS v/s Aurora) 
- Use cases for Re-hosting v/s modernization: the ideal path for your workloads  
- How migrating off of an on-premises system can improve your costs and your productivity

Modernizing Your Database Architecture with AWS

In today’s modern organisations, data plays a critical role in nearly every aspect of a business. This can be from digital transformation to improving business outcomes such as operational efficiency and revenue gain. The success relies heavily on extracting valuable insight from data, but how can organisations make that data available to applications across the globe securely?

Join us for this virtual event, held in partnership with Dell Technologies, to understand how organisations can benefit from moving applications and workloads away from public clouds and back to on-premises or private cloud infrastructure.

Discover how to:
- Reduce cybersecurity risks and meet regulatory compliance requirements
- Reduce or eliminate expensive and unpredictable egress fees
- Maintain sovereignty and control over data
- Consolidate your data centres

The State of Play in Today's Hybrid Cloud Landscape

Data is the critical cog driving today’s modern organizations. In a recent ESG research study, 65% of organizations reported that they used 3 or more cloud service providers.  And 63% of those same organizations use multiple IaaS or PaaS cloud service providers with the same application hosted across the multiple providers.  For these organizations, data powers their applications and success lies in extracting insight and making data available to applications across service provider boundaries.
With the right hybrid and multi-cloud strategy in place, ESG has modeled that organizations can lower their cost of cloud storage up to 84% per month. With the amount of data organizations acquire growing exponentially, storing data in a public cloud and downloading or moving data across clouds is becoming increasingly expensive. As a result of this, many organizations are repatriating their applications - moving them away from public clouds and back onto on-premise or private cloud infrastructures. 
In this 45-minute discussion, ESG Senior Analyst Rob Strechay joins speakers from Rackspace to explore strategies organizations can implement to lower storage-related costs and remove the barriers to a multi-cloud vision. In this panel we’ll cover:
Why companies are requiring multi-cloud data access
How to reduce your cloud storage costs
What are the risks of storing data in a public cloud?
And more…
