Frankenstein Architecture - Marrying Legacy with the Cloud

Join Nutanix and Professor Herman Singh and guests for the second episode of our Nutanix Connect webinars (Season 2). In this instalment we will be exploring the topic ‘Frankenstein Architecture – Marrying legacy with the Cloud’. Frankenstein was not the monster; he was the creator of the monster! In this episode of the Nutanix Connect webinar, Professor Herman Singh will be discussing, how legacy platforms in use globally have emerged from 70 years of incremental build and over multiple generations of both technology and architecture at the network, infrastructure, data, and software levels. This has created an extraordinarily complex environment to both operate and maintain, never mind extending. Cloud has emerged a decade ago with promises of a simpler more scalable and cost effective solution but has been revealed as both a blessing and a curse as firms migrate to this new architecture but must do so in an incremental manner. Join us to: • Gain an understanding of the evolution of legacy systems and their shortcomings • Understanding the economic and technical challenges of the transition to cloud • Review the emergence and challenges of hybrid solutions • Gain an appreciation of some of the migration and operation best practice • Listen to multiple perspectives on what is still a world fraught with dangers and risks Speakers: • Professor Herman Singh, Director and Professor for Business Transformation and Startup Acceleration • Fatima Mkandla, Regional Channel Manager SADC • Craigh Stuart, Systems Engineering Manager SADC at Nutanix • Paul Ruinaard, Regional Sales Director Sub-Saharan Africa
