Successful digital transformation requires a data-first approach to storing, managing and presenting data. As the pioneer of Multi-Cloud Data Services (MCDS), Faction offers the only data-first architecture for simultaneously presenting a single copy of data to your choice of applications and cloud services in multiple public clouds. Faction’s Multi-Cloud Data Services accelerate business outcomes from third-party services including Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), and Business Intelligence (BI), speeding up time to innovation. Our flagship product, Faction Cloud Control Volumes® (CCV), offers highly scalable, cloud-integrated storage that leverages low-latency, high throughput network connections to multiple clouds via our proprietary network fabric, the Faction Internetwork eXchange™ (FIX). Faction MCDS deliver the agility, performance, scalability, security, and data sovereignty necessary to realize the promise of data-driven transformation.

Multi-cloud spending continues to grow year-over-year—as does its complexity—according to TechTarget and Enterprise Strategy Group’s 2024 Technology Spending Intentions Study. Reducing cloud costs, maintaining compliance, and multi-cloud management are just some of the top issues organizations are tasked with mitigating. So, where do you start?

Join Faction for an engaging discussion on the key challenges customers face with their multi-cloud strategies, an essential session in Managing Hybrid and Multi-Cloud Environments Summit. We'll address issues such as the complex architectures needed for cross-cloud data sharing, performance problems with remote data connections, slow governance and security processes, and a general lack of agility that affects your team daily.
 
Finally, our SVP of Revenue, John Drake, and Field CTO, Jon Osborn, will present compelling Faction solutions that can help overcome these obstacles.

How to Resolve the Top 3 Data Challenges for Multi-Cloud Enterprises

Your data is more valuable and critical in the AI era, where tools can unlock more value with less effort. In this informative session, learn how AI is amplifying the value of your data, and why the typical architecture of AI infrastructure and applications creates new data management challenges that impede success. Learn how you can overcome these challenges by establishing a data foundation that accelerates and enhances your AI initiatives.

Building a Data Foundation for the AI Era

Multi-Cloud is not simply about juggling multiple clouds - it's about orchestrating your teams, partners, and most importantly, your data, in a harmonious, integrated ecosystem. In this webinar, we will uncover how achieving true Multi-Cloud can streamline governance, bolster collaboration, and significantly reduce costs. Join Faction CTO, Matt Wallace as he shares insights drawn from myriad successful large enterprise multi-cloud engagements. Discover the strategic edge that comes with a seamlessly interconnected multi-cloud environment, and how it can be the catalyst to unlocking your cloud resources' full potential.

Adding unique value with a true multi-cloud architecture

Join Faction CTO Matt Wallace to experience how multi-cloud fuels AI superpowers. The battle lines are being drawn with OpenAI and Microsoft squaring off against Google and DeepMind, and Amazon trying to lure customers with Titan models and the Bedrock service. Learn how people are using LLMs, multi-cloud, and understand how prompt chaining tools like LangChain, big foundational models like PaLM and ChatGPT fit into a strategy with fine-tuned open models and other services.

Harness AI Superpowers with Multi-Cloud

In this Faction Fireside Chat, Luke Norris explores:
* the definition of DataOps 
* its relation to DevOps 
* the importance of a data-first approach to multi-cloud
* what business outcomes become possible when you democratize your data

Faction Fireside Chat: DataOps & Multi-Cloud

In this episode, Faction Founder Luke Norris explores:
* What's missing from the supercloud equation 
* How true multi-cloud differs from conventional cloud architecture
* What you can do with your data when all clouds can access the SAME dataset simultaneously

Is Supercloud Really Multi-Cloud?

There’s a reason only 32% of global data is currently being put to work. Though projections expect 180 zettabytes of data will be created by 2025, these deep troves of information are often locked up, behind skills gaps, data gravity problems, and incomplete hybrid architectures. Even when the data is accessible, diverse teams struggle to collaborate to create, refine, understand, govern, and innovate with their data. Meanwhile, costs are always a factor. Amidst all these challenges — is there a better way?

In this session, Faction CTO Matt Wallace will explore:

 - How a multi-cloud approach solves data gravity and skills gravity
 - How multi-cloud creates huge cost and innovation advantages over “multiple clouds”
 - What the future of data warehouses, data lakes, and innovation looks like
 - How a fluid, hybrid multi-cloud approach can give you the best of all worlds - and what pitfalls to avoid that drive up cost and complexity

Unleash Innovation with Multi-Cloud

In this fireside chat, industry experts at HPE and Faction discuss data fabric technology, its various approaches, and ideal use cases. Moderated by The CTO Advisor, Keith Townsend.

What you'll learn:
* The purpose and power of data fabric technology
* Key considerations when selecting a data fabric solution
* How to achieve a seamless multi-cloud deployment with a data fabric 
* How data fabrics support AI, Machine Learning, and more

The State of Data Fabrics

Multi-Cloud data services usage is growing and organizations are empowering developers, engaging with partners, saving money, and unlocking innovation. With multiple multi-cloud data services available, Faction and Dell have seen surging interest in multi-cloud object services to empower multi-cloud enabled next-generation applications.
 
We will review the multi-cloud data services architecture with a focus on object, and discuss the major benefits that can be attained and how, and review several real-world examples of customer use cases.

Ransomware Protection In a Multi-Cloud World

By the end of 2021, ransomware attacks are expected to occur every 11 seconds. Since 86% of breaches are financially motivated, the average recovery cost is $1.85M. It is now more important than ever to ensure your valuable data is protected from modern threats by developing a solid recovery plan in advance. In this webinar, we will explain the strategies to secure and isolate critical data to prevent attacks from destroying your organization.

Cyber Recovery at the Edge: How to recover when hackers break through defenses

In this on-demand session from the Best Practices for Cloud Storage, Backup & Recovery Summit, Product Manager for Faction, Mike Phelan talks about real cyber threats and how multi-cloud comes into play.

Multi-Cloud Protection from Ransomware

Every 11 seconds a cyber or ransomware attack occurs, threatening to steal or compromise a businesses’ most critical asset – their data. This can lead to lost revenue, reputational damage, and costly regulatory fines. Protecting your critical data and recovering it with validated data integrity is key to resuming normal business operations post-attack. 

Customers are looking for the cost efficiency and operational flexibility of the cloud without compromising the security, data protection, and data integrity that on-premises offers. Together, Faction and Dell Technologies deliver a secure data vault and intelligent analytics that safeguard your critical data from cyber-attacks, ransomware, and insider threats.

Join Mike Phelan, Product Manager at Faction, and Jim Shook, Dell Technologies Field CTO at 10am MT/12pm ET on August 25 for a webinar on Cyber Resiliency, and how organizations are successfully leveraging Dell Technologies and Faction to isolate critical data in the cloud without compromising data integrity.

During this webinar, our hosts will discuss:
∙ The evolution of cyber threats and the cyber threat actors attacking businesses
∙ The critical steps to creating a cyber-resilient framework
∙ How businesses can protect themselves with Dell EMC PowerProtect, enabled by Faction
∙ How Cyber Recovery provides a secure managed isolated vault across on-premises and cloud deployments
