The future of IoT & cloud | Panel discussion

Leading Software-Defined Cloud Interconnection (SDCI) provider Console Connect is hosting a free online webinar on 14 November 2023 demonstrating how companies can reduce cloud networking costs by up to 40%. 

The webinar will discuss the findings of recent research from William. B. Norton, an internationally recognised expert on internet peering, that suggests companies struggling with rising cloud costs could significantly reduce their fees if they take the time to understand the trade-offs between exchanging traffic over the public internet and sending it over a dedicated private network. Joining Mr Norton on the webinar will be Darren Mott, a former FBI Special Agent and the host of The CyBUr Guy Podcast, and cloud networking expert Jay Turner, Vice President of Development and Operations at Console Connect.

The webinar will cover:
• The 'Internet-bypass breakeven point’ where enterprises can provably reduce their cloud networking costs by up to 40%
• How bypassing the public Internet also delivers significant security benefits for businesses using the cloud 
• How third party SDCI providers are making it easier for organisations to privately connect to the cloud

The business case for privately connecting to the clouds

A multi- or hybrid cloud strategy has become the status quo for many enterprises. It provides access to a broad range of cloud services and best-of-breed technologies, while reducing the risk of vendor lock-in. 

But as more businesses rely on multiple public cloud and SaaS applications for their mission critical processes, this shift in the way enterprises work has brought with it new security challenges for network engineers and IT departments.

Join our live webinar to learn about key considerations and best practices for developing a multi-cloud security strategy for your business.

What we will discuss:
• The benefits of adopting a multi-cloud strategy
• Choosing the right cloud connectivity solution
• Considerations and best practices to keep your multi & hybrid cloud environment secure

Understanding multi-cloud security: Key considerations & best practices

In this webinar, Paul Wang, Vice President, IoT and Mobile Edge Products at Console Connect will discuss the concept of mobile edge computing and the IoT benefits of having compute power closer to where a physical device or data source is actually located. 

In order for IoT systems to react and process the data produced by IoT devices in a timely manner, many applications require data processing at the edge rather than traveling back to a central site. 

Paul will also explore key business implications of the edge and problems it can help to solve.

Join the webinar to learn about:
• An introduction to the concept of edge in the mobile context 
• Key drivers for the adoption of mobile edge
• The future of mobile edge and opportunities for enterprise IoT users
