Containers: Best Practices and Data Management Services

One of Fibre Channel’s greatest strengths is its ability to scale to thousands and thousands of nodes, while providing predictable performance. So, when we say that Fibre Channel has unmatched scalability, what does that actually mean? And how does it work?

We often hear about “designed from the ground up,” but in this case it’s actually true. From each individual link, to the overall domain architecture, each step along the way is intended to be approached in a scalable fashion.

In this webinar, we’ll be breaking down the pieces of the puzzle that help give Fibre Channel its robustness when you’re working at fabrics even greater than 10,000 nodes. We’ll be talking about:

•What a deterministic storage network is
•Fabric management principles
•Negotiated credit transfers (buffer-to-buffer credits)
•Network Engineering/Design Principles
•Oversubscription and Fan-In Ratios
•Topologies that help scale
•Domains and Fabric limits
•Consistency of performance at scale

Along the way, we’ll be talking about some of the ways that Fibre Channel differs from other popular storage networks as they approach large-scale environments, and how it handles issues that arise in such cases.

Please join us on November 6th at 10:00 am PT/1:00 pm ET for another educational webinar on Fibre Channel!

Cloud and Cybersecurity Series [Ep.6]: Next-Generation Cybersecurity: Policy Process and Organization

Resources are finite. So deploying them wisely is what differentiates successful cybersecurity organizations from those that are less successful. Find out how these successful cybersecurity organizations are structured, what policies they have in place, and what strategies they do—and don’t—follow to protect their enterprise organizations.

Cloud and Cybersecurity Series [Ep.5]: Application Security Meets Multicloud

Enterprises are developing and buying applications to run everywhere: across multiple clouds, multiple data centers, desktops, mobile devices, and IoT devices. In a multicloud environment, IT needs to take a multipronged approach to securing applications.

We'll how organizations approach securing their applications for the multicloud, ranging from changes in the development process to the embrace of security technologies including IAMaaS, microservice authentication, and enterprise secure cloud access and policy enforcement (ESCAPE).

This webinar presents data from Nemertes' in-depth research study of 335 organizations in 11 countries across a range of vertical industries.

Software defined storage, or SDS, is growing in popularity in both cloud and enterprise accounts. But what makes it different from traditional storage arrays? Does it really save money? Is it more complicated to support? Is it more scalable or higher-performing? And does it have different networking requirements than traditional storage appliances?

Watch this SNIA webcast to learn:
•How software-defined storage differs from integrated storage appliances
•Whether SDS supports block, file, object, or all three types of storage access
•Potential issues or pitfalls with deploying SDS
•How SDS affects storage networking
•Scale-up vs. scale-out vs. hyperconverged vs. cloud

Intelligent Customer Engagement Series [Ep.6]: Setting Budgets, Finding Stakeholders for AI-Enabled DCX Projects

As IT and business leaders evaluate their how to use AI to improve customer experience, one of the biggest roadblocks is funding.

This webinar provides step-by-step guidance on finding stakeholders to fund the projects, with specific data on how much companies are spending today on their AI-enabled initiatives.

As businesses handle more data with every day that passes, IT architecture must continue to adapt - becoming leaner, more agile and more secure than ever before.

From migration from monoliths to loosely coupled systems, and microservices raising stability and scalability, join this BrightTALK panel as experts discuss how agile and robust architectures are changing the face - and profits - of industries worldwide.

The role of the architect has changed dramatically in the past few years and is headed for even more change as the landscape of possible technology options is only going to
increase. Faced with a list of options that is increasing almost daily across a highly
competitive landscape, many architectural decisions have become an exercise in avoiding error rather than exploring possibility.

Whilst an acceptance of failure is becoming the norm in smaller development faced activities, architects must make big decisions that can affect the entire operation of an organisation. This webinar explores some ideas for architectural best practice and mechanisms for reducing risk whilst empowering architects to unleash some of the exciting new options available to them.

It can be tricky to know how to modernize and mobilize business in the digital era. From retail to manufacturing, and transport to healthcare, digital transformation is changing the face of how many industries run, plan, and interact with customers, suppliers and partners.

The right strategy can increase revenue, reduce cost over time, and allow a business to remain agile. Join this panel of experts as they share different digital transformation success stories and use cases, and show you how it can aid expansion into global markets.

Elisabeth Thomas, Founder, Launch Product Marketing (moderator)
Robin Smith, Presales Consultant, Gospel
Arun Trivedi, Partner, Wipro Technologies

Digital Transformation is an over-used phrase and one that is often used to describe what is
essentially business transformation that is underpinned by technology. Does this mean that
these transformations are deeply vertical and need deep industry experience to be
successful? In this webinar we examine how organisations can learn from other industry
sectors and also from breaking the standard rules within their own industry.
In this webinar, listeners will be able to learn:
- How do we look across industries and learn from success in others?
- How do we escape from the ‘me too’ transformational activity and break away from trying to keep up and get in front?

According to IDC, ‘spending on technologies and services that enable the digital transformation of businesses will hit $1.97 trillion in 2022.’ For companies in all verticals, a key question is: how do we plan for, execute and scale our digital transformation?

Join experts in this panel, live and on-demand, to discuss:
- Which cloud strategy supports a quick and economical way to support business requirements
- Edge and multi-cloud: pros, cons and potential pitfalls
- Securing a successful, scalable digital transformation strategy

Explore the reality and the hype of digital transformation. We’ll trace the origins and evolution of digital transformation from automated looms in Victorian England through the application of today’s cutting edge artificial intelligence. On our journey we’ll see where companies are finding the true value of digital transformation … and how to avoid the buzzwords.
