Do You Know the True Cost of Your Enterprise Mobility Decisions?

Despite the growing awareness of the productivity gains that are possible from automating everyday business processes, the great majority — as much as 68% in recent research — are still manual.

In this free webinar from GigaOm Research, Gigaom analyst Stowe Boyd digs into the barriers that are holding back adoption of process automation in a give-and-take conversation with Terry Simpson, Technical Evangelist at Nintex.

The pair will address the preconception that workflow requires programming, and is therefore costly and time-consuming, and inaccessible to non-techies. Another concern is that integration with existing tools is difficult, and adapting to the specific work patterns in your workplace may not be possible. We’ll dispel those concerns. Perhaps the biggest barrier is the perception that you have to attack all the processes at once, and only critical corporate processes should be automated.

In this 1-hour webinar, you will discover:

Why you don’t have to attack all processes at once.
How to take a stepwise approach to knock down barriers.
How to regain time lost in the labyrinth of manual processes.

The Five Barriers To Automating Manual Business Processes

This free 1-hour webinar from GigaOm Research brings together experts in automated cloud deployment at scale, featuring GigaOm analyst David Linthicum and a special guest from Packet, My Truong. The discussion will focus on why things are changing, and how you should approach cloud requirements, and the need for customized solutions.

Moving to the cloud? We all are. However, as enterprises move existing and net new systems into the cloud, they are hitting a larger issue: they must adapt to the cloud, the cloud does not adapt to them.

What this means is that most enterprises have custom requirements to specifically meet the needs of the business. Public cloud providers are really utility providers that attempt to fit your square workloads in their round holes. While a few will fit, the applications that require specialized, local and remote infrastructure are far more than we think.

In this 1-hour webinar, you will discover:

Why the way that we are consuming cloud is changing.
Alternatives that you may not understand.
Specific solutions that leverage the advantages of cloud, but without limitations.
Best practices, and processes you can follow.
Most of those attending this Webinar will understand that workloads often have requirements that may require or benefit from customized infrastructure.

Human-Centric Artificial Intelligence: What and Why?

This free 1-hour webinar explores how to take advantage of data management to improve value of data and how to reuse it efficiently across the organization, and features data storage GigaOm analyst Enrico Signoretti and special guest from Aparavi, Jonathan Calmes. Every organization is creating and storing vast amounts of data, most of which has a short lifespan but needs to be conserved for a long time. Compliance, regulations, never-delete policies and so on, lead us to store and conserve data for longer and longer. Even cloud is not a solution to overcome the increasing infrastructure costs at this point, but what happens if we can create more value out of it?

Data stored in our systems can be considered a liability or become the most powerful asset for the organization, and any digital transformation initiative can benefit from it.

This 1-hour webinar explores:

Understanding data growth and diversity
Transforming a liability into an asset with classification and search
How to build efficient intelligent archives for data reusability
Applications that can benefit from data reusability
Sign up for this webinar to learn how the right data management practices and intelligent archives can boost the value of data and make it reusable for new applications, becoming a tool to improve and simplify the digital transformation journey of your organization.

Empowering Digital Transformation with Data Management

This free 1-hour webinar from GigaOm Research brings together experts in DevOps and Hybrid Cloud, featuring GigaOm Jon Collins and special guests from NetApp, Ingo Fuchs, Chief Technologist, Cloud and DevOps, and Chris Merz, Principal Technologist, DevOps. The discussion will focus on delivering DevOps and the challenges faced when adopting this culture. 

Not only do organizations find it challenging to scale DevOps practices across the business, it’s also hard to keep pace with the fast, real-time needs of application development. As companies face the reality of the pace required for software development, they’re simultaneously challenged to balance quality and security, governance and management, complexity and collaboration, and they require an agile storage strategy to allow them to pivot as needs change. 

Should such organizations just go back to waterfall models and single-server, three-layer architectures? Of course not. The right approach allows them to pick and choose the right infrastructure, whether it be in the cloud, or on-premises, to deliver the right solutions for their business needs - all without affecting their developer experience. In this webinar, we talk to NetApp, itself a large enterprise using both DevOps and hybrid multi-cloud strategy, about lessons learned from helping customers towards this goal. 

In this 1-hour webinar, attendees will discover: 

• The challenges faced by organizations looking to adopt DevOps 
• What this means in terms of symptoms, costs, efficiency and effectiveness impacts 
• Best practices for supporting software development 
•What tools, technologies, and processes enable DevOps to exist, no matter your storage strategy 
•How to choose the right infrastructure for your strategy

Digital Transformation: 5 Signs You’re Facing an Organizational Crisis

With organizations increasingly adopting microservices, practitioners must be prepared to manage an ever-increasing multitude of services and APIs. Making matters more challenging, organizations and development teams within them vary widely in the protocols, methods, authorization, authentication, and usage patterns that they use in critical production services. Not only do organizations depend on these services and need to ensure their proper management, they also need practically limitless scale-out potential for large scale deployments, high-throughput performance with 100% response rates and 24/7/365 availability.

This free 1-hour webinar, led by GigaOm contributor Jake Dolezal, and co-presented with GigaOm Analyst William McKnight and Mike Bilodeau from Product Marketing at Kong, focuses on the results of a performance benchmark completed with two popular API management solutions: Kong Enterprise and Apigee. These two players have surfaced as leaders within the critical vertical of API and microservice management. The webinar will highlight performance differences between Apigee and Kong Enterprise across commonly-used enterprise feature sets and discuss the critical factors to consider when selecting a high-performance API management platform.

In this 1-hour webinar, you will discover:

Selecting the Best in Enterprise Microservices and API Management

Today’s enterprises are using more data than ever before, from a large and growing variety of sources.  Even smaller organizations that don’t explicitly administer conventional databases do, in fact, have numerous repositories, often with high volumes of data, on-premises and in the cloud. Such data must be actively managed and governed; regulatory compliance demands it.  Beyond compliance, data is a competitive asset whose active management is just good business.

A modern data catalog platform is the key to establishing management and governance of your data. A data catalog can offer you connectivity to a variety of data sources; artificial intelligence (AI)-powered assistance; the ability to identify and tag sensitive data and personally identifiable information (PII); and even support for cataloging data embedded in visualizations. With all that power, a great data catalog platform can help inventory and master an entire data estate, even for organizations new to data management.

Join GigaOm for this free 1-hour webinar from GigaOm Research to learn about data catalogs, governance and their tie-ins to other components in the data landscape. The Webinar features GigaOm Analyst Andrew Brust and Andy Sheldon, VP of Marketing, at Unifi Software, a leader in data catalogs and data preparation.

This 1-hour webinar explores:

Why data governance is germane to everyone, from individual business units, to SMBs, all the way to large Enterprise IT organizations
How to establish standards for trusted data, and attain them across the business
The keys to combining data cataloging and data preparation synergistically

Data Catalogs: Versatile, Accessible and Essential for Data Governance

This free 1-hour webinar from Gigaom Research brings together leading minds in mobile security, including Gigaom senior analysts Bob Egan and Larry Walsh, joined by Samsung thought leaders in a roundtable discussion on how businesses can employ best-in-class strategies to mitigate mobile security risks across the organization. 

As mobility in all its forms, including Internet of Things (IoT), continues to pervade our homes and businesses, it’s no wonder why companies report a 47% increase in mobile threats. In fact, by some estimates, upwards of 60% of companies report some sort of hack owed to unsecure mobile apps and mobile data leakage. 

One in five employees store company documents in third-party cloud services. Think they’re all doing so securely and with IT approval? The modern day worker will get his or her job done using whatever tools are needed, whether those tools are IT approved or not. Simply managing employee BYOD devices does not make sense for every organization but securing devices and their app and cloud ecosystem is critical by utilizing a mobile defense initiative. 

We’ll share stories and lessons learned about shadow IT as we discuss how to safely support employees who don’t always seek IT guidance. 

During this webinar, experts will address the key issues: 

1. How is the mobile security threat evolving? 
2. What are the core tenants of a mobile defense initiative? 
3. How do you secure your organization at scale today, for tomorrow?

Mobile Security Futures: Building Scale and Diversity for Tomorrow, Today.

The question of whether data lakes or data warehouses provide more efficacy is now almost cliché. In the classic version of the story, business users suffer collateral damage as these two conflicting models duke it out, and one or the other wins. In the alternate ending, the two models are unified, each leveraged for its relative strength, leaving business users to benefit greatly. 
Both of these endings involve a little wishful thinking, frankly. Can business users really do without the flexibility and agility of a data lake, or can they dispense with the rigor and governance of a data warehouse? And, conversely, can they really have it both ways, without a monumental data modeling and ETL burden? 

When at an impasse in data management, applying data-driven thinking can often help. What if a virtual data layer could be formed over warehouse and lake, and what if the ETL and modeling burden to build that layer were automated, through the use of machine learning? Now the warehouse and lake can exist separately, unified virtually, and interfaced autonomously. 
Can this really be done? Can performance be acceptable? Join us for this free 1-hour webinar from GigaOm Research. The webinar features GigaOm analyst Andrew Brust and special guest, Roi Avinoam, Co-founder and CTO from Panoply, a company specializing in smart data warehouse technology. 

In this 1-hour webinar, you will discover: 

- How warehouse and lake can be unified virtually while developing separately 
- How and when data in the lake can “graduate” to become part of the warehouse. 
- How existing database technologies like views and caching can be applied in new ways to address the new requirements of data-driven organizations

Data Warehouse + Data Lake: Get the Synergy, Ditch the Complexity

Today’s data technology stack can be a hodgepodge. You may have one set of technologies for operational databases; another for a caching layer; still more tech for analytics and AI; and additional platforms for processing data on edge and mobile devices. Each of these workloads seems to demand a specialized platform. And the resulting complexity is formidable.

But an enlightened architecture can consolidate your data stack, bringing efficiency and consistency. Unifying approaches, to both systems of engagement and systems of record, will get you a long way. So too will a revamped perspective on storage, leveraging RAM and other memory technologies, to maximum effect. The combination of strong consistency and high-performance in one database platform can close the deal.Want to learn how you can streamline your manifest of deployed data technologies? Join us for this free 1-hour webinar from GigaOm Research. The webinar features GigaOm analyst Andrew Brust with Srini V Srinivasan, Co-founder of Aerospike, a leader in enterprise-grade, real-time database technology, deployable across tiers and workloads.

In this 1-hour webinar, we will explore:
• How a single database architecture can work across transactional, analytics and edge scenarios
• Why combining RAM and flash storage can accelerate performance and reduce your infrastructure profiles
• Examples of streamlined data stack deployment, across industries and use cases

Unifying the Data Tech Stack: Across the Edge, Analytics and Operational Tiers

Hyperconvergence is now adopted by an ever-growing number of enterprises because of its simplicity, but others don’t like it because of its lack of efficiency, or because they do not find it flexible enough to answer to all of their workload needs.

Yet, it is not always possible to get everything you want. However, technology and products are quickly maturing, and now enterprises can ask for much more.

Attend this free GigaOm webinar featuring experts in enterprise data storage and IT infrastructure, including GigaOm Analyst, Enrico Signoretti and DataCore’s Sr. Product Manager, Manish Chacko, discussing innovative solutions for infrastructure strategies.

Attendees will learn innovative infrastructure strategies and explore solutions from both technical and business perspectives, including:

Hybrid-Converged Infrastructure: Deploying HCI 2.0 with Existing SANs

This free 1-hour webinar from GigaOm Research brings together experts on Composable Infrastructure, featuring GigaOm Analysts Ray Lucchesi, Steve Ginsberg, and Philip Sellers. The discussion will focus on how Composable Infrastructure can improve data center resource utilization for mixed application workloads.

Ever since the emergence of high-end X86 servers, IT has been burdened with the concern of underutilized data center assets. With virtualization, admins could take advantage of increases in computation to apply excess CPU cycles for use by other applications or users. However, similar concerns have surfaced for high-speed storage, networking, and other resources.

Where virtualization solved compute over capacity, data centers are now left with NVMe SSD storage, proliferating GPU cores, and fast networking that no single application could effectively use. Yes, NVMeoF can help share high-performance NVMe storage and network virtualization and other solutions can help better utilize abundant networking capacity, but these are point solutions for specific components. A more general solution is needed, one that spans all data center resources. That is, a single system, which can disaggregate data center resources from servers and compose a “logical” server consisting of one or more of those resources to run an application and when that completes, move them on to the next. With composable infrastructure, IT customers have a single solution that covers all server resources.

In this webinar, attendees will come away with an enriched understanding of composable infrastructure solutions and how to employ them to better utilize the abundant compute, storage and networking resources that are now available.

Employing Composable Infrastructure to Improve Data Center Resource Utilization

Awash in a sea of raw data and faced with mounting pressure to embrace artificial intelligence (AI), what can companies do to make sure training data is comprehensive, and predictive models are maximally accurate? The answer is to embrace a human involvement in the AI workflow. Such an approach leads to the creation of high-quality training data, which is increasingly recognized as the foundation for AI enablement. 
But the successful approach is more sophisticated than merely soliciting human participation and assigning people tasks. A secure, on-demand approach to human involvement, that is both flexible and accurate, is required. 

Join us for this free 1-hour webinar from GigaOm Research, featuring GigaOm analyst Andrew Brust, joined by guests from Alegion, a company specializing in human intelligence-assisted AI. The roundtable discussion will explore the expanding role of humans, not just in gathering and refining data, but also in AI enablement after the initiative has begun. 

In this 1-hour webinar, you will discover: 

- Why high-quality training data is critical to AI 
- How to achieve the right balance of human and machine 
- How human involvement can be used, both to create the foundation for a successful AI implementation and facilitate continued refinement of the project
