Energy Efficient Data Centres: The Consultant's Perspective

As the data era continues to bring significant opportunities and challenges, and COVID-19 pandemic makes remote work a new normal, it’s crucial that businesses are set up to be successful at the edge, either for your production data or your workforce daily working data. As such, network infrastructure is evolving fast to protect, optimize and scale businesses opportunities.

Join this webinar as global edge infrastructure providers come together to share insights and advice on how to build a future-ready network infrastructure that ensures success. Points of discussion will include:

- How to utilize automate network such as shifting traffic
- How to use intelligent networks to seek out and address issues before they impact the business
- Essentials for moving smoothly to the cloud and connect to network edge

Kubernetes has emerged as a hugely important foundation for edge computing. But should you incorporate Kubernetes and Containers into your Edge computing strategy? And if so, how?

Join this expert panel on BrightTALK, where we discuss why Kubernetes is ideal for running containers in edge computing environments. We’ll cover:

- The impact of using containers and orchestration as tools for enterprises to create small server farms at the edge
- How Kubernetes enables developers and DevOps engineers to deploy applications and services in a standard way at the edge
- Which orchestration tools make it easy to install Kubernetes on the edge infrastructure

Digitalization, the IoT and connectivity have allowed supply chain and logistics professionals globally to make better decisions by enabling ever increasing levels of visibility through real time goods and asset monitoring.



In the new normal remote working, accelerated planning and instant decision making have made end to end logistics and supply chain visibility the top initiative for manufacturers, retailers, distributors and logistics service providers.



So how do you get the most visibility, sift through the data, access the most useful information and the make the best decisions?

In this webinar we will walk you through the evolution of logistics and supply chain visibility and the options available to you; what you can/can’t see with them; what you can/can’t do with them; and how you can jump to smart decisions today.

Join us to find out more and have your questions answered.

Worldwide, regulations are being promulgated and aggressively enforced with the intention of protecting personal data. These regulatory actions are being taken to help mitigate exploitation of this data by cybercriminals and other opportunistic groups who have turned this into a profitable enterprise. Failure to meet these data protection requirements puts individuals at risk (e.g., identity theft, fraud, etc.), as well as subjecting organizations to significant harm (e.g., legal penalties).

This webcast highlights common privacy principles and themes within key privacy regulations. In addition, the related cybersecurity implications are explored. Lastly, the session will probe a few of the recent regulations/laws to outline interesting challenges due to over and under-specification of data protection requirements (e.g., “reasonable” security).

After viewing this webcast, attendees should understand:
•How privacy and security is characterized
•Data retention and deletion requirements
•Core data protection requirements of sample privacy regulations from around the globe
•The role that security plays with key privacy regulations
•Data breach implications and consequences

The Avi Networks (VMware NSX Advanced Load Balancer) software-defined platform provides multi-cloud load balancing, web application firewall, application analytics, and container ingress services across on-premises data centers and any cloud. In a short demo, see how you can how you can address the challenges of overprovisioning and overpaying for active-standby appliance pairs, complicated iRules, and inelastic services with a centrally managed, distributed fabric of load balancers that enables one-click deployment, simplified operations, and easy application troubleshooting.

This session gives an overview of modern load balancing use cases. Every application requires load balancing to deliver a great end user experience. Whether enabling remote workers with VDI, or refreshing legacy load balancers, migrating to public cloud, deploying SDN, or developing Kubernetes apps, learn how the Avi Networks enterprise-grade load balancer from VMware delivers consistent application services in both VMware as well as any other environment. You will learn how to set up unique per-app / per-tenant load balancing services easily.

Leveraging CI / CD pipelines, enterprises want to be able to automate in a hybrid world, with some on-premise and public cloud automation. Both enterprise and Department of Defense tech teams are facing a huge challenge as more and more IT infrastructure is moved to the cloud and made fully automated. The days of manual deployments of infrastructure are ending fast, and IT teams need automation tools to move to the modernization of IT becoming code including infrastructure and security. The key is to have the flexibility to have developers be able to wear the DevOps engineer hat with a platform they can use to create CI / CD pipelines. The CI/CD pipelines can easily use DevOps tools to create integrations into ticketing systems, run security remediation playbooks, deploy Kubernetes with a security benchmark, and even harden on-premise sensors.

This session will cover:
- Explain what is DevSecOps
- Explain CI / CD pipelines
- CI / CD Pipelines for DevSecOps: How it works
- Why hybrid CI / CD pipelines are required for Enterprise
- Real-world use cases of Hybrid Cloud CI / CD Pipelines for DevSecOps
