Leaders Roundtable: 50 Shades of Cloud: Defining a Hybrid Framework that Supports Your Business Needs

All organisations today aim to be customer-focused, innovative, and agile enterprises, that are empowered by real-time and seamless data access.

Cloud is at the heart of this transformation – and organisations increasingly look to host infrastructure, apps, and workloads where it makes most business sense, whether public, on-prem, private or hybrid.

Ecosystm research shows that in Australia:

  • 52% of organisations are evolving their IT operations including changes to their cloud strategy.
  • 39% of organisations have a hybrid, multi-cloud approach.
  • Yet, organisations do not pay enough attention to hybrid cloud management, with only 18% of organisations increasing investments in 2023.

There are multiple aspects to consider as organisations transition to hybrid multi-cloud: building the right cloud architecture; integrating security and resiliency; defining management models; determining which workloads are right for public cloud or private cloud; cloud migration; a suitable FinOps framework that balances performance, cost, and integration; the ability to report and reduce carbon footprint; and, most importantly, managing the workloads and environment in a single pane of glass.

Join us and your industry peers to share best practices on how to define the right ‘shade’ of hybrid cloud. During the discussion we will touch on the following points:

  • Taking full advantage of hybrid & multi-cloud environments
  • Ensuring manageability through onshore-offshore support frameworks
  • Defining the business cases for internal business stakeholder
  • Building Resiliency across a hybrid cloud environment

Leaders Roundtable: Observability – a buzzword or a must have?

“We’re spending more time discovering and fixing problems, than we are improving systems!” Is this a comment you have heard in your business?

Accelerated cloud migration and a renewed focus on customer and employee experience initiatives has created increasingly complex distributed environments (a mix of on-prem, public, private and hybrid cloud with containers, VMs and other vital tools). On top of that, you have shadow IT, alert storms and time-consuming troubleshooting.

The ability to measure the health of your infrastructure by examining their outputs – and at the same time predicting future issues with AI – is certainly appealing. Observability is the new must-have for businesses in Australia as they look to improve their employee and customer outcomes to deepen loyalty and drive a more agile, innovative and successful business.

Join our roundtable with your peers as we discuss the importance of unified observability for your current and future IT infrastructure, and whether AIOps can switch your focus from Mean Time To Resolution towards Mean Time To Innovation.

Public Cloud, Agile Development & Security – Can you only pick two?

Public Cloud, Agile Development & Security – Can you only pick two?

Your organisation is generating data like never before, creating a requirement – or at least an expectation – that this asset will be leveraged for operational and product innovation.

This innovation and transformation is achieved through tapping into data wherever, whenever and however you need it. But moving data between teams, and across various applications and cloud environments, is a challenge that most organisations are struggling with.

When every company is a data company, how can organisations combine public cloud, agile development and data security successfully?

Discussion points include:

  • Does the “unattainable triangle” (quality, speed, price) also apply to data (security, agility, cloud)?
  • Challenges associated with blending the processes around digital and service innovation, agile development and security
  • How the increase in the public and hybrid cloud is impacting your ability to be secure and compliant
  • How are companies using data in new and exciting ways for competitive advantage? From poultry producers reducing wastage in butchering, through to mining companies looking to maximise blast results.

Cyber Security in a Data Dependent Age

Cyber Security in a Data Dependent Age

You have all read the headlines; LandMark White, Melbourne Heart Group, Australia’s Department of Parliamentary Services, Bunnings and the Victorian Government are some of the data breaches in Australia; just in the first two months of 2019. For LandMark White, the breach severely impacted the trust of their customers. Their shares are currently suspended on the ASX as they count the cost of their data breach. The damage is done; customer trust will cost millions to recover.

At this executive luncheon, we will bring together the collective experience of all the attendees to address today’s cyber challenges:

  • Current thinking around data breach prevention, protection and response
  • Managing the balance between security and agility
  • Challenges around efficiently, and securely, managing and distributing data
  • Given that 60% of organisations say that a data breach is inevitable*, how can data obfuscation ensure that data is of limited value in the hands of the unauthorised?
  • Discuss and evaluate our collective experiences in securing data in the cloud
  • How to weave security into the cloud journey
