Applying the Cloud Model to Your Data Centre
In this episode, KJ Burke and Jason Allan from CDW and Dan Nitta Mackay from Intel discuss how organizations should automate, streamline and standardize on-premises equipment and how to maximize investment by operating workloads appropriately (on-prem vs cloud), automating and orchestrating new services within the data centre.
Get the Most out of the Hybrid Cloud
As a business stakeholder, how can you meet the need for modern technology while managing critical business requirements and legacy applications?
The answer lies in the hybrid cloud. A hybrid cloud model allows you to identify the business systems that will be best suited in a public cloud environment based on technical and business factors. Other systems that may not make sense to move to a public cloud platform can remain on premises, or in a private cloud, and continue to operate as the business requires.
As you adopt this hybrid cloud model, the agility and accessibility needed by modern business operations will require modern technology solutions. Throughout the course of this podcast series, we hope to educate and inform you on a range of solutions that might prove useful as you build out your hybrid cloud.
