Will Repatriation of Workloads Drive a Golden Era in Private Infrastructure Solutions?

There is a school of thought that the cost of public cloud gets out-of-control expensive as a company scales consumption to the point where cloud cost is 80% +/- the cost of sales. Also many believe that corporations would reduce their cost by 50% if workloads were repatriated back into private data centers. First, is this true? And if so, then is the industry on the verge of a golden age of private infrastructure investment?

IoT: Underpinnings of the Digital Factory – Sponsored by Juniper

Use of IoT devices/sensors in healthcare, manufacturing, transportation/logistics, distribution centers, remote training, etc have ballooned to over 8.4 billion and growing, making them a fundamental element of the digital factory.  Factor in high demand of AI/ML based real-time analytics for decision making, new networking e.g., Wi-fi 6/5G/PLTE/FWA and cloud edge is needed for the digital Enterprise evolve to consume and support these requirements for increasing reliability need for the WAN, high transient throughput capability and deterministic low latency network.

Multi-Cloud Security: Prioritizing Risks with Notification and Resource Decorators -Sponsored by Wiz

Security leaders and managers are responsible for securing their organization’s cloud environments but are not always involved in their design and development—or even aware of what exists in their cloud. This session will cover a new approach that overcomes the cloud security gap facing security today in people, processes, and technology.
