Can Infrastructure Pros Ever Really Make Developers Happy?

The relationship between infrastructure professionals and developers can be challenging. Developers want the infrastructure to be fast, reliable and easy to use, while infrastructure professionals need to balance these requirements with security, scalability and cost-efficiency. This session will explore the common challenges that infrastructure pros face in trying to make developers happy, and will discuss strategies for improving collaboration and communication between the two groups. We will also cover best practices for infrastructure provisioning, management and monitoring that can help to meet the needs of…

Navigating Nerve Clusters of Multi-Cloud and Edge Applications: The Importance of Secure Colocation in the New WAN Architecture

Applications and data are being modularized into microservices and moved to multiple public clouds. In some cases, they are also being distributed to the network edge. They are increasingly being consumed from multiple software-as-a-service (SaaS) providers too. With applications and microservices popping up across all domains, the network should be seen as a growing set of interconnected “nerve clusters” situated where the data is, which could be anywhere along the edge-cloud continuum. The new network needs to be able to securely connect within and between…

Valtix Proof of Concept: Achieving Multi-Cloud, Cloud-Native Security with Valtix (Part of Cisco)

When enterprises first experimented with the cloud, developers using what the cloud provider made available for security was fine – it was an experiment. When enterprises started lifting and shifting apps/workloads, it was acceptable to lift-and-shift security – using old approaches but applied to the cloud (i.e., virtual appliances). But looking at cloud, re-factored or born-in-the cloud apps and workloads, all of the existing approaches become cumbersome at best and broken at worst. They miss out on cloud agility, scalability, enterprise security capabilities, and multi-cloud…

IBM Proof of Concept: What If Multicloud Networks Put the Needs of Applications First?

Enterprises are adopting hybrid multicloud architectures with applications and data assets spread across public, private and edge clouds. However, IT teams are challenged with deploying, managing, connecting and securing disparate architectures. These drastic shifts in the needs of applications and users are not addressable with traditional models of networking, including earlier generations of SDN, leading to increased pressure on CloudOps teams. In this session, you’ll learn how by reimagining connectivity from an application context, IT can solve the above challenges and enable self-service connectivity for…

ONUG Leadership Award For Vision & Innovation Spring 2023 Host – Cigna

Keynote: New Operational Models that Optimize Enterprise Cloud Value Extraction & Cost Reduction

Enterprise cloud adoption has become a must-have for organizations looking to improve their competitiveness and innovation. However, the complexity of cloud environments, the high costs associated with cloud services and the lack of visibility into cloud usage and costs, can often make it difficult for organizations to fully extract the value of their cloud investments. This keynote panel session will bring together experts from different industries to discuss new operational models that help organizations optimize their cloud value extraction and reduce costs. The panel will…
