Storage Scalability in Hybrid Cloud and Multicloud Environments
June 11, 2020
Robert Cone, Intel; Piyush Chaudhary, IBM; Pekon Gupta, SMART Modular
 
As data growth in enterprises continues to sky rocket, datacenter cloud scalability, whether on premises, in hybrid cloud or in multicloud deployments, is key for businesses. So, what are enterprise IT organizations supposed to do, given that 'run anything anywhere' is becoming more important than ever? Customers are finding that hybrid cloud storage solutions better meet their IT and business growth needs, so they can rapidly scale their IT infrastructure and cover a wider array of services. This webcast will help architects and consumers better understand these cloud solutions.
 
A Multi-tenant Multi-cluster Kubernetes Datapocalypse is Coming
June 23, 2020
Paul Burt, NetApp; Jim Fister, The Decision Place
 
The need for rapid deployment of scalable clusters is creating an opportunity for container solutions such as Kubernetes. But what are the implications of multiple Kubernetes clusters in a broad deployment? What happens if a cluster goes down? What’s the impact on business resiliency? Managing and securing multiple clusters is becoming a key topic and area of debate. Multi-cluster Kubernetes that provides robustness & resilience is rapidly moving from “best practice” to a “must have.”
