Overview

 

Multicloud 4.0

 

In 2021, the cloud market is becoming more specialised, and industry clouds are emerging to help customers in regulated industries to utilise cloud in a compliant way. The future of the digital platform has cloud as its design point and operating model, and customers are building out their hybrid and multicloud architectures. IT organizations need to handle multilayer business applications in complex multicloud operations as well as dynamic cloud-native applications on the same digital platform. ​Key challenges are cost management, data management, security, performance and management across multiple clouds. 

To deal with these challenges successfully, IT organisations should look not only at the technology evolution and select the right cloud providers, cloud operating model, and target architecture, but also at the development of skills and the cultural change that follow the change in technology platform.​

IDC's Multicloud 2021 will review industry trends and provide you with an opportunity to look at the ways companies can move from islands of innovation to cloud-based operating models at scale and drive a cultural evolution to speed up innovation and business transformation.

Achieving cloud security with confidence across clouds

Zahier Madhar

Security Engineer and Evangelist, Office of the CTO, Check Point

Hybrid and multi cloud architectures empowers organizations to distribute their workloads across multiple cloud environments so they can get the biggest bang for their buck while mitigating risks associated with individual cloud environments. But it also creates challenges to your ability to achieve unified visibility, governance and security across your clouds.

How to make your journey to a cloud native enterprise a success by addressing the Organizational impact of Cloud

Clive Deakin

Executive Cloud Advisor, Cloudreach

Industry experience shows that when the journey to cloud is understood and undertaken in a planned manner, they can provide companies innovative ways to deliver existing services, whilst also providing rapid access to new capability, help to reduce costs, accelerate time to market, and drive efficiencies. 

  • Transformation and Change is not just about the technology it's about the journey from AS-IS to TO-BE and impact across the company.
  • A TO-BE model shows how an organization should be supported by its employees and its organizational structure to deliver and execute the organization's future strategy. 
  • Empower and accelerate cloud adoption at scale though effective change.

Coffee Break

Cloud Security Nirvana

Ricardo Ferreira

Field CISO, Fortinet

As organizations start on their cloud journey, the operating model for Cloud is quite different from the on-prem model, this leads to increased friction, lack of agility, and poor business outcomes, especially in security and risk teams.  As organizations pursue a hybrid and multi-cloud strategy, it is important to understand how to leverage the best of both worlds, creating a unified experience for security groups in these types of ecosystems. Join Fortinet in an informative session on achieving Nirvana, a unified Cloud security posture across environments, without compromising the organization's agility.

Cloud Cost Management

Clive Deakin

Executive Cloud Advisor, Cloudreach

Arnold Verhoeven

Global account Manager System Integrators, Intel Corporation

Mario Thomas

AWS Spokesperson, and Head of Experienced-Based Acceleration (EBA) in EMEA Amazon Web Services (AWS)

Cost management of cloud within your organization is more than CAPEX and OPEX and the resulting ROI. This fireside chat will discuss the challenges and 'total value' of effective cost management. 

  • Be proactive and prudent - Having a clear understanding of your infrastructure lifecycle will allow you to define an optimized FinOps approach.
  • Devolve ownership to the respective teams and that will drive value.
  • Make your cost decisions from the business value you want to achieve from cloud.
