IDC Denmark Infrastructure Future of Infrastructure: The digital future is built on Cloud

How do you adopt Zero Trust in its simplest form? A Zero Trust architecture should be seen as an enabler to reduce cost and complexity. There are different approaches to Zero Trust, but the key principles should be reducing the attack surface and ensuring you protect what really matters. Join us to learn how to reduce security risk and infrastructure complexity while avoiding common pitfalls along Zero Trust Journey.

Dell Technologies would like to inspire on the most forward-looking cloud strategies in the industry. There is a common understanding that cloud technologies in 2022 are becoming mature. First complication comes when clouds become connected, next complication is multicloud.

People, process, and technology are still the foundation of a multicloud approach, but multicloud amplifies the disciplines needed to operate the control planes. Businesses are typically trying to differentiate on digital transformations initiatives and hybrid is where value can be generated – but it is not easy with a traditional approach and hybrid is key component in a multicloud world.

Cloud Computing is a great enabler for innovation and can drive significant reduction in complexity and costs while improving operational excellence and customer experience. To succeed, it’s crucial to get the buy-in from all stakeholders and ensure that the cloud strategy is aligned with the business goals of the future.

In this session, Rasmus Hald, Senior Director and Head of Cloud & Developer Experience at the LEGO Group, will dive into how cloud technology enables LEGO to amplify agility, enhance decision-making and capitalize on new opportunities to create the competitive advantage.

With hybrid and public cloud, challenges such as cost control and sustainable consumption are moving into the limelight. As their complexity increases, designing efficient environments is becoming more and more difficult for IT teams. High impact solutions, such as the use of automation in application performance, may seem risky. They shouldn't.

In this session you will learn how to

o   build trust in IT automation

o   optimize hybrid cloud infrastructure with AI-powered automation

o   make IT teams more productive

o   increase IT sustainability - both ecologically and financially - by using real-time consumption data

o   reduce costs and ensure applications always get exactly the resources they need for optimal performance.

In 2017 DFDS introduced ‘Composable Architecture’ a program to componentize the monolithic applications to speed up time to market, enable higher scalability and meet the new Digital customer demands.

What is ‘Composable Architecture’, what does Cloud have to do with it, what are the challenges and what advice can be given from the trenches of application modernization.    

More than ever in these uncertain times,  if companies want to stay ahead, investing in innovation is no longer optional. However, most of them will fail in this journey if they don’t invest in the right structural changes. It is paramount to keep capital investments for business strategic priorities and not for overprovisioning rapidly depreciating IT hardware. But innovation shouldn’t be a shortcut for just moving things to the cloud. Instead, it should let the benefits of the cloud experience come to you, regardless if your workloads reside best within a hyperscaler or within your own premises.  So do it now, but do right!

Når hyper scalernes cloud services kun er et klik væk, virker det nogle gange som om, at alle kan lave IT hurtigere end IT afdelingen. 

Hvis IT afdelingen fortsat skal være relevant, må vi forandre os!

Vi skal være skarpere på at forklare hvorfor, det er nødvendigt at have et vist niveau af corporate kontrol med cloud services. Vi skal lave arkitektur og regler, som folk forstår og har lyst til at følge. Vi skal gøre det så let at bruge corporate cloud services, at ingen har lyst til at købe dem selv online, og – ikke mindst – vi skal have vores "nørder" ud af kælderen og ind i rollen some forretningspartnere.

Do you trust and use open source? Open source and DevSecOps, can they really go together? In this talk, we will reveal how VELUX ignited the support for digital transformation internally in IT, utilising the power of open source to challenge the traditional architecture and delivery speed.

To get to where we are in a 80-year-old manufacturing company isn't easy, and we would like to share our learnings with you on 

1. why you should encourage your developers to use open source

2. how to choose and maintain open-source solutions in a fabulous DevSecOps way 

Hopefully after the talk, you will go back as a software environmentalist who promotes secure ways of using open source.

Security hygiene is still needed even in the modern cloud era. During his presentation, Richard will talk about the trends Lacework Labs Research sees in the wild. For example how adversaries still use simple techniques to do reconnaissance in cloud environments.

The presentation will also address what companies are experiencing and problems they are facing when intelligently operating in complex multi cloud environments. From a security point of view, learnings and best practices will be shared throughout the presentation.
