Over the past decade, and especially the last year, organizations began to shift their technology infrastructures from on premises to the cloud. Initial applications included storage and backup, test/dev, big data analytics, and IaaS, but more recently, there has been an explosion of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) applications that offer off-the-shelf business functionality, centrally hosted in the cloud, and accessed from anywhere at anytime. 

But is the cloud the end-all and be-all of computing architectures?

Join this in-depth discussion to hear insights on the state of cloud computing, including:

• The rise of Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS) as the leading SaaS category
• Emerging architectures, like distributed cloud, to enable edge computing
• The advantages of NoSQL in a globally distributed environment
• The benefits of leveraging containerized workloads and services with Kubernetes
• How the cloud equates to cost savings and a more nimble business model

The global pandemic has forced global business leaders to rapidly pivot to remote work styles, and to ensure their infrastructure can withstand the massive surge in Internet activity. The National Cyber Security Centre has also issued warnings of increased threats targeting essential services and hospitals. CIOs are being challenged now more than ever to demonstrate efficiency and agility to begin planning for reopenings in the face of increasing uncertainty and adversity.

Join John Graham-Cumming, CTO of Cloudflare for an interactive virtual roundtable event as we discuss the impact increased Internet activity and cyber attacks is having in regions around the world and how you can manage the long-term implications of the current crisis on your infrastructure as you begin planning for reopening.

Discussion Topics:

• How the “big surge” is impacting Internet capacity worldwide.
• The increasing threat levels organizations are facing from advanced persistent threat groups.
• Best practices to ensure a more resilient architecture in the pandemic era.
• Exploring what reopening would look like based on efforts in other global regions.

Ever wonder how other organizations are adapting to constant IT changes?
