Enterprise and the Hybrid Future By @VMware | @CloudExpo [#CloudExpo]

Enterprises require the performance, agility and on-demand access of the public cloud, and the management, security and compatibility of the private cloud. The solution? In his session at 15th Cloud Expo, Simone Brunozzi, VP and Chief Technologist(global role) for VMware, will explore how to unlock the power of the hybrid cloud and the steps to get there. He’ll discuss the challenges that conventional approaches to both public and private cloud computing, and outline the tough decisions that must be made to accelerate the journey to the hybrid cloud. As part of the transition, an Infrastructure-as-a-Service model will enable enterprise IT to build services beyond their data center while owning what gets moved, when to move it, and for how long. IT can then move forward on what matters most to the organization that it supports – availability, agility and efficiency.

Software-Defined Security By @CatbirdSecurity | @CloudExpo [#Cloud]

Compute virtualization has been transformational, yet security policy implementation and enforcement has lagged behind in agility and automation.
There are a number of key considerations when implementing policy in private and hybrid clouds.
