Personnel: Peter Imming

Amazon S3 is designed for 99.999999999% (11 9s) of durability, strong resiliency, and high availability. This makes S3 an ideal storage service for cloud-native applications, analytics, and machine learning. Strong data protection is nonnegotiable, and S3 durability is a natural fit. However, even the most durable storage cannot protect against unintended or accidental deletions. Additionally, ransomware events are a prime reason to evaluate additional protection for your critical data. Join this session to learn about S3 features that provide additional layers of protection, including S3 Versioning, S3 Cross-Region Replication (CRR), S3 Object Lock, and more.

Hyperscalers do a more-than-decent job where meeting SLAs are concerned, but when it comes to data protection, the native capabilities alone aren’t enough. Enterprises need to bring their own solution to make sure that their data is protected in public cloud at all times, and for that, nothing beats a purpose-built solution when the cloud of your choice is AWS.

Join Subbiah Sundaram, SVP of Products at HYCU in this Showcase as he debunks the myths around data protection on AWS and shines light on how HYCU takes data protection beyond backup with HYCU Protégé for AWS.

What we now call edge computing is nothing new, but changes to the technology and communications stack have given it new purpose. Just as enterprise IT workloads are moving to the cloud, they are also moving to the edge, from 5G to remote offices to client devices. What has changed and how will this affect enterprise technology in the coming years? That’s the topic of this Tech Field Day delegate roundtable discussion, moderated by Stephen Foskett.

Every enterprise IT product company is talking about sustainability and climate change, but is it real or is it marketing? Although ESG includes social progress and good governance, environmental sustainability is the first area that technology companies can address. The side effect of sustainable infrastructure is that it can bring energy savings, sometimes paying for itself over time. But are there other ways we can address sustainability?

Personnel: Stephen Foskett

VMware is in a transition right now, with the company being acquired by Broadcom and many customers questioning what they will do next. In this Field Day delegate roundtable discussion, we will consider how enterprise IT architecture might change once the direction of VMware changes, both as a company and as a product. And what about security, Kubernetes, and other advanced features? Should customers invest in the VMware solutions or look to other providers?

In this Tech Field Day roundtable discussion, the delegates explored the future of VMware customers in light of its acquisition by Broadcom. The conversation highlighted VMware’s pivotal role in enterprise IT, particularly with its vSphere and ESXi products, which are seen as the bedrock of data centers. Despite the acquisition, delegates agreed that customers are unlikely to abandon VMware in the short term due to the complexity and cost of switching platforms. However, concerns were raised about VMware’s ability to stay relevant in the evolving landscape of cloud-native applications and Kubernetes, where competitors like OpenShift and cloud providers are gaining traction. The discussion also touched on the potential impact on SMBs, who might reconsider their strategies if VMware’s focus shifts more towards larger enterprises. The delegates emphasized the need for VMware to simplify its offerings and possibly deliver them as managed services to maintain its value proposition. Overall, while the immediate future of VMware seems stable, its long-term success will depend on how it adapts to new technologies and customer needs under Broadcom’s ownership.
