Join us at this IDC and IGXGlobal Executive Breakfast Briefing on the 22nd November to discuss the critical factors in driving multi-cloud success. This exclusive session is a great opportunity for you to share best practice with your peers, hear IDC's latest research and learn from leading industry experts.

Hybrid and multi-cloud architectures are critical in providing the agility and scale needed for digital transformation success as enterprises migrate their applications to the cloud. However, these architectures are only implemented successfully when the right foundation is in place. This puts networking, security and automation at the top of the list of foundation technologies an enterprise needs to get right to deliver on its targets.

The move of enterprise applications to hybrid and multi-cloud infrastructures and the rise of cloud native applications has changed requirements for networking, security and automation. You’ll learn why they are essential conduits for application, service and customer engagement success, the benefits you can achieve and the pitfalls to avoid. 

The morning will start with a cooked breakfast on arrival, followed by short presentations from IDC and IGXGlobal to set the scene. We'll then break into groups for roundtable discussions, focused on the following key topics:

• What are the key considerations of applications and networking when moving into a hybrid or cloud environment to ensure optimal performance and a great user experience?
  
• Security "of" the cloud and security "in" the cloud are different concepts that need to be understood to ensure security of data, users and applications. How do you get cloud security right to drive cloud-enabled agility but at the lowest possible risk to your enterprise?
  
• Cloud-like scalability and access to innovation are the key drivers to implement a hybrid and multi-cloud strategy. What are the pros and cons of automation and orchestration that you need to understand to drive cloud-like scale in your enterprise?
  

We have a limited number of complimentary places available for this breakfast briefing, so please register your interest as soon as possible. We look forward to seeing you there!
