2020 has intensified the need to deploy containerization to bundle together all dependencies for an application, reduce the attack surface for hackers and allow portability to different cloud services.

By 2025, 85% of major businesses are expected to have deployed containerized apps, which means they’re here to stay.

Since containers are lighter, simpler, and more programmable than virtual machines, they allow application modernization. Containers in today’s era help development teams to deploy applications more effectively, and function at a larger scale than ever before.

Kubernetes is a container orchestration system that allows several containers to work together in unison. It oversees areas such as the amount of computing, network, and storage resources available for containerized applications.

One of the easiest ways to add enterprise-grade storage to your Kubernetes applications is with Commvault as it offers high-performance, high availability, and all the other features that come standard.

Commvault offers the most robust and scalable container portfolio of hybrid cloud-native software-defined storage and total data security.

Join the ET Unwired session on Secure and quick cloud data migration for flexible business needs powered by Commvault to simplify your container strategy with Commvault and to migrate workloads across on-premises and multiple cloud locations.

Join this session to learn how to:

• Store: Hybrid cloud-native software-defined storage for containers
• Protect: Restore stateful applications from malware and other disasters
• Migrate: Transfer workloads from on-premises and various cloud locations

IDC is expecting data to grow 61% yearly to reach 175 zettabytes worldwide in 2025. While many organizations recognize the opportunity this explosion of data brings, most are not ready for the data ingestion and preparation demands needed to transform their businesses.

With this, there needs to be a paradigm shift in how data is managed and accessed to drive AI application development and achieve competitive advantages. This involves self-learning, automated data management powered by AI as well as tools enabling AI development initiatives within the data management architecture.

Watch the ET Unwired Session and hear from our experts as they discuss the concept of an AI database, and how data management with embedded AI capabilities enables:

• Operational efficiency with autonomous database capabilities and machine learning query optimization
• Systematic innovation that allows for AI models to be deployed via natural language querying and SQL
• Improved data science with data virtualization, sampling de-biasing, and data cleansing

Are you afraid of putting your Critical Workload on Public Cloud? Not Anymore!

While most enterprises focused initially on migrating relatively simple applications and workloads, they can now migrate, modernize and build complex and mission-critical applications in the public cloud as well.

Cloud can unleash your digital workforce and accelerate processes if you leverage the most secure and resilient compute choices for your tech stack’s several workloads. But there are so many Clouds – so how do you select the right cloud for enterprise level workloads, while avoiding complexity and sprawl?

Even when demand spikes, IT teams must deliver consistent user experiences; and besides maintaining end-to-security, they must keep an audit trail of compliance with regulations.

Most medium to large enterprises needs a platform which can deliver high-grade workload capabilities, market-leading data and app protection, and open source innovations which can take care of largest and most complex enterprises demand.

Join us in yet another exciting session of ET Unwired powered by IBM Cloud to learn how to –

• Reduce cost and increase the flexibility of your IT infrastructure
• Be confident with security that ensures you are the sole party with access to your data
• Increase application development productivity to support the changing needs of the business
• Use a broad range of computing choices: from bare metal and virtual servers to serverless architectures, Cloud Foundry apps and Kubernetes containers

What is happening in the world right now is a tragedy for many, a struggle for others, and an inconvenience for some, but it is stripping us all down to an understanding of the need to connect. Competition breeds excellence, innovation, success — right? Well, not always, especially in the modern landscape of business. Technology has democratized the playing field and it is not always big corporations that come out with the multimillion-dollar ideas. Start-ups are becoming increasingly successful in launching, marketing and building brands that become the corporations of tomorrow

Agenda:

 
The session will bring together the leading minds from across industries on a single platform to discuss the latest trends and technology and see what it has in store for organizations post covid-19. Some broader points to be covered during the session:

• Start-ups and corporations may seem like natural competitors, but in reality, they need each other. Why?
• Disruptive innovation
• Success Story and Synergy with Big Tech
• How start-ups and legacy companies can both cash in on market trends

In the times of this crisis, this dynamic session aims to equip you with the frameworks and strategies necessary to break through the clutter.

The session will throw light on newest trends, innovations, latest technology and recent changes happening due the pandemic and will focus on what all is required to meet the needs of the changing environment.

The pandemic has driven home the reality that digitalization is a big business differentiator for SMBs. In the face of reduced purchasing intent, reduced productivity and limited in-store traffic, SMBs that pivoted quickly to technology demonstrated higher adaptability and resilience compared to those that did not. As a result, SMBs are taking the ‘digitalize to survive’ mantra to heart. Thus, we at The Economic Times are organizing a focused roundtable on the topic “Embracing Cloud by SMBs for Business Resilience”. This session will dig deeper into the criticalities of why cloud is utmost important for these backbones of the economy and why it should be of top priority for all sectors to help SMBs navigate the evolving digital landscape.
