There are a number of challenges that Enterprise IT leaders of today are faced with on a daily basis. Among those most frequently cited by readers of Tech Monitor are: the hybrid work landscape post-Covid, environmental sustainability, artificial intelligence (AI), cyber security, and edge computing.

All of these, combined with an ever rising volume of data, mean that finding the right platforms to store and manage workloads is crucial to the efficiency and ultimately the success of your organisation.

The hybrid cloud model offers the flexibility of storing data on a public cloud, on-premise or on the edge.

At this specially convened Tech Monitor roundtable dinner, in partnership with Lenovo and VMware, we will look at the benefits of hybrid cloud, from operational efficiency to cost manageability. We’ll also look at the factors that determine which data should be stored in the cloud and which is better kept on premise, with due consideration of the shift towards AI.

This event provides an opportunity for senior IT leaders to meet in the relaxed surroundings of the Ivy City Garden (close to Liverpool Street Station), to network with peers and exchange their thoughts on the subject matter.

The evening will aim to prove how the use of hybrid cloud can help organisations gain competitive edge and find success in the current economic climate.

Topics for discussion will include:

  1. Workload optimisation: public vs. private cloud
  2. Combatting the escalating cost of the public cloud
  3. Harnessing hybrid cloud to meet sustainability goals and boost ESG credentials
  4. The important of transparency
  5. The future of data residency
  6. Striking correct balances in managed services agreements
  7. Safeguarding interoperability
  8. Achieving low-latency connections

At a time when businesses are under growing pressure to deliver operational excellence and transformational innovation, more and more IT decision-makers are turning to the hybrid cloud to improve performance, drive growth and enhance flexibility.

For some, a hybrid cloud infrastructure represents a best of both worlds approach, enabling IT leaders to customise the optimal mix of public cloud, private cloud, and on-premises infrastructure solutions. It has proven to help organisations become more agile, manage costs and remain fit to meet the demands of a fast-changing digital landscape.

It is, however, by no means a silver bullet, and many businesses across a variety of industries have yet to realise a significant return on investment from cloud. Among the barriers are regulatory demands, including data residency, and a need for low-latency connections. For these and other reasons, sometimes on-premise is the more sensible destination. And it’s why hybrid cloud – combining public cloud solutions with on-premise resources, often in your own or co-lo facilities – is proving attractive.

This exclusive Tech Monitor roundtable dinner, in partnership with Lenovo, will dissect how hybrid cloud can help businesses achieve operational efficiency, meet ESG credentials, lower costs, and outperform their peers on revenue growth and profitability.

The event is an opportunity for senior IT leaders to come together in a relaxed and convivial setting to share migration frustrations and opportunities, discussing to what extent the use of hybrid cloud can help organisations punch above their weight in the global economy.

Topics for discussion will include:

  • Workload optimisation: public vs. private cloud
  • Combatting the escalating cost of the public cloud
  • Harnessing hybrid cloud to meet sustainability goals and boost ESG credentials
  • The important of transparency
  • The future of data residency
  • Striking correct balances in managed services agreements
  • Safeguarding interoperability
  • Achieving low-latency connections

Tech Monitor is delighted to be joined by Richard Cassidy, Rubrik’s EMEA Field CISO, for exclusive insights into the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA). This new regulatory framework, formulated to strengthen the EU’s financial sector against operational disruptions and cyber-attacks, and it’s set to take effect soon!

Gain a comprehensive and actionable overview of DORA’s prescriptions, discover crucial strategies for building a compliance roadmap, and sync your business goals with a strong cyber resilience strategy.

Tap into Rubrik’s expertise to stay one step ahead of threats and ensure your cybersecurity strategy is both advanced and compliant! Register today to dive deeper into:

  • Understand what are the five key requirements that financial services organisations need to comply with DORA;
  • Acquire insights into how DORA is forcing financial services organisations to become more operational resilient;
  • Explore how Rubrik can assist with DORA and how it can support financial services organisations to strengthen their operational resilience journey.

What is DORA?

The Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA), the European Union legislation designed to accelerate cyber resilience capabilities among financial services institutions, is due to go into effect in early 2024. EU member states will need to abide by the law, which forces financial services organisations to improve their resilience to operations disruptions, such as cyberattacks, by placing much more emphasis on resilience and recovery as opposed to traditional detect-and-protect approaches.

Financial institutions—including banks, insurance companies, investment firms, cryptocurrency exchanges, and trading platforms, as well as their critical third parties—will need to align to DORA or run the risk of facing fines of up to 2% of their total annual worldwide turnover.
