Rightscale Webinar: Plan for Failure: How to Avert Disaster With a Cloud Stra...RightScale
As AWS and Netflix learned this past Christmas Eve, outages happen. The question isn’t how to avoid outages, but rather how to recover quickly and effectively when they occur. One approach is to develop a multi-cloud strategy – utilizing either different providers or multiple regions from the same provider – to build in safeguards against anything from a natural disaster to the workman in the street who accidentally chops into a cable. But multi-cloud strategies carry their own challenges. Besides coping with architecture and resource allocation, businesses that leverage more than one cloud provider are faced with forecasting cloud costs that have suddenly become even more complex and managing a high availability architecture across multiple clouds.
Related topics we’ll discuss:
- How to translate an old IT budget into accurate costs for the new world of cloud
- Is outage-proofing possible?
- Using a global hybrid approach to cope with regional compliance regulations
- Managing multiple private and public clouds from a single dashboard
Who should attend:
- CIOs
- Data managers/developers
- IT decision makers
- Business strategists and decision makers
- Cloud platform providers
Cloud computing allows users to access computing resources like data storage and software applications over the internet instead of installing them locally. It provides benefits like flexibility, scalability, and reduced costs compared to maintaining physical computing infrastructure. However, moving to the cloud also means giving up some control and configuration options. While cloud computing is not a solution for all businesses, it can simplify IT management for many by letting experts handle maintenance of huge data centers instead of businesses running their own physical servers.
Machine learning at the edge is gaining traction. Tech companies like Google, Amazon, Nvidia, Intel and ARM all have their solutions and are betting on the technology. Communities have recently started forming around this movement.
Applications that require privacy, speed, autonomy and power efficiency greatly benefit from these new inference accelerators. This will drive decision making at the edge.
This document discusses the benefits and challenges of cloud computing. Key points include:
- Cloud computing provides significant cost efficiencies through massive economies of scale, with storage, bandwidth and computing power increasing dramatically over time at lower prices. However, issues around trust, bandwidth limitations and cultural acceptance must still be addressed.
- Trust in cloud providers to protect privacy and security is a major challenge, though techniques like differential privacy aim to anonymize personal data. Bandwidth constraints also remain for large data transfers. Significant cultural changes are still needed for full adoption.
Cloud Computing is being positioned as the future of the IT Industry, yet we collectively seem to be unsure on what it actually is and, more importantly, how to get from here to there. This session will attempt to reconnect us all with the longer term reasons on why the cloud is not just important but fundamental to the kind of transformation we are looking technology to provide the way we live, work and play.

The threat of AI taking over our jobs is a belief that many still have today. But nothing can be further from the truth—as with any disruptive technology, some jobs will be replaced by machines, while many more opportunities will be created and augmented for more efficiency and value. This is evident with the current COVID-19 crisis in how organizations that are utilizing a hybrid workforce of humans and AI-powered virtual agents have been able to optimize the customer experience. While conversational AI provides 24/7 automated self-service, live agents are given more bandwidth to focus on more complex, higher-value work that requires personal interactions.
