The rise of IT as Service (ITaaS) is result of the intense rate of change brought about by technologies such as cloud computing, social media, consumerization, mobility, analytics and big data. The pace of change is only increasing, and these emerging technologies need to be rapidly integrated into modern enterprise, almost in real-time. Enter ITaaS, on-demand. In its various forms, ITaaS on-demand solves the myriad problems of modern IT resource consumption. When technology is restructured to be flexible, fast and ready, capabilities are provided based on usage. Transitioning to an on-demand hybrid infrastructure is a complete transformation that can support your future business goals, help fuel business innovation and turn IT from a cost center to a value center. This is the future of IT, it will be hybrid, and it will be on-demand with utmost flexibility, scalability and cost-efficiency.

A myriad of new methodologies and technologies from Cloud Computing to BYOD have changed the IT landscape demonstrably. In parallel, higher-value functions around data, customer engagement and revenue growth are pushing CIOs to consider alternative approaches. The nexus is moving IT to a zero footprint infrastructure model. Organizations including Healthcare, Financial Services, Insurance and Airlines are moving in this direction. Unfortunately, traditional IT paradigms present a challenge to adopting these new methodologies. From the CIO perspective, this session outlines the issues, opportunities and steps required for the move. Not moving is no longer an option, but Moving to a Zero IT Infrastructure Footprint is not a panacea without challenges. This session discusses the challenges and how to address them.

Moving to a Zero IT Footprint

Tim Crawford

How can you convince decision-makers to take new initiatives to the cloud? In this session we will consider how the low cost, high scalability and high reliability of the cloud make it a valuable option for any enterprise. We will discuss the business benefits of PaaS/IaaS, rapid prototyping, security, business continuity, disaster recovery, and hybrid connectivity. We will also discuss the psychology behind change and how to make it happen.

Accelerating government agility with cloud computing v1

With businesses built around software now disrupting multiple industries that appeared to have stable leaders, the need has emerged for enterprises to create "software factories" built around the following principles: Streaming customer feedback directly into rapid, iterative cycles of application development Horizontally scaling applications to meet user demand Compatibility with an enormous diversity of clients, with mobility (smartphones, tablets, etc.) taking the lead Continuous delivery of value, shrinking the cycle time from concept to cash Infrastructure has taken the lead in adapting to meet these needs with the move to the cloud, and Platform as a Service (PaaS) has raised the level of abstraction to a focus on an ecosystem of applications and services. However, most applications are still developed as if we're living in the previous generation of both business and infrastructure: the monolithic application. Microservices - small, loosely coupled applications that follow the Unix philosophy of "doing one thing well" - represent the application development side of enabling rapid, iterative development, horizontal scale, polyglot clients, and continuous delivery. They also enable us to scale application development and eliminate long term commitments to a single technology stack. While microservices are simple, they are certainly not easy. It's recently been said that "microservices are not a free lunch". Interestingly enough, if you look at the concerns expressed here about microservices, you'll find that they are exactly the challenges that a PaaS is intended to address. So while microservices do not necessarily imply cloud (and vice versa), there is in fact a symbiotic relationship between the two, with each approach somehow compensating for the limitations of the other, much like the practices of eXtreme Programming.

In every industry, organizations have been looking to move their entire business, not just their back office applications, to the cloud. Until recently, mission-critical applications have not been cloud-ready. Options have been limited to point solutions from multiple vendors that require extensive integration, and cloud applications that simply lack the deep, unique functionality required by manufacturers, hospitals, banks, or hotels. In this session, hear how enterprise application suites that run critical operations and provide real-time analytics have reached the tipping point and now make it possible to run your entire business in the cloud. Session sponsored by Infor.

Cost optimization is a frequently cited reason for adopting cloud computing. However, some organizations are finding that during the migration process, replicating what is in your data centers isn’t yielding ideal results and expending numerous resources. Cloud Technology Partners Principal Architect Kacy Clarke and Global Alliance Manager Stuart Robertson discuss the realistic results you should keep in mind during your initial TCO/ROI analysis and suggest best practices to realize those goals.

Organizations have shifted their thinking from solving customer problems to improving customer experience by leveraging a plethora of the latest technologies at their disposal. What are the challenges faced by organizations moving from being business-driven to being technology-driven? How does an organization achieve this shift when there are multiple business silos driven by their own agendas? Cloud, big data, mobile, and Internet of Things technologies are changing the technical landscape and having an impact on the way business is done. This session provides a multidimensional perspective on how to move an organization from business-driven to technology-driven. It also presents two customer case studies.

I'm excited to share my latest predictions on how AI, robotics, and other technological advancements will reshape industries in the coming years. The slides explore the exponential growth of computational power, the future of AI and robotics, and their profound impact on various sectors. Why this matters: The success of new products and investments hinges on precise timing and foresight into emerging categories. This deck equips founders, VCs, and industry leaders with insights to align future products with upcoming tech developments. These insights enhance the ability to forecast industry trends, improve market timing, and predict competitor actions. Highlights: ▪ Exponential Growth in Compute: How $1000 will soon buy the computational power of a human brain ▪ Scaling of AI Models: The journey towards beyond human-scale models and intelligent edge computing ▪ Transformative Technologies: From advanced robotics and brain interfaces to automated healthcare and beyond ▪ Future of Work: How automation will redefine jobs and economic structures by 2040 With so many predictions presented here, some will inevitably be wrong or mistimed, especially with potential external disruptions. For instance, a conflict in Taiwan could severely impact global semiconductor production, affecting compute costs and related advancements. Nonetheless, these slides are intended to guide intuition on future technological trends.

I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other? Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
