Automation -- Increase Your Customers Without Increasing HeadcountSolarwinds N-able
What if you could take all the repetitive tasks that your technicians handle on a daily basis and put 90% of them on autopilot?
Without automation, MSPs are limited to managing a small handful of customers per technician. In this webcast we want to show you how you can automate the majority of your business, allowing each tech to manage up to 3x the number of customers.
Join N-able’s Ali Mahmoud and Omar Kahiel for this informative webcast, and in just 30 minutes they will show you:
• How putting common tasks on autopilot can drastically reduce your current workload
• How automation allows you to support more customers with the same headcount
• How the system can log automated tasks as billable hours
The truth is that your customers don’t care about backup. They care about recovery.
In this webinar, backup specialist Christophe Bertrand of Arcserve will talk about on simplifying backup and discuss the key things you need to focus on when providing disaster recovery services to today’s businesses.
Join Christophe and the N-able team as we cover:
• The impact of downtime on an average business and how to minimize data loss
• Taking the complexity out of backup and talking about what matters
• How you can measure data protection and meet your SLA
With the adoption rate of cloud-based services showing no sign of slowing, MSPs need to ensure that they continue to generate revenue and create value. How do you move your customers to a cloud-based service without sacrificing revenue? How do you start, and how do you price and show value when hardware is seemingly out of sight and out of mind?
Join Channel Manager David Weeks in a discussion focused on:
• How to transition customers to a virtual environment and preserve revenue
• The key to selling managed cloud services to reach the maximum addressable market
• Demonstrating your value to customers
• And more!
Office 365 has been Microsoft’s fastest growing commercial product ever. 2014 revenues for Office as a whole were almost $2.5 billion and Office 365 was more than 10% of that. The remaining 90% leaves a whopping $22 billion SaaS opportunity for resellers to take part in.
Join Ali Mahmoud of N-able as we dive into the Office 365 opportunity discussing:
• A brief history of Office 365
• The revenue opportunity for resellers
• Is this opportunity right for MSPs?

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
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.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
