Today’s manufacturing plants are at a turning point, and brands we’ve grown up knowing and using, like Hyundai, LG, SK, and Lotte, are taking part. This rapid change includes an increased impetus for digitization and innovation—without adding silos, complexity, or high costs.

Cloud computing will help you save costs but not all clouds are equal. A patchwork of public cloud solutions may not be superior to a hybrid cloud network, and hybrid cloud will be challenging to manage without the ability to orchestrate the infrastructure from a single cohesive viewpoint.

Nutanix has helped organizations around the world tailor their enterprise cloud solutions to their specific needs. Let Nutanix help you use cloud technology as a springboard for continued prosperity.

Disruptive IT infrastructure has been the norm over the decades, rather than the exception. Still, we have never seen a time such as now. The traditional hardware-defined datacenter model is besieged on multiple fronts. On one side is the public cloud, which continues to grow ever more popular. On the other side is software-defined infrastructure known as hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI), which is also growing extremely rapidly. Seemingly sandwiched in the middle is the hybrid combination of software-defined infrastructure on-premises with multiple public cloud options – known as multi-cloud.

The goal of this book is to assist CIOs, CTOs, CFOs, IT managers, IT staff, channel partners, manufacturers, consultants, cloud providers, systems integrators, outsourcers, and anyone else interested in how to use financial analysis as a framework to optimize strategic decision-making. It is geared toward evaluating and building a corresponding business case for disruptive infrastructure technologies, and focuses on Nutanix’s HCI-based solution, what we call enterprise cloud, though the methodologies should prove helpful for analyzing any platform.

Through extensive research insights obtained from 2,650 global IT decision-makers, the second annual Enterprise Cloud Index (ECI) report describes the true state of global enterprise cloud computing deployments and plans. The report reveals key strategies being implemented by manufacturing IT professionals and how they compare to enterprise cloud experiences and plans in other verticals around the world.In this webinar, we will discuss the findings of the report and what it tells us about how the most successful manufacturers are running their business applications today, where they plan to run them in the future, their challenges with cloud computing, and how their cloud initiatives stack up against other IT projects and priorities.By attending this exclusive discussion, you will learn:

• What features and capabilities manufacturing enterprises prioritize in the cloud.
• The manufacturing industry’s preferred cloud model.
• The main factors driving cloud deployment decisions.
• Where manufacturing data centers are headed in the near future.

Disruptive technology such as hyper-converged infrastructure tends to significantly complicate the buying decision. It forces new operational procedures and can impact IT governance, security, and compliance. But even a strong financial justification might not be enough to alter the ingrained processes, interests, and cultural norms surrounding the legacy environment. In many cases, it takes an ROI story.

This webinar will assist CIOs, CTOs, CFOs, IT managers, IT staff, channel partners, manufacturers, consultants, cloud providers, systems integrators, outsourcers, and anyone else interested in how to use financial analysis as a framework to optimize strategic decision-making. Attend and receive a free copy of the eBook, The ROI Story: A Guide for IT Leaders and the IDC whitepaper, sponsored by Nutanix, Organizations Leverage Nutanix Enterprise Cloud as Scalable, High-Performing, and Cost-Effective Infrastructure Foundation.

Join us as we follow a day in the life of a Database administrator and the daily challenges they conquer with the Nutanix Database Solution. We will walk through the day-to-day tasks that pullan administrator in different directions, such as provisioning new databases at speed and managing an ever-growing database estate across production, dev, and test environments. In this webinar, we will walk through tackling zero-day database vulnerabilities without throwing a wrench in the entire day or week and how to increase your database backup frequency without affecting performance and using less storage than traditional methods. Attend this session to learn how the Nutanix Database Solution is revolutionizing the database experience for daily operations and how to take advantage of database as a service (DBaaS) to become a database hero.

I have spoken: I love my slow, badly managed and insecure workspace!’ said no one ever.Desktop as a Service (DaaS) is the engine of the digital workplace for today’s workspace, this is the way!

DaaS is a powerful platform to leverage modern Nutanix powered data centers and public clouds such as from Google, Microsoft or Amazon for end user computing with unmatched flexibility, manageability, and performance.

In this session you will learn about the unique Nutanix Frame use-cases and learn how end-users use Frame in simple and complex customer environments. You'll see how easy it is to support ISVs so they can ‘SaaS-ify their existing Windows Applications. It will be an awesome and demo packed session!

Also, you will learn how to

• Deliver applications on Any Device using an HTML5 browser for customers in;
• Education
• Media & Entertainment
• Government
• Design organizations and more

Traditionally end-user computing has been dominated by on-premises solutions like virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI). But the cloud has ushered in the emergence of desktop-as-a-service (DaaS), and many organizations have transitioned from a "design-build-support" model to an as-a-service model. Join us for this informative webinar to learn what the DaaS landscape looks like, including the differences between VDI and DaaS and why DaaS has become such a compelling option for IT teams. Ruben Sprujit, Sr. Technologist at Nutanix will lead you through:

• Core DaaS technologies and their value.
• Pros/cons of Azure, AWS, and GCP as Infrastructure-as-a-Service platforms for DaaS.
• Tips for DaaS success
• And more!

If your organization is like most enterprises, your high-performance databases are supported by traditional infrastructure. This means that discrete compute, storage, and network resources within your datacenter are carrying different parts of the overall workload to support database operations. You might think that this is beneficial load-balancing, but think again.

Is it time to change your approach to Infrastructure?
