While no two businesses have the same exact workload requirements, one common trend we are seeing is enterprise adoption of multi-cloud infrastructure. While this may not be something you have considered, multi-cloud may benefit you in several ways including:
Join us to learn how multi-cloud can benefit your business, considerations you should make, and how to get started.
Move to the Cloud with Confidence
If you are considering the right deployment model for your contact center, economic guidelines can help you choose the solution that is best for your company. Cloud, on-premises or hybrid.
Just a few years ago, businesses were still unsure of the viability of moving their contact centers and other critical enterprise systems to the cloud. Since then, with the decrease of cloud costs, and the corresponding increase in security and, the viability and total cost of ownership of cloud deployments are attracting more and more companies.
This eBook will cover how different criteria can affect a choice between a cloud or on-premises contact center, including:

Despite the tremendous promise and tangible business benefits that public cloud can deliver, challenges remain in areas such as simplifying network connectivity to the cloud, providing complete end-to-end digital experience management, and improving the performance and accelerating the release cycle of cloud-based applications.
Read this IDC paper to learn how to address these challenges:
The rise of virtualization as a business tool has dramatically enhanced server and primary storage utilization. By allowing multiple operating systems and applications to run on a single physical server, organizations can significantly lower their hardware costs and take advantage of efficiency and agility improvements as more and more tasks become automated. This also alleviates the pain of fragmented IT ecosystems and incompatible data silos.
Protecting these virtualized environments, however, and the ever-growing amount of structured and unstructured data being created, still requires a complex, on-prem secondary storage model that imposes heavy administrative overhead and infrastructure costs. The increasing pressure on IT teams to maintain business continuity and information governance are changing how businesses view infrastructure resiliency and long-term data retention—they are consequently looking to new solutions to ensure immediate availability and complete protection of the data that resides within their VMware environments.
The growth in the amount of data – from social media, streamed video, and unstructured documents – is a boon for storage vendors. But this assault is just beginning – IDC predicts that by 2020 there will be 20 billion new internet of things (IoT) devices globally, each sending data to be gathered, stored and analyzed.
But why move data into a monolithic lake when you can process it where it’s created?
In an age where everyone makes data-driven decisions, what should you be doing now to prepare for the analytics and data science demands your users will make?
That’s what we’re talking about today with Syed Mahmood, Director of Product Management for Data Science at Hortonworks.

Customers are facing incredible pressure to modernize and transform their IT to become a digital business; cloud is central to this transformation. Figuring out what workloads go on-premises, what goes in cloud, and how to manage the transition is challenging – and mistakes are costly. This is exacerbated even further once customers get to the cloud and need to manage the complexity.

The hybrid cloud has been heralded as a promising IT operational model enabling enterprises to maintain security and control over the infrastructure on which their applications run. At the same time, it promises to maximize ROI from their local data center and leverage public cloud infrastructure for an occasional demand spike.
Public Clouds are relatively new in the IT landscape and their adoption has accelerated over the last few years with multiple vendors now offering solutions as well as improved on-ramps for workloads to ease the adoption of hybrid cloud model. With these advances and the ability to choose between a local data center and multiple public cloud offerings, one fundamental question must still be answered: What, When and Where do you run workloads to guarantee performance while maximizing the efficiency.
