Webcast: Splunk at Scale

As Big Data Analytics become mainstream, an increasing problem Splunk users see is how to scale infrastructure to handle exponential data growth and query workload. GTRI, the most credentialed Splunk partner globally, has teamed with flash storage pioneer Pure Storage to deliver a recipe for scaling Splunk infrastructure. Attendees will learn: - How to scale Splunk infrastructure without adding infrastructure management - When to make the move from direct-attached storage to all-flash SAN infrastructure - Why customers are saying “there is no cold data in analytics"

The Public Cloud Smackdown

Choosing a public cloud vendor within your organization can be a grueling battle between differing opinions. And if it begins to resemble a cage fight more than a heated debate, then it might be time for outside experts to weigh in.

In this session, our experts in Azure, AWS and Google square off to:

Compare and contrast the distinguishing features of each cloud ecosystem
Explain why there are times you need multiple platforms to stay ahead
Share why a multi-cloud approach is the model of choice in today’s ever-changing world

Data Center Evolution: Getting In Front Of the Change

BY THE END OF 2018, 50 PERCENT OF NORTH AMERICAN SERVER RACKS WILL BE OFF-SITE.

Data centers have come a long way since they first began appearing as a fixture of corporate computing. According to Datacenter Dynamics, the total number of data centers around the world was set to peak at 8.6 million in 2017, and then begin a slow decline. But what is driving the decline?

In the era of widespread cloud adoption and cloud-enabled managed hosting, more and more enterprises are realizing that managing issues like IT sprawl and underutilized servers is a headache they can live without. The economics of running large data centers has fundamentally changed, leading to a change in long-term IT strategy.
