Your Guide to Developing a Multi-Cloud Data Strategy

Organizations today are adopting cloud-based applications, platforms, and services to achieve greater elasticity and faster delivery times in today’s app-driven world.

As the name suggests, adopting a multi-cloud strategy means using multiple cloud services from different providers, with workloads spread out across cloud environments. While most businesses require rapid and flexible access to computing, storage, and networking resources, not all enterprises are pursuing multi-cloud for the same reasons.

Of course, not every team, business function, or application workload will have similar requirements in regards to performance, privacy, security, or geographic reach for its cloud environments. Whatever the impetus, companies must build a culture that puts data front and center in a world where every company is becoming a data company. This leads us to our main points: understanding key data challenges and getting your data ready for multi-cloud environments.

5 DataOps Best Practices For Cloud-Based Application Development

Fast moving application development teams increasingly leverage the flexible capacity and operational efficiency of the cloud to increase agility. Experiences with cloud-based lower-level environments are an opportunity to re-architect IT processes and establish new security policies, increasing knowledge and confidence when it’s time to migrate production workloads.

This is a time to optimize DevOps workflows and remove overhead that will hinder cloud adoption and scale in the future. The same should be true for the data pipeline that feeds the release train.

Hiring and Recruiting in a Crisis The Lessons of Covid-19: Online Recruitment and Post-Crisis Planning

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused unprecedented upheaval across the board. Everything from the simplest task (grabbing a cup at your favorite coffee shop), to complex decisions (how and when should your company adapt new hiring strategies), has become a challenge. And many of those challenges can’t easily be overcome.

In this eBook, we cover the range of online recruitment strategies, like virtual open houses, job fairs and video recruiting, that are available today. Additionally, we walk you through some of the more difficult decisions (like layoffs and furloughs) you may have to make during a crisis. We also talk about what HR and recruiting will look like post-pandemic, and what you should do to prepare for recruiting that may never look the same.

Hiring and Recruiting in a Crisis The Lessons of Covid-19: Urgent Hiring

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused unprecedented upheaval across the board. Everything from the simplest task (grabbing a cup at your favorite coffee shop), to complex decisions (how and when should your company adapt new hiring strategies), has become a challenge. And many of those challenges can’t easily be overcome.

In this eBook, recruiters and staffing professionals share their strategies for quickly hiring and onboarding healthcare and other urgently needed front line workers, despite a national shutdown and a looming worker shortage. Many of these strategies remain as permanent parts of their hiring plans.

Everything from the simplest task (grabbing a cup at your favorite coffee shop), to complex decisions (how and when should your company adapt new hiring strategies), has become a challenge. And many of those challenges can’t easily be overcome.

In this eBook, we see how companies initially responded to the COVID-19 crisis and the lessons learned. From travel bans, to quarantines, to the sudden need to adjust policies (like work from home), many things changed both temporarily and permanently. We also delve into what companies did to protect their brands during this time and how these tactics are helping them build stronger reputations going forward. Lastly, we offer support to managers striving to emerge as strong leaders, as they help their teams navigate difficult circumstances.

Move Forward Together

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.

The ROI Story – A guide for IT Leaders

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.

As a result, businesses can improve infrastructure availability, staff productivity, network security, and configuration compliance.

Best practices for migrating to containerized applications

When thinking about migrating applications into containers, there are three main high-level strategies: lift and shift, augment, and rewrite.

No matter which method you choose, it is important to recognize that most software was designed and written before modern, image-based containers were invented. Even if you choose the “lift and shift” method, where you might run a monolithic application inside a single container, it is likely that your application will need to be modified. To successfully move to containers, you will need a solid migration strategy that takes into account the needs of your applications and the nature of Linux® containers.

Learn specific, technical recommendations and guidelines for migrating software into containers—from image build procedures to production best practices.

Multi cloud app delivery solution that delivers a better experience

Multi-cloud app delivery solution from Citrix delivers reliability, performance, security, and single pane of glass management for all applications, on-premises and on Google Cloud Platform.

Cloud is changing the fundamentals of how IT teams deliver applications and optimize their performance. Applications are increasingly deployed farther from users, crossing networks outside of IT’s direct control. Instead of enterprise data centers, many apps now reside in public and hybrid cloud environments. There are even new breeds of applications, built upon microservices and containers.

Today, IT needs modern solutions that:

Extend on-premises, apps and infrastructure resources to the cloud

Maintain high levels of performance, user experience, and security across all applications, including microservices based apps

Sustain operational consistency across on-premises and cloud environments

These solutions are available for apps running on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) through the alliance of Citrix and Google Cloud.
