It’s high time to register 👉 www.cionext.com/20 and join us for the discussion on: ✔️ The Future of Mission-Critical Apps (and why it starts with the data) ✔️ The Power of Super Adaptability (diving into scalable data platforms) ✔️ Balancing Security and Rapid Innovation (how platforms bring the best of all worlds) In this episode, Hendrik Deckers speaks with Jay Subramanian about fostering innovation and tackling key IT challenges, including hybrid cloud environments, diverse applications, and distributed workforces in an era of exponential data growth. Jay emphasizes that while hybrid cloud enhances flexibility, it demands realistic planning, clear objectives, and a strategic approach to cost and risk management. He highlights the critical role of infrastructure consolidation and resource optimization, advocating for right-sizing and flexible "as-a-service" models in environments where data volume volatility is inevitable. How can organizations optimize resources and manage costs while maintaining flexibility in data management? Do regulations like DORA and US DoD standards enhance security, or do they hinder growth?
