  • End-user computing must now account for the millions of workforces that have transitioned to hybrid and remote models. Virtual workspace models such as DaaS and VDI allow users to access virtual desktops to help streamline their workflow and minimize the burden on IT staff. However, companies must consider cost, scalability and management when deploying a virtual workspace, as well as security strategies to ensure workers are protected and able to remain productive. Join the Next-Generation End User Computing summit to discover how to best implement and manage hosted and virtual workspaces including DaaS and VDI.
  • To truly utilize the capabilities of the cloud, enterprises must implement a cloud-like experience for their on-premises data centers and improve their public cloud connections. This means that the future of the data center looks quite different from the present. Enterprises in the midst of modernizing their application infrastructure and migrating to the cloud are increasingly realizing they also need a cloud-like experience for on-premises data centers. To learn more about how to improve public cloud connectivity, attend the Updating the Enterprise Data Center online summit to gain access to live webinars and fireside chats from the world’s leading innovators, vendors and evangelists.

    A podcast with Weimo Liu and Sam Magnus of PuppyGraph Open source Apache Iceberg, Hudi and Delta Lake have made it possible to dispense with the complexities and duplication of data warehousing. Instead of requiring time-consuming extract, transform and load (ETL) procedures, these large table formats make it simple to tap S3 and other repositories.
