The Element Podcast: Cloud Architecture: A Guide to Thrive
In our third episode, we delve into what’s standing in the way of a fully hybrid future
While the shift to hybrid cloud presents opportunities for how businesses access and utilize their data, there are still hurdles preventing companies from fully embracing hybrid cloud
In this episode, we’ll explore how standardization and security are necessary to enable data to be more accessible and more normalized across IT environments
This episode’s guests include Robert Christiansen, Scott Yow, Daniel Newman, Jo Petersen, Anurag Agrawal, Dana Gardner and Tim Crawford.
Some companies are tentative about fully committing to hybrid cloud and other innovative technologies. And their reasons are understandable. Questions about a lack of common security and privacy standards, as well as governance, remain unanswered by some providers.
But the advantages of hybrid IT and innovative consumption models, like as a Service, clearly seem to outweigh the risks and uncertainties.
Nevertheless, standardization and security are necessary to enable data to be more accessible and normalized across IT environments.
And that’s because, undoubtedly, business continuity is the most important issue. If vendors can ensure workloads and applications are deployed in such a way that downtime is almost non-existent, companies are willingly embracing these new hybrid models.
In episode three of our series – The Element Podcast presented by Hewlett Packard Enterprise – five leading industry analysts and two HPE experts discuss trends in the as a Service marketplace and the steps HPE is taking to optimize hybrid cloud scenarios while mitigating the issues that could impact its adoption.
Here’s a highlight from their discussion: “Data centers have evolved over many, many years, and they're hybrid by nature. (HPE) has a tremendous amount of experience in that space. Understanding virtual machines, containers, different deployment models … what we bring with our consumption offer is the ability to deal with that complexity, simplify it and integrate it into a model where our clients can see that entire hybrid estate and (easily) manage it.” – Scott Yow
