On 24 March 2021 at 10.30 AM, Join us at this
exclusive IBM Master Cloud Environments Executive Roundtable.

Why IBM Master
Cloud Environments Executive Roundtable?

Hybrid cloud is the dominant driving force behind the new wave of digital transformation, as CIOs look to platforms that enable their teams to achieve the levels of speed and agility needed for business to thrive.

Hybrid cloud architecture provides a consistent, standards-based approach to development as it allows for workload portability, orchestration and management across multiple environments. It gives organisations the ability to balance the need to keep some workloads on-premises or in a private cloud, while also taking advantage of the speed and flexibility of the public cloud.

However, this new architecture also brings with it the challenges of consistent and simplified management and automation; the integration of applications and workloads across all environments; and questions around the platforms best suited for individual applications and workloads.

Join us at this exclusive roundtable as part of the IBM Master Cloud Environments Executive Roundtable, to discover what the key challenges are, how to reduce hybrid cloud complexity and cost, and how IBM can accelerate your technology-led business transformation to better engage clients and create operational efficiencies.
