Season One: Wednesday 22 February

Using the power of cloud to unleash your business' potential 

Computing is delighted to announce Deskflix season 1 for 2023, Hybrid & Multi Cloud 

All modern businesses today run on the cloud, but many have yet to wake up to the full potential of hybrid and multi-cloud. Using the most suitable elements of varied cloud services allows organisations to tailor public cloud offerings to their specific needs, or to pick the products with which their teams are most familiar. It's also a way to avoid being locked-in with one cloud provider, and to add more resilience.

But there are also risks. It can be difficult to keep track of cost across multiple instances and workloads with a variety of vendors, and the same can be said of data, as it flows through several different cloud often across multiple regions there's also a potential loss of buying power, as even larger enterprises may be treated as a smaller customer with only a slice of their business going to any one provider.

Join this event to better understand these and other issues, and hear from IT leaders who have uncovered and solved these challenges.
