There is a new class of clouds on the horizon that are built specifically to handle the big data generated from the shift to digital, including data created by the Internet of Things (IOT). These clouds integrate that flood of data with real-time analytics to gain greater insight to drive better customer relationships, gain more efficient operations, and improve security and risk management. While the digital opportunity is boundless, companies must understand and overcome challenges including security, performance, scalability, reliability and how to integrate a hybrid cloud architecture.
[push h=10]
Hybrid Cloud, IoT & The Digital Edge – Understanding the Interconnection of People, Locations, Clouds and Data in Today’s Digital World is invitation-only and limited to 50 senior business and technology leaders from major organizations in the Greater Toronto area. Roundtable members will benefit from a highly interactive format that allows every leader to exchange knowledge and experiences while networking over a two hour lunch.
[push h=10]
We will cover the following questions:

• What are the best examples of how industry leaders are using hybrid cloud infrastructure to maximize their digital strategies?
• How do you reduce the amount of latency between data and predictive analytic services, enabling real-time insights into real-world customer preferences and network loads?
• How are innovative organizations using the hybrid-cloud model to avoid risks of the public internet?
• How do you accelerate digital IT delivery while reducing cost by leveraging the cloud?
• What is the current and future landscape of IoT and digital business ecosystems?
• Why are industry leaders using clouds to make big data more accessible?
