With an ever-increasing number of cloud combinations, from private to public to hybrid to multi, it’s no wonder that IT pros and decision makers constantly seek out new guidance around how to formulate a coherent cloud strategy. With so many cloud solutions available, the challenge for IT organizations is how to find the right cloud solution to solve the unique challenges that they are facing in their data center. Watch this session to: 1. Learn about the reasons for adopting a hybrid cloud solution. 2. See how Rubrik can accelerate your yourney to the cloud. 3. Discover ways to get more out of data protection in your hybrid cloud or multi-cloud environment.

by Eelco Huurdeman - AI Cloud Solution Specialist at Centralpoint
Het IT landschap verandert in hoog tempo en om kennis snel en effectief toe te kunnen passen ontwikkelde Centralpoint zijn Continuous Value Delivery model. De crux van dit model is het oneindige proces tegenover digitale transformatie dat een eindig proces is. De journey van een onderneming stopt na de transformatie niet. Het zou juist een oneindig leer- en groeiproces moeten zijn dat kan worden aangejaagd door een deskundige en objectieve sparringpartner.
Deze aanpak vereist een nauwkeurig inzicht in het actuele IT-landschap van de organisatie. Het Continuous Value Delivery-model geeft vijf krachtige assessment-tools. Om te bepalen welke assessment het meest geschikt is om het proces van doorlopende verbetering op te starten beginnen wij bij de basis.
In de presentatie geven wij aan hoe een juiste start gemaakt kan worden, met bijvoorbeeld een Hybrid Cloud omgeving, ondersteunt door het CVD model. Welk delivery model maakt onze onderneming future proof en hoe adopteren wij nieuwe technologieën? Wij geven drie cruciale vragen mee aan u die van belang zijn om een juiste start te maken.

by Edwin Voermans - Sr. System Engineer at Nutanix
Data is one of the most valuable resources in the world and can be critical to your business’ future. But for many businesses, their databases are somewhat out of shape. Nutanix’s database solution is built from the ground up and makes databases simple. We’re slashing both DBA time and the cost of managing databases with traditional technologies.
In this breakout session XX will discuss Nutanix’ holistic view on data and help you achieve easy and simple data operations.

by Matthijs van de Berg - Systems Engineering Manager at Nutanix
In this session Matthijs van den Berg will explain how modern data centre architectures can help you build true multi cloud environments. Environments where workload placement is done based on the requirements of the applications like security, performance, location and cost and where native cloud applications and classic applications run side by side. What does this multicloud environment look like, and how do you get there?

Track 01
by Simon Townsend - Chief Marketing Officer at IGEL
Work from home dominated the end user computing space in 2020. It required some to rethink end user computing and provide an alternative technologies to ensure user productivity through COVID and the requirement to work from home.
This alternative approach, which we assumed might only be temporary now needs a longer term strategy – one that enables people to work from anywhere. The future of the “office” is unknown but one thing is for sure, working from the office and working from home are NOT 2 separate scenarios.
The technology we use needs to support this new paradigm. VDI and DaaS solutions, like those from Nutanix, have once again demonstrated how scalable virtualised desktops can be used to provide seamless, secure access for employees regardless of where they work. To enable this, the endpoint continues to be challenge for many. IGEL OS enables organizations to optimally embrace the cloud and yet overcome the challenges around endpoint management.
In this session, learn more about how Nutanix and IGEL are working together to provide cost effective, secure workspaces for users, regardless of where they work.

by Chris van den Berg - Business Development Manager Cloud at Arrow Cloud
De huidige omstandigheden hebben een grote impact gemaakt op hoe er wordt gewerkt. Dit heeft voor een enorme versnelling gezorgd voor het werken in de Cloud en de adoptie van de vele oplossingen die dit biedt. Hiermee is een nog grotere behoefte ontstaan naar oplossingen van verschillende vendoren en public cloud providers wat het inzicht in verbruik, maar ook de facturatie, lastig kan maken. Niet met ArrowSphere. Middels ons platform bieden wij een single pane of glass aan waarmee men voor alle vendoren en cloud providers de kosten inzichtelijk heeft, inclusief prediction analysis. Het platform heeft een krachtige billing engine waarmee met een druk de kosten inzichtelijk worden voor alle vendoren van een klant, licenties kunnen eenvoudig worden op- of afgeschaald, en er zijn vele andere features die men kan gebruiken (white-labeling, API etc.)

Keynote
by Paul Groen - Cloudspecialist at MetriGroup
Met de cloud realiseer je de snelheid en wendbaarheid die nodig zijn om up to speed te blijven met de razendsnelle ontwikkelingen in de business. Maar er ontstaat pas een win-win wanneer de kosten beheersbaar blijven.
Want hoe kan het nu dat de facturen van de public cloud providers zo hoog uitvallen? Met cloud zou alles toch goedkoper worden? Tijdens deze kennissessie vertelt Paul Groen hoe je wél inzicht krijgt in deze kosten en waar je het beste op kunt besparen.

Passionate and curious about the possibilities within the “”Clouds””, Artificial Intelligence and Sustainability, I’m always looking for answers that I can translate for my relations to usable content. But to get the right answers it is also a search for the right questions. As a curious IT professional, the search always continues in a rapidly changing IT world.
Together with my relations i’m on a search within ICT challenges for the right solution and i’m doing that with a personal approach. Why make things more difficult than necessary. An important aim is to provide solutions in an understandable language. No nonsense mentality.
In this session Matthijs van den Berg will explain how modern data centre architectures can help you build true multi cloud environments. Environments where workload placement is done based on the requirements of the applications like security, performance, location and cost and where native cloud applications and classic applications run side by side.
