Take the high road to IT success at the Glasgow Multicloud Roadshow

2 min read



The cloud-centric world offers an exciting host of opportunities to make your business more agile and your IT more efficient. Yet managing apps and infrastructure poses an increasingly daunting challenge as the reality of migrating complex and disparate application stacks hits home.

Throw into the mix concerns around compliance (especially GDPR), governance, and data sovereignty, plus spiralling public cloud OPEX costs, it’s clear to see why so many organisations choosing a cloud first strategy soon find themselves wading through treacle or, worse, remain static while they try to figure all this out. And we haven’t even talked about the skills gap and the latency issues particularly prevalent to Scotland.

Not only must the deployment, management, monitoring and optimisation of these workloads and data be done in a distributed cloud environment. It’s a highly diverse one too that includes multiple clouds and their varying nuances from your own data centre environment, where the long tail legacy looms large.

Fear not, as expert help is at hand. Join us for a Journey to Multicloud on Friday 27th of April 2018, from 1pm at the Blythswood Hotel, Glasgow. Register here!

We promise to provide you with plenty of food for thought when it comes to:

  • Tapping into the endless possibilities that Digital Transformation offers
  • Embracing multiple cloud offerings via your data centre
  • Speeding up innovation, streamlining operations, or reaching new customers

We will also address a number of the concerns on a multicloud strategy, as well as those specific to the Scottish market.

For example, we’ve got guest speakers from Datavita, a new cloud service provider based in North Lanarkshire who will tell you how they are supporting a multicloud strategy on the back of a phenomenal year of growth. Already co-locating and providing cloud services to a significant number of organisations, Datavita is well placed to provide multicloud services from its world-class facility.

What’s on the agenda

Ultimately, you need a multicloud strategy that understands your applications and data. One that is constantly learning, adapting and protecting. This all begins with the data centre.

So please do join us in Glasgow for this half-day session, which will cover:

  • Journey to Multicloud – a strategy and vision for the multicloud world
  • Hyperconverged infrastructure as the platform for multicloud
  • Cloud-based IT operations & management – simplified and automated
  • Multicloud security, management and governance
  • Performance monitoring and analytics for the app economy
  • Case study – DataVita

Finger buffet will be available from 12:30pm, with sessions starting at 1pm. A hard stop at 5pm will be followed by drinks and an opportunity to network with your peers.

Click here to register. We look forward to seeing you.
