National Technology News, in partnership with Hitachi Vantara, is pleased to invite a cross-section of industry executives to an exclusive breakfast briefing focused on the emerging landscape of business resilience in today’s data-driven economy. As data volumes grow and digital threats become increasingly sophisticated, organisations are recognising that operational resilience is critical as both a safeguard and as a strategic enabler of business continuity and competitiveness.

In this interactive session, we’ll delve into the critical shift from traditional “Cloud First” strategies to a nuanced hybrid cloud approach, as businesses face increasing operational complexities and the growing demand for data sovereignty and control. As more organisations repatriate data from public clouds to secure and cost-effective hybrid cloud infrastructures, maintaining operational resilience and data readiness has become paramount.

Through presentations and discussions with industry leaders, attendees will explore how cutting-edge technologies can go beyond traditional backup to support uninterrupted operations and how organisations are leveraging these tools to enable seamless data movement and governance across diverse environments, even amidst unplanned disruptions. Additionally, attendees will discover the enhanced operational value provided by digital twins—not only for cyber resilience and accelerated recovery but also across a wide array of operational use cases such as application upgrade testing and streamlined DevSecOps workflows. Together, these capabilities elevate return on investment, delivering greater value for money and operational efficiency.

Attendees will come away with a renewed understanding of how a proactive stance on operational resilience—enabled by real-time monitoring, simplified management, and guaranteed availability—allows businesses to unlock new agility in responding to changing market demands.
