Humble Grape Liverpool Street, London

In today's dynamic business environment, financial pressures are compelling organisations to seek innovative solutions. As technology costs soar and data centre infrastructures age, a hybrid cloud approach offers a promising path forward. Balancing the flexibility of the public cloud with the efficiency of on-premises private cloud platforms, hybrid cloud strategies are increasingly essential for businesses aiming to optimise costs, performance and agility.

Enterprises are finding that their extensive use of the public cloud is reshaping on-premises demands. Characteristics once reserved for the public cloud, such as pay per use, end-user self-service, transparency and modern service catalogues – are now demanded in modern digital private cloud solutions for the on-prem.

Navigating the landscape of hybrid cloud also involves tackling compliance and data sovereignty issues, and making workload placement decisions based on the characteristics and needs of the application. As regulations tighten, organisations must ensure their strategies meet stringent compliance requirements.

This National Technology News special event sponsored by Hitachi Vantara will explore these critical themes via a fireside chat with industry experts and a moderated discussion with peers in which they will learn how to transform financial pressures, compliance demands, and technological challenges into opportunities for innovation and growth with hybrid cloud technology. Attendees will also be invited to take part in a guided wine tasting experience with an expert sommelier.

• How the public cloud is reshaping on-premises demands, and how organisations can adapt to this shift
  
  
• Ways hybrid cloud solutions can contribute to optimising costs and performance for businesses amidst escalating technology costs
