TechFire is a series of management briefings for IT professionals.
Secure cloud migration: Have you got the tools and the vision?
Online Event — Wednesday 10 March 2021
In 2020 many companies were forced to accelerate their digital transformation efforts to keep up with the demands of remote working. As more data and applications move to the cloud for the first time or switch between vendors, 2021 will be seen as a year where simplicity and security become paramount.
From disaster recovery and testing to different models of cloud computing, any futureproof architecture will rely on best practice learned through experience and delivered by automated tools with a minimum of friction, regardless of scale.
Join speakers from Rubrik and Stryker as they share their expertise and experience of secure cloud migration at a time of unprecedented demand.
As always attendance is free but registration is required. One attendee on the day will win an Apple Watch SE
