As organisations increasingly turn to a multi-cloud approach to provide their application and IT infrastructure, most expect and require these public, private and hybrid cloud environments plus existing and future on-premises infrastructures to integrate seamlessly providing a unified resource pool. At the same time, data protection and availability is expected no matter where the data and applications reside.
Successful implementation of a unified resource pool incorporating multi-cloud strategy relies on critical applications and data being available whenever they are needed, regardless of their location. Join experts from Veeam and HPE as we discuss:
• How multi-cloud strategy is driving innovation and change
• Determining optimum location for applications and data
• Delivering data protection aligned to business needs irrespective of application and data location
• Integrating multi-cloud and on-premises availability
