Best Practices for Assuring Application Performance and Business Value in the Cloud

LIVE DINNER

IN PARTNERSHIP

Dinner Location: Perry's Steakhouse and Grille - Park District

Good evening…

And welcome to this Meet the Boss event in partnership with IBM Turbonomic.

Most organizations today are leveraging public cloud resources as part of their digital transformation journey. According 451 Research, these organizations allocate, on average, 40.6% of their IT budget for IaaS, PaaS, or other public cloud costs—and 72.3% expect that their spending in these areas will increase over the next 12 months. These significant sums are increasingly under scrutiny as the complexity of managing cloud resources becomes widely known—and felt.

Maximizing business value in the cloud cannot be achieved without ensuring that applications—the heart of the modern business—continuously perform, and that they do so at the lowest cost. Navigating performance-cost tradeoffs is complex. With organizations admitting that 32% of their cloud spend is wasted it’s clear that the complexity is challenging all facets of IT—from cloud engineers to FinOps practitioners.

So how can IT leaders leverage automation to simultaneously assure application performance and minimize cost? Join a select group of your industry peers over good food, wine and discussion on this essential topic.

From the entire team at Meet the Boss and IBM Turbonomic we look forward to hearing your thoughts and providing you with the right discussions to keep you on course, every course.

Bon Appetit!
