On the edge of a revolution: IT and OT convergence

IT - ROUNDTABLE
21 February 2024, Europe 3:00 pm - 4:30 pm CEST
IN PARTNERSHIP

How are you continually improving your Edge stack to be secure, adaptable and cost effective?

Through 2025, 50% of edge computing solutions deployed without an enterprise edge computing strategy in place will fail to meet goals in deployment time, functionality and/or cost." - Gartner

The rapid convergence of IT and OT unleashes a creative force that powers new business models, accelerates innovation, and drives a continuum of compute and data across core, cloud, and edge. At the same time, the scale, security, and management complexity of IT:OT convergence requires a fresh approach for sustainable operations.

Join SUSE and a select group of your industry peers to discuss automating intelligently to manage an expanding compute and data continuum, the explosion of machine-to-machine connection and collaboration and unifying data at the edge for faster analysis and better outcomes, all while protecting data at rest, in motion, and in use. Share your own experiences and discuss best practices in this Meet the Boss roundtable.
