How do data center assets and operations you control need to evolve to support your mission, business and society-critical objectives now and into the future?

In the enterprise journey to cloud many of the expected benefits have been realized but there have also been many surprises. Trailblazers like you have learned valuable lessons and are re-optimizing their company's approach to hybrid cloud. Modernization and automation of data centers and cloud networks is crucial to meet your business outcomes. But what does the next-generation data center really look like, and how do operational models need to evolve?

We can glean a lot from the journey over the past few years—learnings from public cloud, enterprise workload migrations, and more. Come discuss key trends and discover where your teams may need to rebalance to better meet business outcomes.

Join thought leaders from Nokia, along with a group of your industry peers, as we discuss data center strategies and cloud operations models shown to improve productivity, reduce costs, and add greater flexibility.
