Conferences and workshops of the SITI 2022

CIOs, IT leaders and architects must understand the changing role of data and analytics. Organizations face increasing challenges to make better and faster business decisions, but decisions keep getting more complex with a growing number of technical factors to consider. With cloud services, good software tools are available, and organizations generally can access the data they need to make effective decisions.

This session looks at the key to effective decision making, the art of knowing where and how to integrate data into business processes, applications and decision intelligence.

Panel discussion with 3 ITI experts on the key lessons learned from their vast experiences with cloud migration in the past years.

In today’s labor shortage and decentralized policies for companies, providing a modern work environment plays an important role. The impact of technology on the employee experience is a decisive factor for companies in their retention process.

How Lenovo can help you optimize your processes through its innovation, high-performance workstations and service offering.

Cybersecurity teams are facing an unprecedented increase in cyberattacks. Different organizations are using a multitude of incompatible tools in a siloed environment forcing teams to switch between different consoles, trying to manually correlate threat information. This approach is unfortunately unsustainable and can push detection and response times up to 280 days putting you at risk. To simplify visibility, detection and response, security teams must be able to turn weak signals into reliable alerts and act on them with confidence, either manually or automatically. Extended Detection and Response (XDR) helps provide that confidence with the collected context of all your consolidated environments in a single, easy-to-explore and easy-to-use view.

Are you challenged by protecting and managing ever-increasing amounts of data along with the costs to keep up with that growth? Are you regularly exceeding your backup window? Learn how thousands of organizations have resolved these issues with ExaGrid’s cost-effective, scalable, tiered backup storage. ExaGrid writes data directly to disk for the fastest backups, and restores directly from disk for the fastest restores and VM boots. The long-term retention data is deduplicated into a non-network-facing tier as immutable objects, to save on the storage costs and to ensure that data is always recoverable, even in the event of a ransomware attack. This two-tiered approach provides the fastest backup and restore performance with lowest cost storage efficiency.

Immutable isn’t invulnerable.
Immutability is part of a good Cyber Resilience strategy… How it’s designed and implemented is just as important.
Today we’ll explore the traps around immutability, isolation, analytics, and the best ways to avoid them.

How do we build on the foundations that came from remote pandemic victories, struggles, and learnings to thrive in challenging economic times? How can the work we’ve done over the pandemic to build digital resilience be manifested as long-term digital perseverance? How can we as technologists help solve the problems inherent in hybrid and distributed workforces, while creating new value and opportunity? Hear our observations on changing workforce expectations, how this is impacting businesses, and strategies to bridge the physical and digital divide that defines the New Hybrid.

In the last decade, the Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) has established itself as the new standard for IT security: if the basic concepts of ZTA have remained unchanged, the architecture itself has evolved a lot during the same period to add to the initial concept of micro-segmentation components of identity, systems, contextual telemetry, feedback loop, continuous evaluation, etc.

Having supported many companies in their efforts to deploy their ZTA in the last 10 years, we must admit that few of them have been able to set it up despite their real desire to adopt it. This failure is mainly due to the complexity of the underlying infrastructure required by ZTA.

In parallel to the evolution of ZTA we witnessed the adoption of cloud computing and its principles, enabling IT organizations to transition from managing infrastructure to focus on application and services.

What happens when we use cloud computing to offer the ZTA in service mode? A democratized access to the implementation of a ZTA in your environment

This session is intended for chief technology and security officers, cloud, network and security specialists, as well as enterprise and application architects.

85% of CIOs consider hybrid multicloud to be the optimal IT architecture. Learn how Nutanix, a Gartner HCI leader, won the bet to evolve its hyperconverged solution into a powerful multi-cloud platform that easily and securely runs applications and workloads from anywhere!

We know that having a reliable backup can be the difference between downtime, data loss and paying a costly ransom. Unfortunately, when it comes to ransomware, most organizations data security strategies aren’t evolving to meet the threat.
During this session we will discuss how you can improve your defenses and reduce the risk of data loss through the lens of Veeam’s ransomware research. Among the topics we will cover are:
How you can prepare for a ransomware attack
Why immutability and air gapping are key to data security
Best practices for rapid reliable recovery
And more!

What does back to the office mean to you? What is the IT role in the future of your company? Are you doing the same old thing or pushing ahead with new technology? It might surprise you what Lenovo can do.

Enterprises face several challenges when it comes to managing, monitoring and upgrading their network infrastructure. From the evolution of Wi-Fi, to advances in AI/ML and DevOps, to creating smart and sustainable workspaces, organizations need network transformation to automate, secure, and scale network connectivity to users and devices, making the network more critical to successful operations.

In this session, we will explore some of the key market trends for network transformation, including the impact of the hybrid work era on access network design and management. We’ll end the session with a list of key considerations to help you maintain an optimal, secure and scalable workplace.

Les données non structurées représentent 80 % de l’ensemble des données auprès des organisations et devraient croître à 3 fois le taux d’ici 2023. Quelles sont les principales tendances, et comment tirer parti de ses informations afin stimuler la croissance et l’innovation.

The public cloud experience has set expectations for user experience and simplicity, and established benchmarks for time to value constrained by data gravity, security and compliance concerns, latency, performance challenges, and app entanglement. Businesses need a cloud experience that can support their heterogeneous workloads wherever they are, whether in your data center, or at your colocations or edges, including those running in VMs, on bare metal, and in containers. And they need to provide DevOps with self-serve access to these resources.
