Using Automation to Cut Capex and Opex Costs in the Data Center
Many data center operators are using the current situation to consider new automation technologies for monitoring, maintaining, and optimizing data center performance. From advanced DCIM to asset management to facilities monitoring, new areas are emerging for automation to take the pressure off of the strained workforce as businesses demand all of their departments do more with less. Our panel of experts will discuss how this is enabling data center operators to reduce costs in purchasing, servicing, and operating equipment and services, thereby reducing both capital and operating expenditures. Discover ways you can automate areas of your own data center to meet the seemingly impossible demands of the business to reduce costs.
New Strategies for Ensuring Security in Today’s Data Center
As the need grows to readjust your workforce to accommodate local and company guidelines and to reduce costs, long-standing security protocols and best practices often no longer meet this changing landscape. That’s opening up more risk for intrusions into your data center. Our panel of experts will discuss ways to not only revise cyber and physical security protocols in this new environment, but also how to communicate them and train your workforce. In addition, we’ll discuss how to implement smarter security technologies that better anticipate attacks.
Business Continuity Planning for the Next Unprecedented Shock
Let’s face it – few, if any, companies were truly prepared for the kind of impact the coronavirus had on disaster preparedness and business continuity planning. With this wake up call, data center managers are rethinking policies and processes in a manner that previously had been unthinkable. Our panel of experts will share the best practices they’ve been considering – and implementing – over the past few months, and will discuss with the audience the challenges in implementing them as well as the successes they’ve learned.

Delivering Passwordless SSO and Provisioning Quest Accounts Across Office 365 Tenants
The new normal has impacted every organization. Some, modern businesses, have taken things in stride, while others, not quite remote-work ready, are still finding their way.
Whatever their situation, every business is leaning heavily on its cloud solutions like Office 365, Slack, and Zoom. Streamlining secure access to these apps through passwordless SSO, from whichever device they have available— their home desktop, remote workstation, or personal smartphone is critical.
At the same time, essential services are hiring workers at a rapid pace, often with different business units merging and working together. Provisioning guest accounts so that multi-tenant organizations can collaborate easily has always been a challenge for Office 365. Until now.
