Webinar: Enabling the Hybrid Cloud

Are you currently automating your Infrastructure as Code/Terraform deployments, or are you investigating that ability now? One key piece of being successful is making sure you don't overrun the budget when you open up the ability to deploy to teams.

When two Cornell University instructors wanted improve student access to course resources, they turned to the AWS Cloud. By using cloud-based virtual desktops and application streaming services, every student could access the same application on any device. This increased in-class interactivity, eliminated the need for visits to the on-campus computer labs, and improved the experience for distance learners. Now, students use the same applications required in future careers, in the classroom and beyond, and on any device.

In response to the federal government’s Cloud First initiative, agencies are moving to the cloud at an accelerated rate - moving on-premise applications, data and workloads to cloud infrastructure and adopting SaaS technologies like Salesforce, ServiceNow and Workday. What many in government have found is that integration and looking for government integration solutions has emerged as a stumbling block that has prevented government from realizing many of the benefits of moving to the cloud. This is because while a growing number of applications adopted by government are in the cloud, the underlying integration technologies connecting these applications are still based on-premise, meaning that government IT teams still have to spend time provisioning and maintaining infrastructure to ensure that their middleware doesn’t become a performance bottleneck for their applications.

While hybrid cloud deployments can make data management more complex. For containerized workloads in hybrid deployments there’s no better way to gain control than by combining Red Hat OpenShift and Cloud Volumes ONTAP.
