The Authoritative Core Model: Design Patterns for Hybrid Multicloud and Edge-Core-Cloud Architectural Strategies

Mon Sep 18 | 1:30pm
Location:
Salon VI, Salon VII
Abstract

This talk describes a set of desired distributed location and data motion patterns that optimize storage/data placement for hybrid/multicloud and/or edge-to-core-to-cloud outcomes. What capabilities do you need to expect from your storage platforms to execute on a strategy that mitigates or completely eliminates cloud egress costs, yet also maximizes performance for workloads wherever they need to reside? How do you include sovereignty and governance into your foundational architecture? How can your overall environment remain nimble to respond to rapid change within and external to your organization?

Learning Objectives

  • Understand how to create a foundational infrastructure plan for new hybrid multicloud paradigms.
  • How to execute on "right place for the right workload" strategies, while maintaining leverage, control, and custody of your data.
  • Understand how to use the "table-stakes" data motion capabilities of storage platforms to your advantage, and what compromise (in any) each data motion strategy requires.
  • See case studies for examples of how large Digital Leaders are executing on this model to their benefit.
