A Meet the Boss roundtable brought to you by IBM

To bolster business continuity in times of uncertainty, modernizing applications to take full advantage of cloud, whether private, public or hybrid, is vital. It is clear cloud is not a place, but rather a set of features integral to powering the modern business and to support the creation, deployment and running of applications.

The migration to cloud could arguably also be accelerated due to the steep rise in the consumption pricing of IT infrastructure, with flexible consumption for x86 servers was estimated to be around $728M in 2019 and is forecasted to reach $4.8B in 2024.

What’s more, the cloud skills gap is challenging specialized industries such as public services, telecoms and industrial works to deliver their infrastructure needs.

So, how can we confidently and securely move mission critical applications to one or more clouds while navigating the increasing cost of flexible consumption? How can we run heritage technology and applications alongside new containerized applications? And how can we create new applications and deploy them to the preferred cloud provider?

Join IBM and a select group of industry peers to discuss how to ensure business continuity through disruption, avoid unplanned downtime and address the cloud skills gap as we accelerate the move to secure hybrid cloud.
