Fireside Chat covering IDC’s White Paper: BMaaS (Bare Metal as a Service) Will Play a Critical Role in Cloud Computing's Future for Customers

The cloud computing market is evolving in a manner that blurs the lines between on-premises, edge, and public clouds. This is because customers can have the broad benefits of cloud – such as scalability, flexibility, and consumption-based pricing – in all these locations thanks to advancements in hardware and in the supporting software stack. Cloud customers increasingly want this flexibility, and vendors are working to meet the need.

Join us for this fireside chat as guest speaker Dave McCarthy, IDC’s Research Vice President, Cloud and Edge Infrastructure Services and Jack Hogan, Pure Storage’s Vice President, Technology Strategy, Global Alliances as they discuss:

• Why organizations are looking for alternatives to public cloud infrastructure without the management burden of on-premises data centers.
• What strategies exist for handling the disillusionment associated with public cloud costs while still operating in an as-a-service environment.
• How bare metal infrastructure is solving unique customer challenges by giving customers a fresh canvas to design their cloud with the use of any software stack components they like, and in a dedicated, private environment with the benefits of physical, single tenant hardware which they have the familiarity and skills needed to manage legacy workloads.
