In this webinar Chris Ganly (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) Gartner Sr Director Analyst looks at why cost management demands a mix of approaches and improvements that touch every part of the enterprise if it is to truly serve the enterprise.

Discussion Topics:

• Three approaches to cost management and how you should apply them

While organizations accelerate moving their data-intensive applications to the cloud for cost cutting reasons, they are afforded the opportunity to adopt cloud-native technologies. IT departments are facing a radically different operating climate than they did last winter.

Now their entire user and customer communities have moved exclusively online and IT must make counter moves.

New requirements for personalization require a much more flexible data management infrastructure to map user behaviors, sessions and available products and services more effectively.

And users don’t just use laptops, they are mobile and expect consistency across experiences. What will you and your application do?

In this event Rahul Pradhan (LinkedIn profile) Senior Director, Product & Engineering – Cloud Databases will provide answers for how to improve development team agility by adopting versatile NoSQL database platforms, while it is automatically deployed and managed within their providers’ virtual private cloud.

Rahul will introduce the In-VPC style of deployment, which eliminates an inconvenient data residency issue found in everyday SaaS products who house customer data outside the owners’ network.
