The case is made: software architectures yield tangible competitive advantages in an increasingly digital world. In this session, see how hybrid cloud and multi-cloud powers the development of cutting-edge solutions, such as AI, AR, IoT, VR, and 5G; and necessitates a new approach to achieving digital transformation. One that is flexible, scalable, and enables resilience in unpredictable time. Examine how early adopters navigate the emerging distributed environments; understand the options, benefits, and considerations to deployment; and grasp how an optimized cloud environment is like a living system.
