The deployment of artificial intelligence (AI) and the adoption of hybrid cloud are two of the most consequential trends in IT today. AI – and generative AI (GenAI) in particular – promises to transform the role technology plays in driving productivity and reinventing business processes, both front-facing and backend.

Hybrid cloud, meanwhile, provides the means of supporting new, compute-intensive enterprise applications by combining the strengths of public and private cloud in a single environment. Delivered effectively hybrid cloud offers the elasticity, scale, and convenience of the public cloud with the assurance, security, and guaranteed performance of on-premise.

So far, so good. But both trends, separately and together, are not without their challenges. Barriers to deployment include cultural resistant, cost restraints, interoperability, regulatory demands, and the burden of legacy systems.

At this invite-only Tech Monitor roundtable we will convene senior IT leaders from a cross-section of industries to discuss the opportunities and challenges of AI and hybrid cloud – and to explore the possibility and potential of both- in partnership with Lenovo and Intel; “Accelerate the fastest-growing workloads with 5th Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors”.

At a time of technological volatility and economic uncertainty, this is an opportunity to hear from subject matter experts and to share your thoughts and insights with industry peers.

Among the topics we will discuss during the evening:

– The role of GenAI in your organisation

– How to support AI deployment with infrastructure

– Workload optimisation: public vs. private cloud

– The AI skills gap, and how to fill it

– Combatting escalating costs of public cloud

– Data residency, sovereign, and safety

– Safeguarding cloud interoperability

– Delivering low-latency environments

We welcome registrations from anyone meeting that criteria and will review and respond as soon as possible. Please note: Registration does not guarantee attendance but is subject to approval.
