Building a Connected Factory: Practical Considerations for IIoT Implementation in Indian Manufacturing

According to Gartner, over 95% of new digital workloads will be deployed on cloud native platforms, up from merely 30% in 2021. In comparison to the legacy infrastructure, cloud native is more skewed towards elasticity, scalability, fault tolerance and availability. To become cloud native, enterprises are adopting numerous technologies like Kubernetes, Serverless, Containers and Microservices. However, there are several challenges in becoming cloud native. This may include over dependence on platform providers, modularity, loose coupling between microservices, automated deployment etc. How can CIOs overcome these challenges to become truly cloud-native?

  • Understanding cloud native architecture and its challenges
  • DevOps and continuous delivery
  • How to ensure scalability and elasticity in a cloud native world
  • Importance of observability and monitoring

Fireside chat-From Shop Floor to Delivery: Leveraging Data Analytics for Operational and Production Optimization

With the normalization of remote work, companies are now tasked to support and provide critical services to their off-site workforce. While it gives great deal of flexibility, it also widens the threat surface and enables cyberattackers to exploit systems. A survey suggests that 27% of organizations have experienced a security incident in their public cloud infrastructure within the last 12 months. Regulators are seeking to tighten the rules around data sovereignty and localization, thus posing challenges for many industries to move to the cloud. While cloud adoption is on the rise, it is not free from multiple challenges. How are CXOs dealing with those?
