2o2o was a year of disruption - lockdowns, supply-chain challenges, unprecedented cyber-attacks, financial crunches and political upheaval.

Companies across many market sectors have been forced to rethink their technology infrastructure strategies so they can ride out economic uncertainty. For many, this includes looking for new ways to get more out of their multi-cloud infrastructure without breaking the bank.

Hybrid cloud is gaining popularity - with IDC expecting 50 per cent of enterprise applications to be deployed in a containerised/hybrid cloud environment by 2023. But avenues to achieve sustainable growth are hotly debated.

Join CIO Australia's editor-in-chief Byron Connolly; IBM's hybrid multi-cloud and open-source solution offerings leader, Chuck Bryan; and IBM's Asia-Pacific cloud platform leader, Aju Murjani on February 25 for an exclusive, invitation-only webcast, 'Future-proofing your hybrid cloud infrastructure amidst disruption.'

During this webcast, attendees will also get the opportunity to participate and ask questions during an interactive panel session.

Topics covered during this webcast will include:

• What changes organisations have made to their technology infrastructure to cope with the challenges of the past year. Actions that organisations need to take now to set themselves up for sustainable growth.
• How organisations are using multi-cloud strategies to support both new and mission critical workloads.
• IDC believes that by 2022, 70 per cent of enterprises will deploy unified VMs, Kubernetes, and multi-cloud management and tools across on-premise and public cloud infrastructure. We will discuss how companies are using platforms based on open-source, like Red Hat OpenShift for application development and modernisation.
• Key factors to ensure that your organisation has the computing power for innovative technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning in 2021 and beyond.
