This episode will be available to stream at 11am ET.

Distributed infrastructure is becoming the norm, but operating it effectively remains a challenge. As applications, data, and networks span edge, core, and cloud environments, organisations must balance performance, resilience, security, and control across increasingly complex ecosystems. This session explores the operational realities of distributed infrastructure and the strategies operators and enterprises are using to manage complexity at scale. Key discussion points include:

  • Balancing performance, resilience, and sovereignty across distributed environments
  • Improving visibility and control through observability and automation
  • Managing the complexity of cloud-native and software-defined networks
  • Building secure and scalable operations across multi-vendor ecosystems
