Join a panel of experts from Cambria, Medica, Edmentum and Concurrency as they explore the future of the cloud. With its growing popularity and applicability to even heavily-regulated industries, the “cloud” has CIOs, IT Directors and startups alike asking what the logistics of offsite server management could mean for their businesses.

Today, companies must choose an architecture that’s right for them, their data, customer security, storage needs, budget and more. What should you consider when choosing between on-prem servers, cloud-based-servers or a hybrid solution? How do you start the discussion with your team? What is the process to migrate from on-prem to cloud-based servers? Is a hybrid model the best option for your organization? How has the increased adoption and evolution of the cloud impacted their server management? Why did they choose their specific solution and how it has benefitted their business?
