Sanjay Mirchandani
President & CEO, Commvault 

The days of clamoring for a seat at the table are over. It’s yours. Now, you just need to clear the complexity, fend off incoming threats, and do more with less to innovate for the future. It’s no small feat. In this session, CEO Sanjay Mirchandani will explore how simplifying your environment, going on the offensive, and embracing cloud data management will give you the confidence to do just that. 

Customers Panel

The world’s most dynamic organizations have learned how to transform their data into a powerful growth engine – revealing new product opportunities, closer connections to customers, and often a network effect of insights. But how do IT leaders effectively partner with the business to drive innovation while managing their teams, create new processes, and elegantly scale across infrastructures and clouds? Join us in a dynamic discussion on how these IT leaders have cracked the code to best support their businesses while effectively protecting, managing, and securing their data.

Fending Off Ransomware

Carol Clark

Don Foster
VP, Global Productivity & Evangelism Enablement, Commvault

Reducing the risk of ransomware is challenging but embracing a Zero Loss Strategy is essential to reduce the impact of an attack. Beyond simply adhering to zero trust principles and hoping for the best, the ultimate solution can reduce costs for your organization by utilizing one centralized management platform to gain end-to-end data visibility, protect hybrid workloads, and have the ability to rapidly recover – all through a unified approach. Join us as we discuss a Zero Loss Strategy, a new business-critical approach to fighting ransomware that will help you better plan, protect, manage, and recover your data.

Ransomware is evolving, and encryption isn’t always the endgame. With data leakage, exfiltration, and theft on the rise, today’s businesses need advanced capabilities to spot and contain security threats early – not just recover from them. In this session, we’ll spotlight how our modern ransomware detection service, Metallic® ThreatWise™, actively engages and surfaces unknown and zero-day threats the moment an attack begins. In addition, we’ll highlight our unique cyber-deception capabilities, the value of early warning, and how ThreatWise is redefining ransomware readiness to safeguard business data from double and triple extortion.

No two clouds (or cloud journeys) are the same. As your organization embraces the cloud, you must still manage your critical data regardless of where it resides. Learn from a customer CIO why the right data protection solution is your ticket to effective hybrid cloud adoption – without performance issues or vendor lock-in. Alongside Commvault CMO Isabelle Guis, Michele Buschman will describe the ups and downs of cloud transformation within a large enterprise from a CIO's perspective and leave you with a five-step checklist to accelerate your own cloud journey.

The adoption of Kubernetes, the open-source container orchestration tool, is the future. Many organizations have decided to deploy containers to speed up development and remain agile in this ever-changing world. With container and Kubernetes usage accelerating over the last few years, especially among large enterprises, it’s time to understand the efficiencies your organization will gain from adoption. In this session, Nigel Poulton, an industry expert on all things Kubernetes, and Commvault’s Mike Letschin discuss why Commvault is a leader in Kubernetes data protection with support for the most diverse tech stack.

Investing Wisely

Cesar Cid de Rivera
VP, Intl. Sales Engineering, Commvault

In recent years, evolving workloads and data management needs created multi-generational data sprawl, which remains a daily challenge for IT leaders. In today’s multi-cloud and hybrid-cloud environments, this data sprawl transcends storage concerns and enters into the dangerous territory of increased corporate risk, threatened profitability, and hindered operational excellence. 

Join us to discuss Navigating Cost Optimization & Risk Mitigation in the Modern Cloud Era. Within this session, we will unpack how Commvault can help your organization be set up for success – to rein in data sprawl, reduce your corporate attack surface, and optimize cost-effectiveness.

More than ever before, today’s IT Professionals face increased pressure to do more with less. Shortened delivery windows, coupled with the emerging IT skills gap, intensify the juggling act of delivering on competing business priorities. Many IT leaders are looking for solutions that can deliver on critical objectives without increasing operating costs, expanding labor hours, or increasing potential risk.  

Our Embracing the Power of Automation session dives into how companies can leverage Commvault’s powerful technology suite to increase efficiencies and reduce risk through auto-tiering, automated power management, intelligent pattern recognition, and numerous other capabilities, resulting in a reduced overall IT spend.

As customers grapple with increasingly large volumes of data, we know it gets harder to control costs and navigate compliance risks. By 2025, 80% of the world’s data will be unstructured, making it critically important to manage information lifecycles and control storage costs. 

What if you could harness an agile cloud-delivered solution to help manage costs and risks in the face of this data explosion? We’re excited to share a brand-new Metallic service to help you do just that. Join this session to learn more about our latest SaaS offering, and how intelligent data placement can help you save money and be compliance-ready.
