Discover the drivers behind the rise in hybrid IT infrastructure and how to successfully plan and manage your transition

Webinar

Many organisations across the UK have discovered that “cloud first” has quietly turned into “hybrid by accident” – with critical workloads scattered between legacy estates, colocation data centres and hyperscale platforms, with costs rising faster than expected and a feeling of needing to regain control, this webinar will explore how to turn that accidental mix into a deliberate, well‑governed hybrid strategy.

Many organisations across the UK have discovered that “cloud first” has quietly turned into “hybrid by accident” – with critical workloads scattered between legacy estates, colocation data centres and hyperscale platforms, with costs rising faster than expected and a feeling of needing to regain control, this webinar will explore how to turn that accidental mix into a deliberate, well‑governed hybrid strategy.

Hosted by Asanti, this webinar will feature Wavenet’s Andy Bevan, Head of Cloud Specialists, and our own CEO Stewart Laing as they share fresh data and real‑world customer examples, which explore why so many organisations are repatriating workloads from public cloud, how to audit your current architecture, and practical ways to decide what belongs in cloud, or on‑prem. We will also look at sector‑specific models as well as the common pitfalls to avoid, and how to work with partners without handing them the steering wheel.

You will gain valuable insight into

  • Real world scenarios which demonstrate the main drivers behind this change
  • How to design hybrid infrastructure that’s right for your business
  • How hybrid models work for different sectors; practical use cases
  • Mistakes to avoid when rearchitecting and how to partner well
  • A word on AI workloads and data and how to future plan
