VMworld 2020 | Session ID: HCP1634

Oracle and SQL Server databases are licensed very differently than other applications, with many options from which to choose depending on requirements for features, mobility needs, virtualization/consolidation targets, and usage of third-party cloud resources. This breakout session will help you understand the options available to license Oracle and SQL Server database virtual machines. Learn to maximize your database licensing investment while maintaining mobility and minimizing the risk of an audit.

BrightTALK Summit – The Future of Enterprise App Development 2020

Have you automated your entire CI/CD pipeline except for the manual DBA actions? Are untested SQL scripts your main source of deployment issues? You aren’t alone. Many shops that embrace DevOps principles realize improvements in almost all areas… except for databases. In this talk, we will explore both methods for bringing Oracle DBA teams into a DevOps mindset, and practices for leveraging the benefits of DevOps automation for Oracle database operations.

2020 Technology Landscape: A Brave New Digital World Summit

With the advances in architectural compatibility between on-premises technology, and the top public cloud providers, it would seem natural to assume that enterprise applications are now moving with ease into the cloud. The reality, however, is that the ability to do something is far less important than ensuring that it is done correctly. There is still a chasm to cross before the majority of organizations feel comfortable moving their enterprise applications into the cloud.

Nathan Biggs, CEO at House of Brick Technologies, an industry leader in virtualization and cloud computing for enterprise applications, and John Grange, CTO at OpsCompass, a cloud governance software provider, will share their direct experience working with clients on developing their enterprise cloud strategies. The discussion will center on the business considerations for an enterprise cloud migration that go beyond technology, and focus on the risk areas of cost containment, process governance, and vendor license compliance.
