It also compares the routes to market by different types of ecosystem participants to identify utilities’ challenges.

Data-driven applications in the cloud often consist of several components that must ingest, process, and publish their data to users. Deploying and integrating it all on a bare-metal or virtual platform can prove difficult for any organization. Orchestrating and assembling these components on a cloud platform presents a new set of challenges to engineers, operators, and data scientists.

However, by combining Apache Spark's deployment methodology with Kubernetes' proven capability for repeatable integration patterns, it’s easy to create insightful analytics applications. Watch this webcast featuring a case study of an Apache Spark-based, data-driven application developed by a distributed team and deployed onto a containerized cloud platform.

Everybody wants to take advantage of the cloud to save money, make their infrastructure more instantly scalable and make app teams more productive. To realize those benefits you need to be able share data between legacy applications deployed on-premise and new apps in the cloud. Many people expect this to be easy, and are surprised to learn that this application connectivity can become quite complex and difficult to achieve if you don’t start with a holistic strategy.

So how do you achieve hybrid and multi cloud application connectivity in a simple, robust and secure manner without losing the functionality your applications need?

Cloud apps are being pulled into the enterprise hand-over-fist, with 93% of organizations using cloud-based IT services. But the efficiencies and convenience offered by cloud apps come at a price. While organizations have long been applying two-factor authentication to their network, VPN and email portals, they have failed to extend that same level of security to cloud-based applications, such as Office 365, AWS and Salesforce.

But the need for stronger cloud access security is only part of the story. Businesses looking to scale and increase their cloud adoption find there are other issues to contend with. Visibility into cloud access events and regulatory compliance become challenging to maintain. Helpdesk staff are burdened with password resets, and the most important link in the chain—users—are plagued with password fatigue.

This webinar explains:
•Challenges to greater cloud adoption in the fintech space
•How strong authentication complements access management
•Why cloud access management is critical to an organization’s cloud adoption strategy
