Hybrid clouds comprise data, computing, and software applications that span from on-premises IT infrastructure to private and public clouds. There is a continual need for data to move, driven by data governance, sovereignty, and compliance, by cloud costs, and by cloud-based data analytic services. Data movement within hybrid cloud is an ongoing process that must be automated and managed. It's not a one-off, lift-and-shift data migration activity. Data needs to be maintained and remain fluid, available for analytic processing wherever and whenever needed. Tools to do this, in a sustainable fashion, are lacking in many organizations. 
Watch this webinar to learn about the state of the industry in hybrid cloud data management from 451 Research and Hitachi Vantara, where we share some advice on a process and solution for dynamic data migration for hybrid cloud and the savings and risk avoidance that it affords.

Join this TDWI webinar and expert panel to learn more about where organizations are in their data management journey, their challenges and best practices for success. As organizations strive to keep up with increasingly complex data and enhance their analytical capabilities, they often need to transform their data management practices. TDWI has observed that many organizations are migrating to the cloud or already have hybrid models in place that involve both on-premises and cloud platforms. Some are utilizing cloud data stacks to manage and store their data, while others use a data fabric strategy to integrate data across multiple environments, both on premises and in the cloud. Evolving an organization’s data management strategy, however, is a journey. The journey involves organizational transformation, architectural adjustments, infrastructure changes, and new data governance approaches.

The State of Data Management

The convergence of IT and OT has become increasingly vital, and CIOs play a crucial role in ensuring its success. Leveraging OT and integrating it with IT business data can accelerate digitalization and increase agility and adaptability. Data convergence is essential and involves utilizing front-office software and enterprise data to meet site operations requirements. Conversely, IT may need to adopt new tools to gather OT data and integrate it with business data for analysis and automation across departments.

Utilizing a unified data management solution can streamline the process, saving time and expenses while providing better operational awareness and outcomes.

During this webinar, we will explore a cutting-edge data management solution that seamlessly integrates edge (OT) and operations/business (IT) data. This powerful tool organizes and blends data in ways that enhance operational awareness, providing businesses with valuable insights, information, and a platform for automation. By leveraging this solution, businesses can streamline their operations and make data-driven decisions that improve efficiency, reduce costs, and drive innovation.

Unlock Operational Efficiency with IT/OT Data Integration

Do you find that BI, data science, and support teams aren't able to find, or access, relevant data to do their jobs? Or maybe executives complain about a lack of data or distrust of data from operations. If end users are discovering that data sets are incomplete or out-of-date, then this session is for you.

Industrial organizations are generating more data than ever before and looking to institute analytic applications to transform their organizations and give them a competitive advantage. Next-generation Data Lakes can create business value by efficiently storing all OT data in a central location and merging it with IT data. Whether you are creating a Data Lake from scratch or adding and managing operations data as part of your existing enterprise data repository, this session will help.

Discover how to automate the entire process to collect and securely store data from all sources and manage unstructured data, time series, documents, photos, video, and more. An Industrial Data Lake is the single source of truth for all your operations data.

You will learn how to:
• Create a trusted and unified view of data across multiple operating sites and regions.
• Eliminate data silos, empower optimization decisions and enable other operations departments.
• Control big data costs, curate, and catalog your data and support self-service dataflow management.

Activate your Industrial Data Lake for Data Products

Is Your Data Reliable and Complete Enough to Make Good Decisions?

The lack of new operator capability to run operations efficiently results in increased waste, lower productivity, and safety concerns. It is hard to hire skilled operators and supervisors which results in less production/maintenance capacity, slowing business down and reducing revenue. You want the ability to hire employees and have them functioning at the level of seasoned operators in weeks vs months using predictive and prescriptive analytics.

In this online seminar we will cover tools and techniques that will equip your team to get there more quickly and scale more broadly across your enterprise. This includes:
• Modern data connectivity and ingestion with minimal disruption to operations and systems
• Data prep including process tag name rationalization, time stamp alignment, etc.
• Leveraging Digital Twins for data modeling
• Training accurate and dependable ML applications for equipment
• APIs and embeddable dashboards for a unified HMI environment

Value Provided:
• A competitive advantage through the activation of company-specific data assets and processes
• Address large scale use cases in cost optimization and throughput; upstream and downstream plant optimization, examples: refining and chemicals, manufacturing production, water gathering and water distribution, customer demand and production

Bridging the Industrial Worker Knowledge Gap with AI and Digital Twins

Industrial organizations are generating more data than ever before and looking to institute AI and Analytic applications to transform their organizations and give them a competitive advantage, to control costs and optimize operations. Because DataOps is a new concept to industrial, there is a chasm in understanding between IT and OT teams that must be bridged to fully realize sustainable digital transformation for an industrial business.

As an Operations Leader, you understand the value of automation and operations management systems, but may struggle in the IT concepts and terminology that are more well known in commercial businesses such as banking, ad-tech, and insurance. You do, however, appreciate how a factory works and how well-designed production processes execute. Industrial DataOps is a lot like a factory production line in the way it automates, upgrades, improves, and assembles another valuable raw material which is, of course, data. In this session, we will explain Industrial DataOps in the context of the way a manufacturing plant is optimized. This will help to bridge the divide between the plant manager and the central IT manager, allowing the  understanding these techniques of professional data management to drive sustainable digital transformation. And also, we will share Lumada Industrial DataOps DEMO to share how we can help putting the data to work.

In this webinar, audience will learn
- How to bridge the divide between the plant manager and the central IT manager
- The techniques of professional Data management 
- Lumada industrial DataOps DEMO (Capabilities)
