Unlock AI Capabilities: Best Practices for Risk-Free Oracle 26ai Upgrades
April 16 | Register Now! Upgrading to Oracle AI Database 26ai with AutoUpgrade simplifies the database process. Yet many teams can struggle with the storage infrastructure risk from performance variability, downtime and operational complexity during the transition. This session explores how to remove this infrastructure friction from Oracle 19c to 26ai upgrades by leveraging non-disruptive storage operations, snapshot-based rollback, and consistent performance at scale. Learn how to: Upgrade to Oracle 26ai using infrastructure best practices Align to a unified data platform Provide a stable foundation for AI-enabled workloads Register Now!Click. Configure. Run. Presets and Workload Setups for Consistent Database Environments
March 24 | Register Now! As database estates scale, DBAs spend an increasing amount of time re-validating the same storage constructs, compliance, and more—rather than improving database reliability and recoverability. This walkthrough demonstrates how workload-aware presets encapsulate these requirements into reusable, prescriptive configurations for well-defined database environments. By decoupling database intent from underlying storage mechanics, DBAs apply consistent protection, performance, and governance policies without per-database tuning or scripting. The result is deterministic behavior across the estate, faster deployment, and reduced operational risk as environments grow. Join us to learn about: Repeatable configuration at scale: Presets enforce consistent snapshots, QoS, naming, and retention across all databases. Policy-driven orchestration: Database workload intent is applied through templates, not scripts or manual configuration. Predictable recovery behavior: Consistent workload delivers reliable, high-performance restores with less risk. Register Now!

Register Now!FlashBlade & SQL Server: Enterprise Scale Rapid Recovery
February 19 | Register now! SQL Server estates are continually growing, and traditional backup targets often become the primary bottleneck in failing to meet aggressive recovery time objectives. Stop managing backups and start orchestrating them. Explore how Pure Storage FlashBlade®, as part of the Enterprise Data Cloud, overcomes constraints through a scale-out architecture for rapid backup and recovery throughput. We will share baseline performance data, including restore speeds exceeding 100 TB/hr, and provide practical guidance on integrating FlashBlade with native T-SQL backup using SMB and S3 protocols. Key Takeaways: Operational simplicity: Uses policy templates to eliminate manual configuration and human error. Flexible multi-protocol integration: Advantages of using both SMB and S3-compatible object storage as native backup targets, including the use of multiple Virtual Interfaces (VIFs) to maximize throughput. Optimized performance tuning: Gain insights from real-world validation data on how to balance host CPU usage and compression (using ZSTD) to achieve the most efficient backup and restore windows for your environment. Register Now!"What would you say your virtualization does here?"
July 10 | Register Now! If the virtualization landscape has you feeling like you’re stuck in a meeting about TPS reports with eight different bosses, you’re not alone. With uncertainty around VMware’s future, many IT leaders are being asked what they’re doing with their virtualization strategy. Join this satirical but serious Tech Talk as we dust off the old “jump to conclusions” mat to explore the four most common “conclusions” enterprises are being asked to evaluate. We’ll cover: Staying on VMware - Sticking with the familiar, despite the licensing and support changes. Choosing a new hypervisor - Considering alternatives like Proxmox or AHV and their tradeoffs. Moving to the cloud - Running your VMs on hyperscale infrastructure like AWS or Azure. Modernizing with KubeVirt - Embracing a Kubernetes-native model that supports both VMs and containers.
