Storage administration has always been about fighting bottlenecks, but today’s architecture means it’s time to embrace them instead. In this episode, our panel discusses the premise that it’s most important to match bottlenecks to the position in the infrastructure stack and application. © Gestalt IT, LLC for Gestalt IT: It’s Time to Embrace the Bottlenecks in Storage

In this special episode of the On-Premise IT Roundtable podcast, sponsored by Pure Storage, we discuss the modern application stack and how technologies like object storage and Kubernetes are allowing companies to break free from their technical debt once and for all. © Gestalt IT, LLC for Gestalt IT: Technical Debt Will Bankrupt Your Modern Apps

Multi-cloud has quickly become a buzzword in the enterprise IT industry, but as organizations start to adopt multi-cloud strategies, their reasoning behind the switch may not justify the act itself. Although a multi-cloud approach can increase an organization’s availability, that alone doesn’t warrant introducing the complexity and costs that come with multi-cloud. Listen to this episode of the On-Premise IT Roundtable Podcast to hear how host Tom Hollingsworth and our esteemed guests, Ather Beg and Calvin Hendryx-Parker, unpack the concept of multi-cloud and uncover more impactful reasons than just high availability to consider adopting multi-cloud. © Gestalt IT, LLC for Gestalt IT: High Availability Is the Worst Reason to Go Multi-Cloud

The world is starting to recover from the pandemic. People are starting to ask if it’s time to return to the office. And more than a few aren’t ready to go back. At the same time, employers are trying to find a way to get people back, and they’re asking questions about the infrastructure. Could new fast wireless access points be the tipping point? In this episode, we discuss whether or not new wireless networks are enough to bring workers back to the office. © Gestalt IT, LLC for Gestalt IT: Is Enterprise Wireless the Key to Bringing Workers Back to the Office?

In this episode, brought to you by BlueCat Networks, we explore the importance of DNS to the way modern cloud operates and decide whether or not DNS is critical for the operation of modern cloud. © Gestalt IT, LLC for Gestalt IT: DNS is Critical for Modern Cloud

Cloud computing has transformed enterprise IT, but it is perhaps less obvious how traditional concepts like data protection and high availability have infiltrated the public cloud. In this episode, Cloud Field Day 11 delegates Max Mortillaro, Adam Post, and Thom Greene join Stephen Foskett to discuss the many ways that cloud computing has adapted to the demands of the enterprise. © Gestalt IT, LLC for Gestalt IT: Enterprise IT Has Transformed Public Cloud

With so much data at the average organization’s disposal, the task of storing it all — and storing it in an effective manner — seems to be quickly becoming more than humans can handle on their own. In this episode of the On-Premise IT Roundtable podcast, sponsored by Pure Storage, host Stephen Foskett is joined by Pure’s Prakash Darji, as well as IT luminaries, Gina Rosenthal and Chris Grundemann, to discuss how IT organizations can smartly manage their storage. © Gestalt IT, LLC for Gestalt IT: Humans Aren’t Smart Enough to Manage Storage

With the rise of Kubernetes and other completely cloud-based deployments, on-premises data centers seem to be on the way out to make way for the scalability and dynamism of the cloud. In this episode, Stephen Foskett is joined by George Wagner from Liqid and AI Field Day delegates, Frederic Van Haren and David Klee, to discuss innovations in the data center and AI composability. © Gestalt IT, LLC for Gestalt IT: Composable Infrastructure Will Save the Data Center From the Cloud

The enterprise storage industry has passed from the hard disk era through hybrid to all-flash, but what comes next? In this sponsored episode, Moshe Twitto of Pliops joins Enrico Signoretti, Chris Evans, and Stephen Foskett to discuss the end of the SSD era. © Gestalt IT, LLC for Gestalt IT: We Have Reached the End of the SSD Era

AI-powered applications are rolling out everywhere, but enterprises are really not ready for this shift. From lack of infrastructure to power training and inferencing, to a skills gap to manage data and AI, to a lack of readiness to deal with diversity and ethics, there are many holes in enterprise IT. Engineering teams tend to approach all applications from a technical perspective, but AI brings more to the table, demanding a deeper knowledge of bias and legalities than most other applications. © Gestalt IT, LLC for Gestalt IT: The Enterprise is Not Ready for AI

The enterprise network is full of data. We live in a world of telemetry and analytics and data lakes, not SNMP and simple measurements. In this episode, brought to you by Cisco, we take on the premise that traditional network monitoring tools can’t keep up with modern networks. © Gestalt IT, LLC for Gestalt IT: Traditional Network Monitoring Tools Can’t Keep Up With Modern Environments

Have networks just become on-ramps to the internet interstate? As we ramp up for Networking Field Day 25, Tom and Co. dive into the topic of on-premises networks and their function in this cloud age on this episode of the On-Premise IT Roundtable Podcast. © Gestalt IT, LLC for Gestalt IT: Are Our Networks Just Becoming Cloud Service Providers?

SD-WAN has been the truest example of implementing software-defined networking in the last decade. With the rise of SASE, we’re seeing the integration of software-defined security as well. In this episode brought to you by Cisco, we explore the idea that Multicloud Networking is the True Driver for SD-WAN and SASE Adoption. © Gestalt IT, LLC for Gestalt IT: Multicloud Is the True Driver of SASE and SD-WAN Adoption

Dynamic. Extensible. Scalable. These are just some of the key traits today’s companies need from their infrastructure, and frankly, it seems like the server as it has been known is not built to the same specifications. Check out this episode of the On-Premise IT Roundtable to hear how changes are affecting server infrastructure and, ultimately, answer the question: is it the end of the server as we know it? © Gestalt IT, LLC for Gestalt IT: Is It the End of the Server as We Know It?
