In today’s IT landscape, the question is no longer Cloud or On-Prem, it’s how to thrive in a world where hybrid is the new normal. Organizations face complex decisions to balance agility, cost efficiency, sovereignty, and operational resilience, while managing diverse infrastructures across geographies and regulatory environments. The objective of this session is to bring together a unique set of perspectives:
• Global cloud provider sharing insights on scalability and innovation
• Infrastructure provider representing infrastructure and hybrid enablement
• European cloud and AI actor addressing regional and compliance considerations
• U.S. companymoving toward full cloud adoption
• European company navigating sovereignty and regulatory constraints
Through this multi-angle discussion, we’ll explore practical strategies for hybrid architectures, governance challenges, and lessons learned from real-world transformations.
