• Live Webinar: Hybrid Cloud: Building in Security from the Ground Up to the Cloud  Location: Virtual 
  Time: 2:00pm – 3:00pm EST
  Overview: When it comes to the cloud, agencies need options. Most mission-critical applications evolve over the course of their lifecycle, making it difficult for agencies to determine a single cloud strategy that can meet all of their cost, commitment and security considerations over time. In this webcast, a panel of experts including Stu Fleagle, Vice President of Carpathia Government Solutions, Jean Edwards, Director of Business Development & Program Capture at EMC, Mike Bartlock, IT Specialist at NIST and Timothy Grance, Senior Computer Scientist at NIST will discuss how today's hybrid cloud solutions that focus on building in security and compliance from the ground up, are helping agencies build flexible, secure IT environments that meet their application and compliance needs today and into the future.

Thursday, October 23

• Live Webinar: Deploying Hadoop: Eliminating Obstacles and Enhancing ROI
  Location:  Virtual 
  Time: 3:00pm – 4:00pm EST 
  Overview: Big data and large-scale analytics are increasingly important for optimizing business operations, improving customer relations, and understanding new opportunities. Hadoop is the de facto standard for big data analysis, because its MapReduce model is readily applied to a wide range of application areas. Unfortunately, deploying Hadoop is a challenge that requires significant expertise, planning, time, and financial resources. On-premises deployments incur significant overhead. During this webinar Raymie Stata, founder and CEO of Altiscale and John Greaves, Chief Scientist and Chief Information Security Officer at Carpathia, will discuss how Hadoop-as-a-Service (HaaS) can achieve the best return on investment (ROI) and how to minimize data analysis time, realize the benefits of data science and optimize your operations and information with complex IT environments and services.

"There simply is no one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to cloud; the right cloud solution is unique to nearly every organization. Whether they opt to deploy workloads universally in the cloud,  utilize hybrid cloud solutions that connect public and private clouds, or leverage public and private clouds with dedicated infrastructure, enterprises and federal agencies are ultimately seeking solutions that drive greater efficiency and productivity, while saving cost," said Brian Winter, Chief Marketing Officer at Carpathia. "By joining these conversations, attendees can gain market trends insight and best practices that can help their organization select the right solution for them. We are excited to participate in these events, and offer enterprise and government communities the opportunity to hear from our executives and engage with some of the industry's leading experts."
