As organizations increasingly adopt multi-cloud strategies, managing and securing infrastructure across diverse environments becomes more complex. This session explores how Azure Arc extends Azure’s powerful management tools—such as Azure Policy, Update Management, and Extended Security Updates (ESU)—to on-premises, AWS, Google Cloud, and other multi-cloud environments. We’ll cover advanced techniques for implementing unified governance, centralized update management, and securing legacy systems using Azure Arc.

In today's always-on digital landscape, minimizing downtime and data loss is critical for business continuity. This session dives deep into the integration of Azure local with Azure Site Recovery (ASR) to implement robust disaster recovery (DR) solutions. We’ll explore advanced DR architectures, data replication strategies, failover procedures, and automated recovery testing, empowering you to build resilient infrastructures that can handle catastrophic failures with ease.

As organizations look to transition from VMware, the journey to Azure Local in Azure can be challenging. This session is designed for organizations ready to move off VMware onto Azure Local. If Azure cloud not an option, Learn how Windows Server 2025, Hyper-V, and Storage Spaces Direct can provide a powerful, flexible, and scalable infrastructure solution that mirrors Azure Locals capabilities. We’ll explore how to leverage Azure Arc for unified management allowing organizations to deploy, operate, and secure their on-premises workloads with the consistency of Azure—all while staying compliant. Discover a practical path forward to modernize your infrastructure and future-proof your investment on the journey toward a fully Azure-integrated environment.

Decide when to use Windows Server and Hyper-V for clustering versus taking the leap to Azure Local. Gain real-world insights and a touch of humor to make the debate on clustering strategies engaging and informative.
