SUNNYVALE, Calif. ‒ October 29, 2020 ‒ Druva Inc., the leader in Cloud Data Protection and Management, today announced its keynote speakers, lead sponsors and extensive speaker lineup for DxP: Cloud Data Protection Summit 2020. On Nov. 17, attendees will hear from leaders at Amazon Web Services (AWS), Chipotle, FireEye, Hope Global, Palo Alto Networks, Republic Services, VMware, Zoom and more, learning first-hand how to dramatically reduce costs, save time, and realize the value of data through a secure cloud-based platform.
Since the spring of 2020, the power and value of data has rapidly changed. Data has been the driving factor behind keeping businesses open, accelerating digital transformation and launching new customer experiences amid a rapidly changing business landscape. However, data’s potential must be matched with effective management to ensure continued compliance and minimal exposure to a growing number of risks, accidents, disasters or ransomware attacks. The full value of data can only be realized when it’s fully protected. DxP’s speakers have been carefully curated to highlight today’s most critical topics, including data center digitization, cloud migration, cloud environment and remote workforce protection, and cyber resilience.
“Almost every business is currently undergoing some part of their cloud journey, and many are accelerating major projects,” said Thomas Been, Chief Marketing Officer, Druva. “Honest peer discussions and insights from those who have been there is the best way to ensure your own success. We are incredibly excited by the number of companies that have come forward to share their personal stories, and I am confident every attendee will walk away from DxP with newfound insights to not only further their own career, but their organization’s cloud strategy.”
