Tackling Mulit-Cloud Challenges with AI, Security, and Other Innovations at Cloud Field Day 22

Cloud Field Day is back for 2025, continuing the theme of hybrid cloud and multi-cloud from the last Event in October 2024. Our vendor roster for this event aims to ease the complexities and dangers of multi-cloud networks and ensure that applications can be deployed wherever they deliver the most business value. No doubt, the delegate panel will have plenty of questions. You can ask questions on social media, particularly the LinkedIn streaming page for each company.

Cloud Field Day Presentation Schedule

On Wednesday, we start at 8:00 AM, with Infoblox and the Infoblox Universal DDI product suite, which handles the fundamentals of efficiently and automatically managing DHCP, DNS names, and IP addresses across complex multi-cloud networks. If you have ever tried to build a unified network across multiple clouds and on-premises networks, you will know the pain of integrating the cloud DNS and ensuring that IP address ranges aren’t accidentally duplicated. From 11:00, Selector AI will showcase the Selector AIOPs solution to provide proactive alerting and easy incident resolution using ChatOps. Selector allows real-time alerting and drill down with comprehensive network visibility, path tracing performance monitoring, and fault isolation by correlating network and cloud events.  Selector uses ICMP and HTTP synthetics for performance monitoring to understand traffic latencies in different parts of the network. At 2:00, Catchpoint presents Innovate or Perish: IT Organizations Must Rethink Monitoring in the Cloud Age. Catchpoint will look at why, despite heavy investments, incidents and outages are not going away (they are getting worse). Catchpoint have a new way, a re-envisioning of monitoring to adapt and account for these factors through Internet Performance Monitoring (IPM), which they will demonstrate.

The livestream on Thursday also starts at 8:00 AM Pacific, when the Fortinet team show their fabric platform’s value in combined network and platform signals intelligence that speeds time to detect, decreases SOC effort, and enables rapid and low-risk response. We will see the red team vs blue team demonstrations that Fortinet brings to Tech Field Day events. Combining network visibility to malicious traffic using FortiNDR and anomalous behavior identification through FortiCNAPP’s composite alerts combine to increase signal fidelity, which is more actionable.  Through ML, FortiNDR and FortiCNAPP provide signal correlation and pre-investigation, allowing the SOC operator to respond quickly. Thursday will finish with a delegate roundtable discussion where we will undoubtedly gain even more insights into the challenges and joys of deploying and operating applications in a complex multi-cloud network.
