    Not all database workloads belong in the cloud—and not all should stay on-premises. Join Summit's infrastructure experts and Fortified Data's database experts as we explore the strategic decision-making process behind database migrations, cloud optimization, and workload repatriation. This partnership brings together deep infrastructure and database acumen to deliver outcomes-based results including cost savings, increased efficiency, reduction in complexity, performance enhancement, and more. 

    In this session, you'll discover how leading enterprises are reducing costs by 30-40% while improving performance through intelligent workload placement across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and on-premises infrastructure. We'll share real-world migration assessment frameworks, cost optimization strategies, and proven methodologies for determining which databases to migrate, which to repatriate, and which to leave in place. Whether you're planning your first cloud migration, evaluating multi-cloud strategies, or considering bringing workloads back from hyperscalers, this webinar will equip you with the insights needed to make data-driven infrastructure decisions.

    Key Takeaways

    • How to evaluate true TCO for database workloads across cloud and on-premises environments
    • Workload placement strategies that optimize for both cost and performance
    • When repatriation makes financial sense and how to execute it effectively
    • Building a hybrid approach that matches workloads to the right infrastructure

    Ransomware attacks on healthcare providers have evolved from data extortion events into full-scale clinical crises. When electronic health records, medical devices, or diagnostic systems are encrypted or taken offline, patient safety and care delivery are immediately at risk — and every decision, from containment to communication to ransom negotiation, carries legal, regulatory, and financial implications.

    Join our expert panel — featuring Lindsay B. Nickle, Partner and Cybersecurity & Data Privacy Vice Chair at Constangy, Linda Comerford, National Cyber Claim Advocacy and Operations Consultant at MarshMclennan agency and William Gadzinski, Director of Digital Forensics and Incident Response at Pondurance — as they dissect what really happens when a ransomware attack disrupts patient care. Learn how to coordinate technical, legal, and insurance response under pressure, minimize harm to patients and operations, and build a proactive playbook that withstands scrutiny from regulators, insurers, and the public.
