<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During and after the event, make sure you keep your socials close to track and engage in the lively #CVConnections22 conversation online. Share your highlights and key takeaways \u2013 we want to know what you think!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For many attendees, Ranga Rajagopalan\u2019s roadmap session is the highlight of our packed agenda. With innovations coming thick and fast, we\u2019re delving into what\u2019s new for our Intelligent Data Services Platform \u2013 including our #DMaaS Metallic solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Did someone say SWAG? Yes \u2013 we did, loud and clear. Points mean prizes at Connections 22, and by participating in the **Connections Challenge, you could win some awesome giveaways, including a $5,000 AMEX vacation voucher (and you can relax with the knowledge that your data is safe and sound with Commvault).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Connections 22 is a Zoom-free zone \u2013 and it\u2019s definitely NOT death by slideware. As well as our keynote sessions, you will have access to DemoZones, Exhibit Booths, and a Networking lounge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where can you get a first look at the latest Commvault Portfolio additions? Connections 22, of course. We can\u2019t give the game away just yet, but let\u2019s just say that you don\u2019t want to miss our Roadmap session and our \u201cControl Storage Costs and Lower Risks using our latest SaaS-delivered Data Service\u201d session in our Investing Wisely Track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During this must-see session of Connections 22, our CMO, Isabelle Guis, interviews Michele Buschman, CIO of American Pacific Mortgage. Michele describes the ups and downs of cloud transformation within an enterprise and leaves you with a clear, five-step checklist you can use for your own cloud journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Businesses use multiple applications running their day-to-day operations, with every minute of downtime negatively impacting customer trust. Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery plans ensure that services can continue to operate during maintenance, failure, and large-scale outages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Multi-cloud environments bring customers options, efficiency, and price performance. They also increase complexity and the potential for security breaches. Join Joe Corvaia of Oracle and Commvault\u2019s Alan Atkinson to discover how cloud infrastructure hyperscaler Oracle is optimized for the expanding multi-cloud universe \u2013 and how they are working with partners like Commvault to provide ransomware and security solutions for enterprise customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our decades-long relationship with AWS is built on a shared customer obsession. Join AWS\u2019 Jake Burns, IDC\u2019s Archana Venkatraman, and Commvault\u2019s Vidya Shankaran for their Connections session on Transforming and Modernizing Your Data Strategy<\/strong>, where they will discuss recent trends in data management and digital transformation. You will also gain valuable insight into how your organization can be more efficient, more resilient, and better prepared should disaster strike \u2013 and do it all with minimal impact on your bottom line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our award-winning Data Management as a Service (DMaaS) portfolio, Metallic, has just turned three years old. And in that time, we\u2019ve quadrupled offerings, geographically grown to over 33 countries, and have over 2,500 customers worldwide.
