Rebalancing Cloud Economics: Cost, Performance & Sovereignty Luncheon
Cloud adoption promised speed and flexibility — but for many enterprises, the reality has become more complex. Rising cloud bills, performance trade-offs, and increasing data sovereignty concerns are forcing organizations to rethink their infrastructure strategies.
Join Aptum, Akamai, and eStruxture for an exclusive Executive Lunch & Learn in Calgary, designed for technology and business leaders navigating these challenges. Through focused presentations and a candid panel discussion, you’ll gain practical strategies to rebalance cloud economics while improving performance and sovereignty.
Our speakers will cover:
How enterprises are reducing runaway cloud costs and leveraging emerging sovereign AI cloud models (Aptum)
How edge and security strategies are enhancing application performance (Akamai)
How investments in Canadian colocation are enabling cost-effective, compliant infrastructure (eStruxture)
We’ll close with a moderated Q&A panel, giving attendees a chance to engage directly with experts and peers.
