HPE Carolinas CIO Executive Summit
April 26-29, 2018 Pinehurst, NC
The Changing Business of IT
Join HPE and select sponsors for an executive view into the evolving business of IT.
As IT evolves from delivering core infrastructure to providing real business value, the way we organize, align, and measure IT has changed.
CIOs need to be able to identify, measure, and analyzehow the business gauges IT’s success, both in terms of delivering core IT services and contributing to business value. What is needed is a set of relevant IT metrics that reveal how to “move the needle” on IT performance around these outcomes.
Further, IT leaders today have the opportunity to deliver contributions to their enterprise that go well beyond their area of specialization. We’ll examine how the process of change and change management is evolving, and how IT becomes the “Tip of the Spear” for the organization in driving the need for continual and meaningful change.
Our agenda promises to provide thought provoking insights into how the role of IT is changing.There will also be significant opportunity to socialize and have one-on-one engagement with peers in other organizations across and within your industry.Lastly, we promise sufficient time for you and a guest to enjoy legendary Pinehurst.
Inclusions: 3 night hotel accommodations, scheduled meals, hosted activities
Carolina Advanced Digital is involved with the SoT planning committee and will be attending the event.

Aruba CX Switches Core Workshop & Lunch (virtual)
Join Carolina Advanced Digital and Aruba!
Aruba AOS-CX is a platform that can scale from complex multi-tier topologies all the way down to the edge with the same operating system. This is possible with the Aruba 6300s and 8325s switches.
Switches still create the foundation of modern networks, yet their role has moved beyond purely providing high-performance wired connectivity. Switches must now offer high-performance Wi-Fi aggregation and also act as an IoT gatekeeper for everything from surveillance cameras to medical devices – all while delivering uninterrupted 24×7 network availability.
Aruba’s next-gen CX switching portfolio is purpose-built for today’s digital world, satisfying the most demanding use cases from the access layer, to the core, and to the data center. Built on cloud-native principles, our portfolio gives IT the flexibility to deploy a single platform from edge access to the data center that includes intuitive management tools and distributed analytics that transform the IT network operator experience.
Join Carolina Advanced Digital and Aruba for a hands-on virtual CX Core Fundamentals Workshop, and realize the benefits of the CX switch series.
