Creating a future-ready data centre means making clear, strategic choices, but how do you stay in control of your data, costs, and security in a hybrid environment? At this year’s Dell Technologies Forum, ARP and Bechtle invite you to an exclusive roundtable on Azure Local, where we’ll explore how to harness the flexibility of the cloud while retaining the control of on-premises infrastructure.

This is a unique opportunity to pair the inspiration of the main event with the depth of a focused, small-scale roundtable session.

A day full of inspiration.

As a valued customer of ARP and Bechtle, you’ll experience the Dell Technologies Forum as a fully immersive exhibition day—combining inspiration with in-depth insights.
In addition to keynotes, exhibitor stands, and the latest innovations from Dell Technologies, you’ll gain access to our exclusive roundtable on Azure Local. This session offers the opportunity to exchange ideas with fellow IT managers and take away practical, immediately applicable insights, including:

  • Data sovereignty and security in the hybrid cloud
  • Keeping control of monthly Azure costs
  • Migration options from VMware
  • Best practices and lessons learned
