Events
Bloor organises regular events for our end-user and vendor communities including:
  • Annual Bloor Symposium
  • Executive programme events such as roundtables, workshops and seminars
  • Executive peer-to-peer networking events
  • Tele-briefings and Webinars
We have found that CIOs and other senior executives are keen to engage in discussion and debate with technology partners. Bloor brings relevant service and technology partners together with our CIO and leadership communities, in ways that maximise the value to both, making them mutually beneficial conversations. Bloor events enable CIOs and other senior executives to come together with technology vendors and service providers in a non-sales environment for the mutual benefit of both the vendor and the business. What sets Bloor apart from other providers are three key points:
  • We have close relationships with many of the most successful CIOs around the world
  • The calibre of our facilitator, often an ex-CIO, will create a frank, honest, and constructive atmosphere where you can gain the insight into what your target audience thinks.
  • Being vendor, media & research agnostic, we are recognised by the CIO community as an independent voice, able to create mutually-beneficial conversations between CIOs and vendors
Bloor is happy to assist you if your organisation is running or participating in an event. For instance, we can provide a speaker on an appropriate topic from among our independent analysts or a facilitator. Where appropriate we can carry out background research on the issues being addressed. For more information, please contact us.

More Information / Register

In order to deliver services reliably in an increasingly virtualised world, companies need seamless access to performance metrics across their entire infrastructure, whether on-premises or in private/hybrid/public cloud. However, vendors of virtualised infrastructure platforms and services and in-house technology providers struggle to provide effective performance SLAs.

In this session, Bloor Research will highlight what is needed to realise vendor-agnostic performance monitoring and Virtual Instruments will discuss how they are addressing these challenges.

  • Full Stack, Application-Centric View of Your Infrastructure
  • Highly Granular, Heterogeneous, Agentless Monitoring
  • Cross-Silo Correlation and Machine Learning-Based Analytics
