Best Practice Experience Of Delivering Efficiency and Cost Effective Data Centre Solutions

The data centre sector is doubling its capacity every four years due to the increasing need for more storage and cloud adoption. As a result, many senior ICT executives now need to decide how to meet the increasing demand: should they build new data centres, extend existing facilities or outsource more to co-locators? There’s also the complex matter of eco/energy efficiency for data centres, which requires speedy improvements.

At the Data Centre Strategy Forum, ICT professionals will get together to discuss the future of data centres, technical challenges of migration to the cloud, eco as well as energy efficiency challenges, and receive detailed guidelines to the process of making the right strategy, operation management and technology choices.

We will bring you the latest case studies from sophisticated private and public sector end-users and independent step-by-step directions on the complex issues of forecasting IT infrastructure and efficiency needs in response to growing digital demands.
