The transformation of Datacenters demands a coherent integration of engineering, IT and outsourcing strategies
The last ten years have witnessed a shift of focus in data centre evolution from availability and resilience to optimisation, agility and scalability of physical and IT infrastructures and of the services they enable.
To be able to support this evolution, the CIOs and Data Centre Managers are being forced to collectively develop coherent strategies to integrate their physical infrastructure with their IT investments. Further, the rise of new outsourcing and Cloud models is also forcing decision makers to constantly re-evaluate the viability of their decisions and deployments in infrastructure and IT.
The need to support capacity growth whilst minimising Capex and investment risk is likely to promote increasing demand for outsourcing – in December 2011 Le Monde Informatique reported that perhaps 60% of French decision makers expect to increase the percentage of their outsourced capacity in 2012.
Other organisations, both private and public, aim to increase their investment in private Clouds in order to improve their flexibility and to optimise their Opex and exploitation of physical and virtual resources.
The present constrained and uncertain economic climate requires that investment decisions are optimised for maximising efficiency, flexibility and scalability and are also able to mitigate Capex and Opex risks.
In bringing together the best of your peers and competitors, DatacenterDynamics Converged Paris 2012 will permit you to access the best converged strategies developed to enhance infrastructure and IT performance and, therefore, help you in developing the most pertinent strategy to overcome your own challenges.
DESIGN, BUILD,OPERATE:
Design, Build, Operate focuses on every part of the mission-critical facility lifecycle. From site selection and engineering design through to power availability and full data center automation; this is a must attend event for any organisation embarking on a new data center project or operating existing facilities.
OUTSOURCING DECISIONS:
For every decision to build a data center there is one to outsource. From collocation to Platform-as-a-Service, from Software-as-a-Service, to building your data center capacity in the cloud, what are the options most appropriate to your organization? This conference theme explores an enterprise's strategic options for data center outsourcing, weighing up the economic benefits, the risks and the performance characteristics against those of doing it yourself.
IT OPTIMISATION:
The efficiency of the facility is only half the equation – optimizing all the systems that run within it is crucial: from processing to storage, to network to application. The ITO conference stream provides insight on how IT needs drive data center strategy and how that impacts infrastructure requirements.
