FOCUS CONFERENCE PREVIEW
DatacenterDynamics Conferences: Highlights, Events and Latest News
Information Officer at the Department for Homeland Security (and Federal Chief Information Officer Vivek Kundra’s lead executive on the Federal CIO Council for DCCI). Given the scale and ambition of the enterprise, this is a topic set to dominate investment decisions in the sector for some time to come, involving considerable consolidation and a shift to a cloud-based delivery model.

Growth and expansion characterized our conferences in Johannesburg and Shanghai. A record 300 delegates turned up to hear speakers from the UK, Germany, Italy and South Africa at the Sandton Convention Center in Johannesburg, while more than 400 data center professionals gathered at the Four Seasons Hotel in Shanghai for our third event in Asia Pacific this year. This event was opened by Dr Liu Meng, project head of the Server Energy Efficiency Standard from the China National Institute of Standardisation, and Kevin Timmons, general manager of Microsoft’s data center services.
JAPAN A POWER HUNGRY DATA CENTER SECTOR
DatacenterDynamics Tokyo will take the lessons learned from the European Code of Conduct and the UK’s Carbon Reduction Commitment to explore the design implications for Japanese data centers. The emphasis is on command and control technologies to regulate and improve efficiency, and the opportunities to utilize free cooling to achieve continued reliability while reducing carbon footprints in the data center.
In one of the world’s leading countries for new technology adoption, cloud computing and the internet data center will drive growth in larger facilities that service corporate enterprises with new delivery
ugust saw DatacenterDynamics welcome public sector data center operators to Washington DC to hear first-hand about the implications of the US Federal Data Center Consolidation Initiative from Richard Spires, Chief
and service models. Add to that the trend towards virtualization and high-density environments and the Japanese data center industry will not only become one of the world’s most advanced but also one of the world most power-hungry sectors.
With the Tokyo prefecture’s strategy to become a low-carbon economy through a targeted approach to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 25% from 2000-2020, the conference will examine how local operators will react to the race to build and renovate cleaner, more energy efficient data centers in Japan.
SINGAPORE SOUTH EAST ASIA HUB
Singapore is fast becoming one of the preferred locations in Asia for multinational companies to host their regional data centers. An efficient internet exchange along with the development of high-tech zones will help facilitate new projects that will effectively service companies looking to develop a reliable and robust regional IT shared service center. The challenge, however, is how to manage existing IT infrastructure and upgrade facilities to meet the growing demands of business.
DatacenterDynamics Singapore 2010 will bring together world- leading experts to address these issues to data center and IT infrastructure professionals in South East Asia. They will also discuss how to migrate and consolidate aging data centers into energy efficient, high density, secure and virtualized facilities that will meet the demands of the coming decade.
SWEDEN FREE COOLING IN ABUNDANCE
Stockholm is set to host our first conference in the region for Continued… LONDON – NOVEMBER 09/10
Looking forward to DatacenterDynamics London, 1,200 attendees are expected at our largest conference which will feature a mixture of more than 70 technical papers, case studies, panel debates and more intimate roundtable discussions. The theme this year is Designing for Demand. In the not-too-distant past, data center facilities were designed for constant loads and steady availability, now many need to accommodate ever-changing daily demand peaks and troughs, and load that is unpredictable. Design is witnessing a consequent transition from single tier, to multi tier and dynamic tier.
Applications, IT hardware and even the physical infrastructure layer must follow this dynamic rule. DatacenterDynamics London will examine the ways in which operators plan for and build data centers, taking into account all the component parts and their configuration where each is optimized for responsiveness and works holistically with the rest of the data center. For some, modularity may hold the key for long-term growth, but intelligent component design and monitoring will be driven to new heights to achieve the required flexibility and expected energy efficiency.
