At this year’s DatacenterDynamics conference in London, data center industry’s leading experts will address the changing reality of mission-critical facility design, as operators increasingly find themselves in a new world described by modularity, high density, mixed-use infrastructure and CO2 reduction commitments.
One of the presentations during the November event – UK’s largest data center industry conference – will feature a panel of industry luminaries like Digital Realty Trust SVP of Technical Services Michael Manos, HP Critical Facilities Services Managing Director for the EMEA region Ed Ansett and Lex Coors, head of engineering at Interxion. The panelists will tackle head-on current issues today’s industry is faced with.
In a unique presentation, Chairman of the British Computer Society’s Data Center Specialist Group Zahl Limbuwala will demonstrate how to show return on investment in energy-efficiency initiatives. Attacking energy efficiency from another angle will be Storage Networking Industry Association Director Bob Plumridge, who will examine the impact constantly increasing demand for storage is having on data centers’ energy consumption.
Norman Disney & Young Engineering Director Brian Waddell will describe process of choosing from the wide array of available free-cooling solutions.
In a new development for 2009 the conference will include interactive roundtable discussion groups covering a roadmap for Carbon Reduction Commitment compliance, the Green Grid’s newly released European free-cooling maps and a frank appraisal of energy efficiency metrics and their use. For vendors a special session on how to ensure data centre technology and equipment complies with the Enhanced Technology List (ETL) scheme will be led by Paul Huggins, ECA Product Manager at The Carbon Trust.
DatacenterDynamics London is the UK’s largest conference and exhibition dedicated to the design, build and operation of mission critical facilities. Now in its 8th year the event attracts over 1,200 end user delegates from all quarters of UK industry and the public sector.
It will take place November 10 & 11 at Lancaster London Hotel on Lancaster Terrace.
