Today’s data centre industry is being revolutionised. In Hong Kong this change has irreversibly altered the course of IT infrastructure planning. No longer is capacity measured in floor space but in kilowatts. Stock exchanges are now turning into financial colocation providers, colocation providers are now evolving into cloud service providers and virtualisation, which was a novelty, is now a standard.

With every revolution, comes a period of adjustment and while an IT infrastructure strategy that includes both in-house architecture and outsourced services is now commonplace, strategy demands an optimal mix to meet enterprise needs. Where are the operational risks? What is the path of least resistance to providing the flexible yet robust data centre strategy to meet the demands of tomorrow? Find out at DatacenterDynamics Hong Kong, where our successful APAC series returns and will also investigate the following important challenges:

• How to implement the best data centre outsourcing strategy to meet your business needs. 

• Security considerations of migrating your systems onto private or public cloud architecture. 

• Assigning measurable benchmarks to performance improvements through the utilisation of various IT optimisation solutions. 

• Addressing the perpetual dichotomy of reining in the rising cost of energy whilst maintaining data centre reliability.  

• Everything-as-a-Service: What are the value propositions of the different outsourcing models?  From wholesale to retail collocation, from platform specific services (PaaS) to software-as-a-service and the cloud – how do you model economic benefits against risk? 

• Energy-efficient IT infrastructure or ‘green IT’: What are the benefits of migrating to next-generation low-energy multi-core microprocessor technology? How will your organisation take advantage of converged computing and how will that change the hardware profile of your data centre? 

• The virtualisation technology roadmap: Where next? Virtualisation is moving beyond the server in storage and networking virtualisation. Which technologies are ready for deployment and what impact will this have on your data centre topology?
