Whilst India represents the IT and business process outsourcing hub for the World, the question of reliability in the IT infrastructure realm is still a challenge. As businesses rationalise the resources involved in maintaining in-house data centre's against a fully outsourced IT strategy, the question that will ultimately be raised in the decision making process is “Will low cost out-weigh reliability?” when it comes to planning for IT driven business functions?
DCD Mumbai is the first conference to address this issue from both sides of the coin. Designed to accommodate both IT and Facilities Management professionals (as well as those with one foot firmly planted in both camps), DCD Mumbai will not only evaluate and provide important information about how to best develop an outsourcing strategy for your IT infrastructure, but also provide best practices on making the most of your existing data centre facilities in the face of unreliable power infrastructure, a climate that is not conducive to free cooling and the internal pressures to minimising the need for further capital outlay whilst meeting your business requirement.
Don't miss the first conference in 2011 to answer the question of why & how you should build out, co-locate or outsource your data centre to meet your company's insatiable demand for processing power.
In order to guarantee that our conference programs meet the needs of our audience, we have developed a methodology that we use across all DatacenterDynamics event locations that we call ‘Global Knowledge, Local Insight'. Prevailing market conditions, technology and business drivers differ from city to country to region. By engaging in rigorous market research and ongoing discussion with local markets we focus conference content on global topics that warrant most discussion and how they can be best framed in the local context.
Each of our conference programs draws on an ever-growing pool of international industry experts, and is balanced with case-study material from local thought leaders. Our panels are renowned for their fusion of perspectives.
