Now in its 8th successful year, DCD San Francisco will take place on 30th June at the Marriott Marquis San Francisco. Our annual conference brings together hundreds of industry professionals for a full day of networking and industry seminars and case study presentations. 
This year’s conference program covers 3 tracks Design, Build and Operate, IT Optimization, and Decisions Strategy, that focuses in particular on the world of data center outsourcing. So no matter what their role in the data center attendees will be able to benefit from the insight of the world’s industry-leading practitioners presenting case studies or technical papers on how to optimize internal and external IT requirements from a facility, IT, and business perspective.
Design, Build, Operate is our longest running conference theme and 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 organization embarking on a new data center project or operating existing facilities.
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.
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.
