The Shanghai data centre market is expanding at a rate that few would have predicted. As the epicenter of the Chinese financial, colocation, technology and logistics markets, Shanghai plays host to some of the most important mission-critical facilities in the country for multinational and Chinese companies alike. The dual pressures of increasing demand for IT services and regulatory requirements to host information within the country have put pressure on mission-critical infrastructure like never before. Facility managers face concerns of unpredictable latency and an inadequate pool of qualified talent. The daunting challenge of where to invest capital is also critical. Should businesses build to meet forecast growth or is outsourcing the right path?
Returning to Shanghai for our second annual Shanghai conference, DatacenterDynamics Shanghai 2011 will address the issue of how to design for the unprecedented growth within what is already the world’s fastest growing market. Through a series of presentations, case studies and round table discussions, the latest developments in the data centre market will be discussed and how they can be effectively implemented for mission-critical infrastructure.
In recognition of trends and the direction that the data centre industry is moving, all of our conferences across our 47 global locations will address the strategic, tactical and operational issues to equip our attendees with the knowledge and networking necessary for a holistic understanding of the challenges ahead.
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 centre automation; these are must-attend sessions for any organisation embarking on a new data centre project or operating existing facilities.
For every decision to build a data centre there is one to outsource. From collocation to Platform-as-a-Service, from Software-as-a-Service, to building your data centre capacity in the cloud, what are the options most appropriate to your organisation? This conference theme explores an enterprise’s strategic options for data centre 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 centre strategy and how that impacts infrastructure requirements.
DatacenterDynamics Mumbai is specifically designed to fill the knowledge and networking needs for both those responsible for the design, build an operation of IT facilities as well as key IT decision makers responsible for strategic decisions regarding capacity planning and technology investment.
