Virtualisation and cloud architecture has completely changed the nature of the data centre industry. Where once data centres were just cold rooms for your servers, today these important assets are the foundation on which dynamic and scalable IT services are built. This means that data centres and associated IT infrastructure needs to be built with flexibility, scalability and variable loads in mind whilst the delivery architecture needs to take into consideration the limitations and risks involved in 3rd party colocation and service providers compared to the cost and complexity of managing in-house assets with 20-25 year life cycles.
DatacenterDynamics Converged Melbourne 2012 will address the important issue of meeting business IT demands from both the IT and facility perspective. Our keynote speakers, solution providers and thought provoking panels will tackle the question of the optimal infrastructure mix to meet various IT demands as well as project how the widespread adoption of cloud architecture, big data and continues rising power prices will impact project planning and IT service deployment.
Following on from our highly successful annual conference in Sydney where we looked at the best ways of maintaining flexibility and scalability in your infrastructure, DCD Converged Melbourne will take a look a minimising downtime by exploring strategies to better manager facility level risks of cost, space, power and security by planning IT service that minimise stress on your available data centre assets.

DESIGN, BUILD,OPERATE:
Design, Build, Operate 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; this is a must attend event for any organisation embarking on a new data centre project or operating existing facilities.
OUTSOURCING DECISIONS:
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.
IT OPTIMISATION:
The efficiency of the facility is only half the equation – optimising 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 Melbourne 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.
